King Misuzulu orders end to political violence in KZN
Amazulu King MisuZulu ka Zwelithini has given a royal order for all political violence in the province to stop.
The Zulu monarch made the appeal during an address at the Oval Cricket Stadium in Pietermaritzburg where he officially opened the KZN legislature on Tuesday.
It's ahead of Wednesday's State of the Province Address.
The king, who was joined by KZN Premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube, addressed some 2000 dignitaries inside the chambers.
Recently, Police Minister Bheki Cele revealed that at least 52 councillors have been killed in KwaZulu-Natal since 2011.
“The killing of Amakhosi needs to come to a stop immediately,” the King said.
“We are a province of peace and understanding. I call upon all the law enforcement agencies to arrest and prosecute criminals who are giving our beautiful province a bad name.
“I have declared the year 2024 to be the year of peace, unity, revival, pride and dignity amongst the Zulus and the province of KwaZulu-Natal.”
