South Africans on social media rejected a pledge of collaboration Zulu King Misuzulu kaZwelethini signed with King Ogiame Atuwatse III, the Itsekiri Olu of Warri in Nigeria in Nongoma, KwaZulu-Natal on 16 May 2025.

According to Sunday World, Misuzulu and Atuwatse III signed the symbolic pledge of collaboration, and Misuzulu said the pledge was not a symbolic gesture but an awakening of ancestral bonds between the two nations. Misuzulu said the two nations, separated by boundaries, are united by kinship, legacy and both nations' roles as custodians of African heritage, culture and dignity.

Misuzulu said the purposeful meeting was born not out of convenience but a vision both nations shared to lead the Zulus and the Warri people into a future rooted in identity. He said both nations are ready to build trade and cultural relationships, and considered the engagement as a testimony of Pan African unity.

The Premier of KwaZulu-Natal, Thami Ntuli, announced that the royal house received R86 million annually, a 4.3% increase. The money is meant to assist Misuzulu's cultural roles. Misuzulu also reappointed Prince Thulani Zulu as his current spokesperson. Zulu left the position three years ago when he fell out of favour with Misuzulu after he ascended the throne.

WHAT DID SOUTH AFRICANS SAY?

Netizens commenting on Sunday World's Facebook post rejected the partnership.

Jacinta Zinhle MaNgobeswe Zuma asked: "Collaborate to do what?"

Anele Jones asked: "Why did God curse us with such spineless and stupid leaders? What did we do to deserve this? This so-called king doesn't even love people under his leadership."

Lutendo Mphidi Chi-anzi said: "He doesn't understand the tribe he leads. Unless he's doing it intentionally."

Matthews Maphalala asked: "Out of all the tribes, he chose Nigerians?"

Balebetse Seleka said: "I think the wrong man was chosen for the Zulu monarch.

Trevor Ndlela said: "The problem with our king is that he does not understand the tribe he leads."

Mavuso Lungelo Mawande said: "This country is out of control now. We have our domestic issues to sort out."

Misuzulu said the purposeful meeting was born not out of convenience but a vision both nations shared to lead the Zulus and the Warri people into a future rooted in identity. He said both nations are ready to build trade and cultural relationships, and considered the engagement as a testimony of Pan African unity.

This doesn't sound so bad. I don't see any tangible reason why their people are angry

The comments from the south Africans is so funny
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣

Can Warri people please tell me more about yourselves. I don't believe all of Nigeria falls under the stereotype we hold in SA.

One fool,who I'm certain is from Nigeria was even gaslighting them into attacking SE instead of Nigeria.

The level of degeneration in Nigeria these days is alarming.

Anyone expecting meaningful development in Nigeria is daydreaming.

Biafrans! Over to you! Nigeria is bad, Nigeria is bad! Who actually is bad egg that spoilt that Nigeria? Answer is their for you from south africa! Imagine if the south west that are doing everything to give good recognition to this Nigeria worldwide (through technology, sport, entertainment, education etc) is not part of Nigeria, tell me what would have been left? Let's change our attitude to always promote this country for good as good ambassador.

Giving Nigeria a good name by supporting and voting an FBI-indicted drug trafficker (who is currently sinking the country and battering it's image) against one of the purest gentlemen in Nigeria's history, Mr Peter Obi?

Just after supporting another clueless dullard for the past 2 election cycles?

Why should they insult Nigeria when they know the country involved in powder?

The inconsequential are ranting online while the real men are signing deals

Some South Africans are naturally bitter sha. Probably it's too much of frowning that made some of them to be ugly

Even, you yourself put question mark as a form of doubting yourself when you mentioned Obi. However, thank God I am not the one that said it. South Africans, indians, Indonesia etc are the ones confirming the tribe. They never mentioned any other tribe from Nigeria except the one they called notorious drug tribe of Biafran. They did not mention Tinubu and best Biafran lawyers that Tinubu defeated could not trace any drug to him. Ohanaeze should do something in Biafra land, this is too much and embarrassing

South Africans doesn't understand the way of the gods

There's no comparison, Rama is refined. Tinubu is in the Obasanjo WhatsApp group.
