Zulu King Godwill Zwelithi's utterances on March 23rd launched the Zenophobic attacks in South Africa and he had refused to apologize, even after finding out that his people have maimed, killed and destroyed businesses belonging to black foreigners. He's still insisting that foreigners should go back to their countries but tried to save face by saying attacking the foreigners is not how to chase them away. He wants the government to do it legally.

During a speech last month, Zwelithini called for the deportation of foreign nationals living in the country, saying it was unacceptable locals were being made to compete with people from other countries for the few economic opportunities they had available. King Zwelithi said "foreigners must pack their bags and go home".



His three major complaints and why he wanted foreigners to go were; 1. SA traders in the townships said they could not compete with the prices that foreign-owned businesses were selling their products. 2; foreigners involved in crime. 3. Lack of respect shown by foreigners to locals.

Addressing Pongolo community members during a moral regeneration event, Zwelithini accused government of failing to protect locals from the “influx of foreign nationals”. He said;
“Most government leaders do not want to speak out on this  matter because they are scared  of losing votes.  As the king of the Zulu nation, I cannot tolerate a situation where we are being led by leaders with no views whatsoever.
“We are requesting those who come from outside to please go back to their countries. The fact that there were countries that played a role in the country’s struggle for liberation should not be used as an excuse to create a situation where foreigners are allowed to inconvenience locals. I know you were in their countries during the struggle for liberation. But the fact of the matter is you did not set up businesses in their countries."
His comments were widely condemned with the SA DA describing it “highly irresponsible' 'Particularly given the recent spate of xenophobic attacks in South Africa, he should do the right thing – retract and apologise,”

He didn't and his spokesman went on record to say the King had nothing to apologize for, that he meant every word he said.
“I think the people who’re complaining are misinterpreting his speech. He didn’t say foreigners must be attacked or harassed. The king was talking about foreigners who are here illegally. Some are involved in serious crimes like drug and human trafficking. We don’t need such people in our country so the king is right.” His spokesman said
After the killing spread across different cities, the king has relented a little and is planning to speak to his people this Monday in an effort to quell the attacks. He's expected to address the public directly and clarify his statement and ask his people to stop the violence which his words started..

When people alive today continue to say things like Ghana must Go, it should not be left alone... People died and it is disrespectful to make fun of them by even saying it... So as long as it continues to be a joke then it should be remembered over and over. RIP to the victims of Ghana Must Go and may their killers face justice either here on earth or in eternity!!!

The name has evolved into some kind of normal everyday word; it is not intended to ridicule Ghana. Lots of people who use it where not even born when the deportation happened; so please do not think Nigerians intentionally making mockery of Ghana each time that bag is mentioned.

If you live in the richest country in Africa and are living on 28 dollars a month you may become xenophobic... The real solution is everybody developing their own country. Migration within Africa has never helped any country and has historically only caused problems. Can you give me a case of successful migration within Africa?? Africans are generally xenophobic so it is best for one to develop their own country and avoid being killed by criminals lacking empathy.

Bullshit, America is the way it is because of immigrant, look at all the top countries around the world they all have large amount of immigrants. Why are they not attacking whites, Indians and Chinese that are in the country.

May be he(the Zulu King) was high on those SA local gins before making those xenophobic statements.

In fact I'll suggest that many African traditional rulers should henceforth be subjected mental alertness test before making comments in the public so that their misguided statements don't lead to unnecessary loss of lives of innocent people...

I think kings should be banned from making public statements cos they're mostly selfish and sentimental.
I think Africans Generally are savages. In Nigeria we have the oba of lagos. Coz lag is one of the most populated and prosperous state in Nigeria he wants to kill foreigners that are even Nigerians and then this fool in south Africa is killing and destroying properties that belong to Africans. See HRM. Queen Elizabeth...in her wisdom and grace can't utter such nonsense. Or his it King of Sweden King Gustav Yet people who aren't even white or kinsmen commit crime and are not killed but sent away. God truelly isn't in Africa or perhaps the creator of the black man. What shame. See as Oyinbos dey laugh the Niggers.
