AmaZulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini has claimed the AmaZulu nation is under threat because of the government, but the state has dismissed this.

Misuzulu addressed traditional leaders at KwaZulu-Natal’s old legislature building in Ulundi on Thursday, where he sought to drum up support for his fight to control the Ingonyama Trust.

He said he would summon Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development Minister Thoko Didiza to explain “why the government was taking away power from the amakhosi [chiefs]”.
