Zulu Traditional Prime Minister Thulasizwe Buthelezi has warned that no individual has the authority to declare themselves part of the amabutho or mobilise King Misuzulu kaZwelithini's regiments without royal approval. Speaking at an event honouring former Royal Chancellor Malusi Zondi, Buthelezi stressed the need to uphold traditional leadership structures and cautioned against opportunists seeking to use regiments for political or social campaigns.
