Dramatic scenes played out at the state funeral of the late King of Amampondo when his younger brother interrupted the service by taking to the podium to criticise a faction of the royal family, Ramaphosa & government for allegedly hijacking the service.
The court order was primarily launched to prevent Stella and Nobandla from the proceedings and for Ramaphosa and his government officials to only engage with late king's uncle, Prince Dumelani Sigcau, regarding the funeral arrangements and proceedings.
When the running order of the funeral allegedly deviated from the court order, Mbasa Sigcau jumped to the stage and bumped aside Health MEC Nomakhosazana Meth from the podium before launching into a tirade. Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Land Development Zoleka Capa tried in vain to convince him to stop and to step down from the podium.
