ZULU KING MISUZULU DEEPLY REGRETS HIS UTTERANCES AND ASK FOR SINCERE EXPRESSION OF REMORSE ON HIS RANTS TO QUEEN NOMZAMO MYENI
The Office of His Majesty King Misuzulu kaZwelithini has finally responded on the matter involving the circulation of private video recordings depicting him in personal interactions with Queen Nomzamo Myeni.
The recordings were circulated publicly without the knowledge or consent of Misuzulu and relate to conversations that occurred within a private family setting.
According to the Royal House Acting Spokesperson, Mpikayise Buthelezi said it is important to clarify that the recordings are historical in nature and do not represent the present circumstances within the Royal Household.
The circulation took place on Thursday night while Misuzulu and Myeni were jointly undertaking official duties at KwaKhangelamankengane Royal Palace, where they received a delegation from Build One South Africa (BOSA), led by Mr Mmusi Maimane.
"The continued participation of His Majesty and Her Majesty in official engagements together reflects their shared commitment to the institution of the Zulu Monarchy and to the service of the nation. It also demonstrates that the difficult circumstances portrayed in the recordings belong to a period that has since been overtaken by reconciliation, reflection and the continued fulfilment of their responsibilities.
"Notwithstanding the private and historical nature of the recordings, His Majesty acknowledges that certain expressions made during an emotionally charged moment fell short of the dignity, restraint and decorum that the nation rightfully expects from its Monarch. His Majesty recognises that the words spoken have caused pain, disappointment, embarrassment and disquiet among members of the Royal Family, amakhosi, the Royal Household, religious leaders and the broader Zulu Nation," said Buthelezi.
Buthelezi who was recently appointed after Prince Thulani Zulu was axed said Misuzulu deeply regrets the hurt caused by his utterances and humbly asks those who were affected to receive his sincere expression of remorse.
"He acknowledges that leadership carries an enduring responsibility to demonstrate wisdom, patience and respect, even during moments of personal difficulty. This expression of regret does not diminish the dignity of the Throne. Rather, it reflects His Majesty's understanding that true leadership also requires humility, accountability and the courage to acknowledge when one's conduct has caused pain to others. In keeping with the values of respect, reconciliation and dialogue that have guided the Zulu Kingdom for generations.
"His Majesty has dispatched a delegation of senior Royal House Elders to engage with Unyazi Lwezulu of the Nazareth Baptist Church.The delegation has been instructed to formally convey His Majesty's profound regret regarding the unfortunate utterances made during that private exchange and to reaffirm the deep and enduring respect that His Majesty and the Zulu Throne hold for Unyazi Lwezulu and the Nazareth Baptist Church," said Buthelezi.
Buthelezi further said: "His Majesty hopes that his sincere expression of regret will be received in the spirit in which it is offered and that those who have been hurt will find it within their hearts to accept his remorse. His Majesty remains committed to preserving the dignity, unity and integrity of the Royal Household and the Zulu Kingdom.
"The Office of His Majesty the King respectfully encourages the public to consider the full context in which historical material is introduced into the public domain and to assess His Majesty's leadership through his continued conduct, service to the nation and commitment to the unity and dignity of the Zulu Kingdom.
The Office further appeals to members of the public to refrain from the further circulation of private material."
Lowkey… am I finally at peace with a lot of things, or did God just free me from carrying what was never mine to carry? Because so much that used to consume me doesn’t even move me anymore. I think that’s what happens when you leave it in God’s hands.
Parents stop being strict when you are no longer a dependent. You have a job, you have a car you bought yourself, your own house, and you handle your bills.
When you call them on Mother’s/Father’s Day, pick them up in your car, take them to lunch, pay, gift them, take them home.
