IT seems the Zulu royal divisions and squabbles are far from over, despite attempts to resolve them.
On Wednesday, Zulu monarch Prime Minister Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi threw yet another shade at late King Zwelithini’s siblings Princess Thembi Zulu-Ndlovu and Prince Mbonisi Zulu.
Buthelezi accused ANC top leaders of being behind Princess Thembi and Prince Mbonisi regarding the squabbles and divisions.
He told Daily Sun that he knew the people who had discussed the language of plans as Princess Thembi, and that they learnt it from the ANC-external mission with the propaganda of their leader Nobleman Nxumalo’s book, Gatsha Buthelezi: Chief with a Double Agenda.
