AbaThembu King Buyelekhaya Zwelibanzi Dalindyebo is indeed the biological father of Prince Azenathi Zanelizwe Dalindyebo, his first-born son, according to paternity test results. The DNA results were presented at a media briefing at Garden Court in Mthatha by AbaThembu elders led by Nkosi Thandisizwe Mtirara.
AbaThembu King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo’s eldest son, Prince Azenathi Dalindyebo, has joined the ANC, saying he was embracing the family heritage where his ancestors played a critical role in the formation of the organisation.
AbaThembu King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo has claimed that his uncle, the late Nelson Mandela, had demanded from former president Jacob Zuma he be put behind bars and dethroned from his kingship during the build-up to the ANC’s Polokwane elective conference in 2007.
The Mthatha High Court has ruled that Prince Azenathi Dalindyebo be allowed to stay at Bumbane Royal Palace near Mthatha and that his father, AbaThembu King Dalindyebo, returns to him all the items that he took from his son when he sent him packing.
