The Zulu Royal House vehemently denied media and social media reports suggesting that His Majesty King Misuzulu kaZwelithini has called on every Zulu person to contribute R10 per month towards the coffers of the Zulu Nation.
In a statement to NewsSA on Wednesday evening, the King’s spokesperson, Prince Thulani Zulu, clarified that the alleged donation proposal was never discussed, endorsed, or authorised by either His Majesty, nor the King’s Council, the Zulu Kingdom Executive, nor any recognised structure of the Royal House.
Zulu said His Majesty has no knowledge of such a proposal. This notion did not originate from nor was it authorised by His Majesty the King.
“The Royal House emphasised that all official decisions, initiatives or announcements are exclusively conveyed by the Private Office of His Majesty through Prince Thulani Zulu, who serves as a spokesperson for both the King and the Royal House,” he said.
The statement urged the public and the media to treat any communication outside these official channels as unauthorised and without authority,” Zulu said.
Only the King’s Private Office authorised
He said the Royal Office also cautioned against the circulation of unverified claims, stressing that those who do so risk causing confusion, undermining the dignity of the Monarchy and eroding the trust of the Zulu people. The prince said responsible reporting demands that all matters relating to His Majesty or the Zulu Kingdom be confirmed directly with the authorised Spokesperson.
“His Majesty has not authorised any donation campaign of the kind being reported; all official initiatives will be formally announced by the Private Office of His Majesty. Media and the public are urged to verify all information directly with our office before publication or broadcast,” concluded Prince Zulu .-@NewsSA_Online
