A presidential pardon is what is standing between Abathembu KingKing, Azenathi Dalindyebo, is expected to continue in his role while the Abathembu Kingdom applies for a presidential pardon.
The Abathembu King’s release came as a surprise to some while it was a welcomed move to others, especially the AbaThembu kingdom. “It is not an indigenous law. As we have come to this juncture of our democracy, we adopted certain western laws. As Abathembu, we didn’t think our king should be incarcerated,” says Abathembu Royal House’s Chief Ntsika Joyi.
“He should not be treated like a criminal. We want him back on his throne,” says villager Msokoli Maqondo.
Welcome back King, let's get back to business...
Give this leader time and space. Where in life did you see a person just starting to rule. First he is still have to be accepted by his people and the given over to reign. Where are you in hurry to SABC?
10 crimes, including arson, culpable homicide, the kidnapping of a woman and her six children, defeating the course of justice and assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. and he expects to still lead the same community thats he offended? Really?
Send this criminal back to jail...
The King's certificate has never been revoked since the coronation and beside he is a King by virtue of bloodline ( he is on duty), therefore no presidential pardon is required for his resumption of duties.
Ahhh Zwelibanzi
