Seven relatives, aged between 29 and 79, were gunned down while mourning the death of another family member near Qunu in the Eastern Cape on Wednesday night.
Barely four months after AbaThembu King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo and his estranged son, Prince Azenathi, smoked a peace pipe, the two are back at each other’s throats over Bumbane Great Place. The king on Wednesday again told DispatchLIVE (http://www.dispatchlive.co.za) that he would disown Azenathi and not allow him to live at the royal residence as long as Azenathi insisted on his mother, the king’s former wife, judge Buyiswa Majiki, staying with him.

The case of assault against AbaThembu King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo for allegedly attacking his son has been postponed.
The case was opened after Dalindyebo allegedly trespassed at the Bumbane Great Place, where his son and wife resided.
The incident happened just three months after Dalindyebo was released from jail on parole.
The case of assault against AbaThembu King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo for allegedly attacking his son, Prince Azenathi Dalindyebo, last year has been postponed to 14 May 2021.
The NPA announced on Wednesday that the case was postponed for Dalindyebo s team to make representations to the National Director of Public Prosecutions.
Dalindyebo was arrested in March last year for
allegedly assaulting his son, prince Azenathi Dalindyebo, in an incident that allegedly involved him wielding an axe and machete at the Bumbane Great Place. The king allegedly assaulted his family with “bushknives and an axe” and vandalised the property.
It was reported that king Dalindyebo assaulted his son following a dispute over his paternity. He was also allegedly aggressive towards anyone who attempted to approach him.
Dalindyebo was
released on early parole in December 2019 after he served four years of a 12-year prison sentence for arson, kidnapping and defeating the ends of justice.
