The monarch failed to appear in court to face charges that he allegedly assaulted his son, the former acting king, Prince Azenathi.

In March last year, Dalindyebo, who is currently out of prison on parole, was arrested for a middle-of-the-night rampage that allegedly involved him wielding an axe and a machete and terrorising his son and family at the Bumbane Great Place.

Videos taken at the dwelling showed clothes, believed to belong to Azenathi, strewn on the lawn. Some members of the royal family questioned whether Dalindyebo was under the influence of alcohol or other substances after he was accused of breaking into the homestead and smashing windows. Azenathi had laid complaints of malicious damage to property and assault with police, leading to the king's arrest.

The king earlier served four years of a 12-year prison sentence for arson, kidnapping, and defeating the ends of justice and was released in December 2019. Since his release, the king has been staying at his Nkululekweni private residence in Mthatha, while Azenathi has continued to occupy the Bumbane Great Place, 50km outside Mthatha.

This behavior invites disrepect to monarch which is struggling to find its relevance in the society.

Islima kabi le Nkosi le hayi!🚶‍♂️

I don't believe this. Why is it easier for justice system to issue a warrant of arrest for Monarch but, for former president is very very hard, or our justice system is undermining our Manarch & fear ex president. If we are all equal in the eyes of the LAW, apply it even to JZ.

King Buyeleje

But no arrest warrant for Zuma?

Is Kng Buyelakaya the Xhosa version of Jacob Zuma

Dear Xhosas everywhere, let's mobilize to divorce our own King, as he only brings shame to our Xhosa nation?

This King is just like Jacob Zuma, an outlaw!
