King MisuZulu kaZwelithini has dismissed Inkosi Malusi Zondi from his position as the Zulu kingdom's royal chancellor alongside Nododile Ndamase, who served as chief director in the king's private office.
Amid skirmishes over proximity to the AmaZulu King MisuZulu kaZwelithini, political parties in KwaZulu-Natal have joined the fray, warning that the standoff risks damaging the image of the royal house.
At the heart of the schism is the unceremonious removal of Inkosi Malusi Zondi as royal chancellor to the Zulu kingdom and trusted aide to the king. Zondi was dismissed alongside Nododile Ndamase, who served as chief director in the king’s private office.
No reasons were given for stripping the duo of their roles or for the subsequent disestablishment of the two offices.
Now the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, the official opposition in the provincial legislature, believes the sweeping changes are part of an ongoing factional battle to influence the Zulu King’s inner circle.
