The Zulu King and the Mpondoz have an old relationship, the King somehow spent his childhood years growing up with the late Xhosa King, Isilo might have gone to initiation with the Xhosaz ( remember what was said at the Chosa Kings funeral).

Isilo is correct.

Only those who have been brainwashed will avoid ukwaluka in Xhosa you are not complete if uyinkwenkwe you will never have a wife and you will never even be allocated a space in rural areas to build a home you will be laughing stocking of everybody

He usually say in Zulu ,'mina angizikhulumi indaba zabantu' why now speak on something you know nothing about, all those who have grown up and stay in places where thier fore fathers, fathers, brothers and neighbours doing this thing called ukwaluka will never avoid it

Since when Zulu nation or king speak about this...it seems like is interfering on ather ppl's matter. We never go to their invent including INKATHA FREEDOM PARTY.

Good because who can his child where she or he knows it's risk.

Give BACK THE LAND TO YOUR ZULU PEOPLE and then give your two pence advice on initiation!!!

Young men will be stupid not to avoid ‘initiation’.....should not take the chance at all!!!!
