The KZN government says it will stand with the royal house throughout the three month of mourning before the announcement of the new Zulu king.

Durban - Reacting to news from the Zulu monarchy that it would go into three months of mourning and thereafter deal with the issue of succession, the KZN government says it will stand with the royal house throughout the process.

Although the Zulu monarchy would be mourning for the aforesaid period, Buthelezi said the late King Goodwill Zwelithini never wanted people to starve to death while mourning him. As such, the Zulu nation would from today be allowed to till the soil - a practice that had not been allowed for the past two weeks.

Zikalala conveyed his gratitude to mourners who sent messages of condolences when the 72-year-old monarch passed away on March 12.“On behalf of government and the people of KwaZulu Natal, we take the opportunity to thank all individuals and organisations from South Africa and the rest of the world who, in person and in messages, have conveyed their own sense of loss at the passing of His Majesty and sent words of comfort to the royal family and the people of KwaZulu-Natal.

Meanwhile, in honour of the late king, the KZN legislature, which is located in Pietermaritzburg, will hold a special sitting today. The late king had the special honour of opening the legislature a day before the premier gave his state of the province address.
