Zulu King, Goodwill Zwelithini while speaking at an anti-xenophobia
imbizo at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, denied that he ignited
the xenophobic violence in South Africa.
During the gathering, which had 10, 000 people and 300 traditional
leaders in attendance, the head of the Zulu nation stated that his
people are peaceful and he has called on them to protect foreigners in
KwaZulu-Natal.
“Coming to why I called this Imbizo, what is important, that I need
to highlight is that this Imbizo is not that the Zulu King sparked what
happened. It is for me to let people know that we should stop what is
happening. It has made me happy that the South African government agrees
with me that there is a Third Force that we need to be dealing with, or
fighting.”
“This violence directed at our brothers and sister is shameful. I’m
certain that the people who were listening to my speech (last month),
understand Zulu well and did not need interpretation.”
