Royal Zulu dwells in terror!
Zulu royal lives in fear!
Ntombenhle Joyful Zuma Tembe, KING Misuzulu's gogo, is terrified.
She claimed that ever since King Misuzulu recommended her for a place on the Ingonyama Trust Board, she had been threatened and intimidated.
"I was not formally nominated by the king to be one of the new board members of the Ingonyama Trust. Simply put, it was a proposal. I instantly turned down the king's nomination because of the strife within the royal family. But ever since that day, I've been threatened and bullied.She said she didn’t open a case but would discuss
the matter with the king.
“While all of this was happening I received a call from Prince Mthokozisi. It was a brief but disturbing call. He accused me of bad mouthing him but he would not explain anything further. I'm scared because my life is in danger and I tried to report this to the king but I could not get hold of him,” she said, adding that she recorded the call.On the recording, a person who identifies himself as Prince Mthokozisi Mahlobo can be heard saying:
“You must know that I know everything you said about me. You are really doing a great job. May God
bless you. Thank you, bye.” Prince Mthokozisi, who's the king's right-hand man and cousin, denied it was him on the call or that he had anything to do with the threats the gogo was
receiving.“I know gogo Ntombenhle and from time to time we do talk. I have no problem with her. I’m aware of this but I am not the one threatening her. I have no idea who’s behind the threats. I also know that there are people who are trying to tarnish my name because I am close to the king. "A lot of people are not happy that I always protect the king. But I will find and deal with those who aretarnishing my name.The king's personal aide, Thami Zulu, stated: "The king would have informed me if Ntombenhle was a board member of the Ingonyama Trust. Nobody has ever supplied her name, thus how this is even possible is unknown. However, the threats she is complaining about are unknown to the king.
