Durban – The Royal House says blaming people of Zulu ethnicity for the ongoing xenophobic violence in parts of Gauteng is misplaced.
The monarch on Monday said most Zulu-speaking people were naturally respectful; it was a pure surprise that the violence was being seen as an act by one ethnic group only.
The comments by the Royal House come after a meeting called by former IFP leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi with chief men in the province erupted into chaos, his speech being disrupted. Stores were trashed and people attacked on the streets. As a result of the violence, two people died and 18 were arrested.
Although evidence shows that the crowd at the impromptu imbizo was not only made up of people of Zulu ethnicity, some social media users narrowed it to a “Zulu tendency”, prompting a backlash by those who were against tribalism.
