AbaThembu king boycotts Madiba funeral | News Article
Qunu - Controversial AbaThembu king and Madiba’s nephew, Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo, has refused to be drawn on why he boycotted his uncle’s funeral.

The former president was buried in Qunu on Sunday.

But Dalindyebo didn't join the thousands who attended the service.

He's become a vocal critic of President Zuma in recent months.

African national Congress (ANC)’s Keith Khoza says the king has become too preoccupied with his anger against the president.

“His people/subjects are not preoccupied with his obsession against President Zuma. The occasion was not about Zuma, it was about Madiba.”
