Prince Thulani Zulu the Spokesperson of the AmaZulu King, Prince Thulani Zulu says they are happy that the King will be able to address the nation.
“It pains me and it hurts me a lot that our family squabbles are now in the media. I’m happy that our King will now be able to address the nation. It will be a big blow to the nation that issues have not been resolved. Justice has prevailed. We would’ve definitely followed any ruling set by the courts. All would’ve not been lost, the nation would’ve been addressed by the premier of KwaZulu-Natal.”
