King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo will pay a courtesy visit to former president Jacob Zuma in Nkandla on Saturday
The visit was initially set for Thursday, but was moved to the weekend, when the king and his delegation were expected to make the trip from the Eastern Cape to KwaZulu-Natal to see Zuma at his home.Dalindyebo’s spokesperson, Prince Mthunzi Ngonyama, told City Press that the king wanted to see how the former president was doing, following his recent release from prison on medical parole.
This was at the height of a campaign by sections of the abaThembu nation, who wrote to the former president to remove the certification of recognition for the abaThembu king, because he apparently behaved in a matter that they considered to be unroyal.This will be the second visit the monarch makes to Zuma, following a meeting in 2014, when Dalindyebo went to apologise to the former president after he had publicly criticised him and blamed him for his legal woes at the time.
