Inkosi Mshazi Nzuza explains that he was informed by induna Ngelemu Mdlalose that a large group of people, including Nomzamo, had invaded Queen Nandi’s grave..

“Mdlalose wanted to know if I knew or had authorised their visit. But I was also shocked and disturbed because I had no knowledge of the visit.”

“In our customary law, this is a punishable offence. Any guest or visitor in the area must report to the local induna and myself as a chief. But this was not the case. They simply went straight to the gravesite. We still don’t know why,” said Mshazi.

Before anything could be done, a big fight erupted because no one had informed the King that they were coming to Queen Nandi’s gravesite. Image via Instagram
“I have no doubt that most of them know and understand our protocols and traditions, but they chose to overlook them. They should have asked for permission.”

Induna Mdlalose told Daily Sun that he was told that hey would be visiting Queen Nandi’s grave, “but I took that information as gossip because I had not been informed about it. But they came with buses and cars. I followed them until they stopped at the gravesite.”
