The Zulu royal household has been allocated a budget of R66.1m — R5m less than last year, KwaZulu-Natal premier Sihle Zikalala announced on Thursday.

the opening of the provincial house of traditional leaders.

“This will be the first coronation in a long time and will be a fitting tribute to His Majesty King Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu, who would have reached 50 years on the throne this year. As KwaZulu-Natal we stand ready to provide the necessary support to the royal family during this period and beyond.” The unemployment rate in the province, according to Zikalala, is “very high” when measured using the expanded definition, including discouraged jobseekers at 38.9%.

In response to dismal economic growth due to Covid-19, Zikalala said the government has adopted the recovery and transformation plan which should push the economy out of the woods, but said the threat of a third wave of infections remains real.

Yeah neh we are fucked

Zulu think they are the only blacks who are humans but God panished them by giving them small 🍆 .their women dump them for men from other tribes and that is hurting them alot bcoz is something they can change . Coming to budget it is very nonsensical .KZN villages dont hve water

That's insane. What's so special about the Zulu kingdom? Why is it costing us so much compared to other kingdoms? Madness!

That's for KZN, as long as his subject doesn't see anything wrong I am fine.

Mxm for what exactly?

Mxm. Sies. Our money going to waste

ANC buying votes

that is a lot of money especially at this time when we are facing a dark pandemic. I think the most important question is to ask what does that money get spent on

I wonder how much is Queen Mjaji is getting.

Do you know how it feels to earn seven thousand dollars a-week after a long time for looking for a work? I can't thank you enough for your kindness🖤 sandyprech

Imali encane kanje, kwiSilo samabandla ONKE!

Why do taxpayers have to pay for this and the poorest of the poor get even less to uplift them. Why do the Zulu nation not contibute.
