Video of Zuma & AmaButho leader who died Look what was spotted on Msholozi that sparked debate

Zihogo Maguzumela Nhleko, also known as Mgilija, the previous chief of Zulu regiments, died on Monday evening at his homeland in Nongoma, Kwa-Zulu Natal. “It is with astonishment and sorrow that we learn of the death of Ubab Mgilija,” stated Injeje Yabanguni, a cultural organization located in KwaZulu-Natal. We feel bereft of a zealous defender of Zulu culture and the preservation of Africanism.”

He was the commander of the Zulu regiments until his dismissal in July 2021, when the AmaZulu royal house accused him of bringing Amabutho to Nkandla to defend former President Jacob Zuma against his detention even without the royal house’s permission.

Mgilija was the long-serving commander-general of Amabutho kaZulu and was renowned as a hard traditionalist who took no prisoners (AmaZulu regiments). He served the late monarch as a faithful servant and a warrior for more than two decades. When he led throngs of Amabutho to retrieve the mortal bones of the late AmaZulu ruler, who had passed away in Durban’s Chief Albert Luthuli Hospital, he gained unexpected popularity and public admiration.See the source image

Amabutho had to travel about 300 kilometers from the king’s royal castle of KwaKhethomthandayo in KwaNongoma, in northern KwaZulu-Natal, to Durban in order to follow Ama- Zulu tradition and cultural beliefs. Amabutho had to be the one to see and accept the king’s remains before he could be taken to his residence, as per customary standards and traditions.

Duduzile Zuma, the daughter of Jacob Zuma, has shown how deeply she is affected by the death of the AmaButho leader. She went out on social media to express her feelings, by posting a video that shows the leader is accompanied by the former president Jacob Zuma. In this video, these two leaders are expressing and enjoying their culture. Jacob Zuma can be spotted carrying a shield and what looks like a spear.

In the comment section, people were worried about Jacob Zuma not wearing a mask at all. This is totally unacceptable, especially coming from a leader in this country. He should lead by example see the source image
