Zulu king whose remarks incited Xenophobic attacks appeals for calm

Zulu king Goodwill Zwelithini whose remarks incited Xenophobic attacks after saying "All foreigners must leave South Africa" has appealed for calm. Speaking with his subjects today April 20th in Durban, the king said his remarks were taken out of context.
"This violence directed at our brothers and sisters is shameful. My speech ... was directed at the police, calling for stricter law enforcement, but that was never reported. The public was instead given another side of my speech, which had been twisted and misrepresented." he said
He pleaded with South Africans to stop attacking foreigners.

After they hv finished killing innocent pple and destroying dere properties, he has nw decided 2 say smtin.

The King is got blood on his hands, the harm has been done already. Innocent people have been killed and the fear is very rife.
This is why traditional leaders should be very mindful of their words, this is not the 1910's.

What a shame! It's even coming from ppl dat r suppose to be role models, from ppl whom d young ones suppose to emulate, it's because we still hv ppl like dis in our societies dats y d society has neglected it's role and core responsibility as an agent of socialisation. May God in his infinite mercy help us get rid of ppl like dis in our societies.

Is it possible for him to say he doesn't care and the killings should go on? This is what happens when you don't filter what you say to the public as a leader...his speech triggered the xenophobic attacks, now he's saying the misinformed the people, where was he when the killing started? what was his reaction? These are the kind of people ICC shouldn't hesitate to get hold of!!! Evil man!!!!

Is this the modified version of his speech? Good thing he is addressing his frustrated, bloodthirsty and jealous people. Nigeria should also fix Nigeria, that way, people wouldn't have to leave and mix with all these riff riffs who only want foreigners to be socially and financial lower than them.

Better talk to your people cos most SA companies around the world will definitely suffer due to these utterances. Wonder why it took him so long to plead for calm. See how you guys have crippled your economy. By the time major investors leave your SA I wonder what will become of it.

Go and sit down, worthless king. The deed has been done, so go and applause your subjects moron.

Wilsoniyke said...

Nonsense..... I don't really blame this xenophobic attackers because we are also guilty of xenophobism in our country, when an Oba made a xenophobic speech and police officers in the Northern Nigeria watch us die in sharia crisis and election crisis nko.. We are all guilty because the whole world is insane...

Unknown said...

....and my question is;your highness,why did it have to take you this so much time to make this remark hence calling for peace? Were you waiting for them to fetch more progress(spilling of blood)in your anticipated gestures before you could come out to condemn the act? Am sure you don't even know how it feels loosing someone very dear to you in such a helpless and hurtful manner. #stopxenphobia

In this world of overly sensitive people, people/leaders should watch their words and should use decorum in their utterances. We have now seen two instances where leaders failed woefully in doing that: GMB and the zulu king.

You are such a big fool, if all South Afican Indigenes are fools, we are not in Nigeria. Looking at the degree of damage your speech has caused, you then try to re-modify what you said when you vehemently said earlier that you will not apologize for what you said and that all foreigners should leave, how does that speech concern Police using stricter measures to deal with enforcement of laws? You a gross fool and God will see to your punishment.

When a similar hate speech was issued in Lagos some were in support because they felt it was we vs them. Now everyone is against this. If the hate speech led to the killing of people in Lagos, whose side would you have been on?
If something is bad, it is bad. Learn from this and pass it on to your children instead of being stupidly blinded by trivial issues like which part of Nigeria someone is from.
