South Africans discuss the King and politics

Netizens shared their views on what they believed was the King involving himself in politics.

Mao said:

"While I agree that the ANC has been disrespectful to King Misuzulu, he himself contributed to that. His behaviour has not befitted the throne, and he showed disrespect to it."

Considered View said:

"Maybe this is a blessing in disguise for others to see the other side of the king."

VOTEANC2024 said:

"A king that divides his people is useless."

Free Congo DR, Stop The Genocide said:

"The ANC will not govern KZN after next week."

Mluleki Mtshiza said:

"He must not play politics; otherwise, it won't end well for him."
