This after rumours that he was gunning for the top position.

Zulu Prince Simakade Zulu has quashed rumours he is challenging King Misuzulu kaZwelithini s claim to the throne. I wish to assure everyone that I have never expressed such ambitions to anyone. I have heard that there are talks that there are people who wish me to ascend to this position. There is nothing I can do about that, he said on Tuesday.

THE supposition that epistemic knowledge production is neutral and not biased have been rigorously debunked and further critically engaged.
Epistemic knowledge production is situated and has locality, and the knower situation is evident in the known.
The same is true and can be said about the South African negotiation discourse; it is situated and has locality.
The public discourse about the South Africa negotiation is situated in polarising the âethnicâ violence between AmaZulu and AmaXhosa.
