Zulu King Calls for an End to Violence and to Restore Zulu Dignity

SOUTH AFRICA
  • Zulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini calls for an end to violent protests and appeals for peace. He says the Zulu nation must restore its dignity
  • This comment from the Zulu King is extremely important, given the majority of the regions involved in looting and violence are predominantly inhabited by Zulus (KZN)
  • Tribalism remains an important social dynamic in SA society and condemnation from the top will not be fully dismissed
  • Many rioters protesting under the auspices of protecting a key historic Zulu figure in Zuma will be affected by this comment and although it is hard to say the exact effect these comments will have, they're important nonetheless
