After being credited for fueling the Xenophobic
attacks in South Africa, Zulu King Goodwill
Zwelithini has been persuaded into acting after a
series of meetings with provincial and national
government leaders.
Zwelithini’s call on foreigners to pack their bags
and leave is what reportedly started the wanthon
attacks onAfrican immigrants in the country .
According to City Press Members of the ANC
provincial executive this week,called for the king to
be asked to address the public directly in an effort
to defuse the situation.
Zwelithini has now called an imbizo in Durban for
tomorrow, where he is expected to call for an end
to xenophobic attacks.The imbizo, at which the king
will address the province’s traditional leaders and
their subjects, will be held at the Moses Mabhida
Stadium at 10am.
This is coming after more than a week of efforts by
national and provincial ministers to convince the
monarch to publicly call for peace following his
controversial comments in Phongola late last
month, which are regarded as having triggered the
violence.
President Jacob Zuma, who cancelled his trip to
Indonesia to deal with the crisis, yesterday paid a
visit to the Chatsworth refugee centre in Durban,
where mainly Malawians, Zimbabweans and
Mozambicans have been accommodated since being
driven out of their homes.
He told the foreigners that government was not
forcing them to go, but would provide transport to
repatriate those who wanted to leave. Those who
wanted to stay, he said, would get help to return to
their communities.
“We are not fighting with you as government. Not
every South African is saying you must go. It is a
small number of people who want you to go,”
President Zuma said. “We want us to live as sister
and brother.”
Last week, as pressure increased on him to retract
his words or apologise, the king dug in his heels and
blamed the media instead.

He should be kill like our murdered friends in SA

OGUN LOMA PA BOBO YI..


OLOSHI...

Mtchewww! Bow to pressure! I thought he stepped down sef

Mumu king
He doesn't deserves our respect one bit

d problem i have with this issue is..." what has our own govt done.. or are they still busy counting their loss

I am sure some of his kids live abroad. He made a careless statement knowing fully well his peoples history with xenophobia and forgetting that karma is a bitsh.

For SA,

What then happens to the lives lost and property destroyed. Does everyone just wake up and it's hack to business as usual?

For NG,

I hope our FG learns from this experience.

Why doesn't he take the path of humility and kuku step down. These kings sef
