INKOSI OF THE BUTHELEZI CLAN AND

TRADITIONAL PRIME MINISTER TO THE ZULU MONARCH AND NATION

It is with the utmost grief that I inform the nation of the passing of His Majesty King Goodwill Zwelithini ka Bhekuzulu, King of the Zulu Nation.

Tragically, while still in hospital, His Majesty’s health took a turn for the worse and he subsequently passed away in the early hours of this morning.

On behalf of the Royal Family, we thank the nation for your continued prayers and support in this most difficult time.

May His Majesty our King rest in peace.
