Posted on March 12, 2021 by Francois Francois Redelinghuys

The Solidarity Movement today expressed its sincere condolences towards the Zulu royal family and the Zulu community after it was announced that His Majesty King Goodwill Zwelithini passed away this morning.

According to Flip Buys, chairperson of the Solidarity Movement, the Movement and AfriForum in particular maintained good relationships with the royal family in order to achieve mutual recognition and respect between different cultural communities in South Africa.

According to Buys, King Zwelithini played a significant role in the cultural expression and identity of the Zulu community, and continually also showed respect for other cultural communities in a diverse country.

“As a Movement we are saddened to hear of the death of King Zwelithini. The country and the Zulu people in particular are poorer because of his death,” Buys said.

Die Solidariteit Beweging het vandag sy innige simpatie teenoor die Zoeloes se koninklike familie en die Zoeloe-gemeenskap as ŉ geheel betuig nadat dit bekend geword het dat Sy Majesteit Koning Goodwill Zwelithini vanoggend oorlede is.

Volgens Flip Buys, voorsitter van die Solidariteit Beweging, het die Beweging, en AfriForum in die besonder, goeie verhoudings met die koninklike familie gehandhaaf om sodoende wedersydse erkenning en respek tussen verskillende kultuurgemeenskappe in Suid-Afrika te bewerkstellig.

Volgens Buys het koning Zwelithini ŉ beduidende rol in die kulturele uitlewing en identiteit van die Zoeloes gespeel en deurentyd ook respek teenoor ander kultuurgemeenskappe in ŉ diverse land betoon.

“Dit is vir ons as Beweging hartseer om van die afsterwe van koning Zwelithini te verneem. Die land en die Zoeloe-gemeenskap in die besonder is armer weens sy afsterwe,” het Buys gesê.
