Amabutho rebellion ‘targeted Ramaphosa’
THE actions of Zulu warriors at the funeral of the late King Goodwill Zwelithini, which forced the police to whisk away President Cyril Ramaphosa through the back door for safety reasons, was meant to “embarrass” and send warning signs to him that he was not welcome in KwaZulu-Natal until he smoked the peace pipe with former president Jacob Zuma, sources said.
The police were this week forced to cut the mesh wire fence of the KwaKhethomthandayo Royal Palace to make way for Ramaphosa’s motorcade after angry Zulu, charged towards the venue of King Zwelithini’s memorial service in protest against the decision to deny them access to the proceedings for Covid-19 lockdown regulations reasons.
