“They subsequently held a hunt, in spite of the Family’s decision.
“Based on the Family’s decision, I warned Mr Nhleko (Mgilija) that neither he nor his regiments should attend a hunt in the absence of the King. He agreed that he would not do so. Nevertheless, he proceeded, as I learnt later and attended the hunt. When some people asked him how he could be there when the King was not there, he responded that as far as he knows a King has not yet been appointed.
“Clearly His Majesty does not encourage people to defy regulations. He never sent Mr Nhleko to Nkandla, nor did he instruct him to go.”
