Zulu king Goodwill Zwelithini whose remarks incited
Xenophobic attacks after saying “All foreigners must leave South Africa”
has appealed for calm. Speaking with his subjects yesterday April 20th in
Durban, the king said his remarks were taken out of context.
“This violence directed at our brothers and
sisters is shameful. My speech … was directed at the police, calling
for stricter law enforcement, but that was never reported. The public
was instead given another side of my speech, which had been twisted and
misrepresented.” he said
He pleaded with South Africans to stop attacking foreigners.
