The AmaZulu regiments have condemned the actions of KwaZulu-Natal Economic Development and Environmental Affairs MEC S’boniso Duma and demanded that he urgently apologises to the Zulu nation.
The incident occurred at the 110th commemoration of King Dinuzulu kaCetshwayo at KwaCeza outside uLundi on Saturday. The incident has sparked a public row between the African National Congress , the Inkatha Freedom Party and the King’s regiments. “Our presence here is to ensure we contribute to nation-building in KZN because there’s a feeling that violence may resurface especially now that we are facing the general elections. We have gone past that stage of infighting,” says Zulu regiment Muzi Nyandeni.“We are expecting that those who disrespected our king must go and apologise to him. When you do that you don’t just go empty-handed but you must have cattle and be penalised accordingly.
