Zulu King Godwill Zwelithi's utterances on March 23rd
launched the Zenophobic attacks in South Africa and he had
refused to apologize, even after finding out that his people
have maimed, killed and destroyed businesses belonging to
black foreigners. He's still insisting that foreigners should go
back to their countries but tried to save face by saying
attacking the foreigners is not how to chase them away. He
wants the government to do it legally.
During a speech in last month, Zwelithini called for the
deportation of foreign nationals living in the country, saying
it was unacceptable locals were being made to compete with
people from other countries for the few economic
opportunities available. King Zwelithi said "foreigners must
pack their bags and go home".
His three major complaints and why he wanted foreigners to go were;
1. SA traders in the townships said they could not compete with the prices that foreign-owned businesses were selling their products.
2; foreigners involved in crime.
3. Lack of respect shown by foreigners to locals.
Addressing Pongolo community members during a moral
regeneration even, Zwelithini accused government of failing
to protect locals from the “influx of foreign nationals”.He
said;
“Most government leaders do not want to speak out on
this matter because they are scared of losing votes. As
the king of the Zulu nation, I cannot tolerate a situation
where we are being led by leaders with no views
whatsoever. “We are requesting those who come from outside to please go back to their countries. The fact that there were countries that played a role in the country’s struggle for liberation should not be used as an excuse to create a situation where foreigners are allowed to inconvenience locals. I know you were in their countries during the struggle for liberation. But the fact of the matter is you did not set up businesses in their countries,” he said.
His comments were widely condemned with the SA DA
describing it “highly irresponsible' 'Particularly given the
recent spate of xenophobic attacks in South Africa, he
should do the right thing – retract and apologise,”
He didn't and his spokesman went on record to say the King
had nothing to apologize for, that he meant every word he
said.“I think the people who’re complaining are
misinterpreting his speech. He didn’t say foreigners must
be attacked or harassed. The king was talking about
foreigners who are here illegally. Some are involved in
serious crimes like drug and human trafficking. We don’t
need such people in our country so the king is right.” His
spokesman said
After the killing spread across different cities, the king has
relented a little and is planning to speak to his people this
Monday in an effort to quell the attacks. He's expected to
address the public directly and clarify his statement and ask
his people to stop the violence which his words started.
