Arnold Nododile and King Misuzulu kaZwelithini at a recent meeting at Mashobeni palace.
AmaZulu king Misuzulu kaZwelithini has finally clarified the continued presence of his former Private Secretary, Arnold Nododile in the royal family despite the announcement of his dismissal by the Traditional Prime Minister Reverend Thulasizwe Buthelezi a week ago.
Speaking during a meeting attended by Buthelezi and other princes at the weekend, the king personally addressed Nododile’s presence, dismissing any notions that he was expelled.
In an audio clip that was shared by Nododile after the meeting, the king put the matter to bed by telling his Prime Minister that Nododile was still very much part of the royal family proceedings.
“Let me emphasise this, Ndamase (Nododile) is not fired. Ndamase has other duties that he would perform here in the royal family. I am saying this to dispel concerns that there is a vacant position here, Ndamase would remain here and continue to provide services to the crown,” said the king.
