Zulu regiments beat up ANC supporters
Blood was shed at the 110th commemoration of King Dinuzulu KaCetshwayo as Zulu regiments clashed with ANC supporters in KwaCeza.
This comes as tensions flared following ANC KZN chairperson Siboniso Duma’s disrepect towards AmaZulu Traditional Prime Minister Thulasizwe Buthelezi.
ZULU REGIMENTS DEFEND PRIME MINISTER
During the event, Buthelezi called on ANC leaders to follow in President Cyril Ramaphosa’s footsteps and to respect King Misuzulu kaZwelithini. As he proceeded to name ANC KZN leader Bheki Mtolo, Duma yanked the mic from Buthelezi.
Duma then ordered Buthelezi to be seated and requested the King’s praise singer Buzetsheni Mdletshe to usher the King. However Mdletshe defied him saying he cannot break protocol.
Angered by Duma’s actions, the Zulu regiments rose and heckled Duma, who is also the MEC for Economic Development.
According to Scrolla.Africa, the regiments turned on ANC supporters, beating them with pangas on the head. Speaking to the publication, chairperson of the South African National Civic Organisation in Mzala Nxumalo Region, Mlungisi Zungu, reveals where the regiments are from.
Zungu also raised his concerns as one of the victims remains unconcious.
“About nine comrades who were injured are here at kwaCeza Hospital. We are worried that there’s a woman who is still unconscious. Most of our comrades were beaten on the head and the regiments who did this horrible and shameful act of criminality were coming from the 17 Hostel in uMlazi, South of Durban,” said Zungu.
