At the time, Kairo was just three years old.The tweet read: “Myself and my father [Tony Forbes] both want Kairo to play tennis, be the next Serena Williams or whatever … But unfortunately, her mom plays her too much house music … and her Dad is DI MOLTI TALENTED… so you know where she’s gonna end up.”

Thousands were killed in clashes between supporters of the two parties in the early 1990s.

But he was later welcomed back into the fold, serving as President Nelson Mandela’s minister of home affairs.

Chief Buthelezi was a shrewd but controversial politician, who disagreed with the ANC’s tactics of armed action against white-minority rule and trod a moderate path as leader of an ethnic-Zulu homeland.

He was opposed to international sanctions on South Africa, arguing that they would only harm the country’s black majority.During the clashes in the early 1990s, Nelson Mandela’s ANC accused him of collaborating with the white-minority government.

Some feared the violence could lead to a civil war and derail the transition to democracy which saw Mandela become president in 1994.

Many believed that members of the apartheid security forces were working with the Inkatha movement to fight the ANC but Buthelezi always denied that.

President Cyril Ramaphosa led tributes, describing Chief Buthelezi as a “formidable leader”.

He said he had “played a significant role in our country’s history for seven decades”.

The president added: “Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi has been an outstanding leader in the political and cultural life of our nation, including the ebbs and flows of our liberation struggle, the transition which secured our freedom in 1994 and our democratic dispensation.”

He said Chief Buthelezi had died in the early hours of Saturday, two weeks after celebrating his 95th birthday.

He was prime minister of KwaZulu, the Zulu homeland, and in 1975 founded the Inkatha Freedom Party, a Zulu political and cultural movement. He stepped down as party leader in 2019 after 44 years at its helm.

To comprehend the profound significance of his life and legacy, it is essential to delve into his remarkable journey and the indelible impact he left on the nation.

Mangosuthu Buthelezi’s life began on August 27, 1928, in the rural heartlands of South Africa. He was born into the Zulu royal family as the son of Chief Mathole Buthelezi and Princess Magogo kaDinuzulu. His heritage was steeped in rich Zulu tradition and culture, laying the foundation for his deep-rooted connection to his people.

Buthelezi’s early education took place at the Impumalanga Primary School, and he subsequently attended Adams College, a missionary institution that played a pivotal role in shaping his worldview. His thirst for knowledge and commitment to education saw him later enrolling at the University of Fort Hare, a prestigious institution known for producing prominent African leaders.

However, his academic pursuits were interrupted when he was called upon to fulfill his traditional and familial responsibilities. In 1948, following the passing of his father, Buthelezi was thrust into leadership as the Chief of the Buthelezi Clan.
