AGAIN, the Zulu Palace was shrouded in a dark cloud following the kneeling of Prince Gcinabani Thembisile “Sister Eunice” Zulu (78), from Zibindini.
Prince Gcinabani died on Saturday, the same day another Zulu Royal Prince, Gibizizwe Zulu (67), from Suthu was buried.
The King’s spokesperson, Prince Thulani of Gqikazi Zulu, expressed concern about the succession of royal children to kneel.
“You King, I am ashamed that I keep reporting sad and bad news. The King of Heaven has once again been beset by a dark cloud. In the name of the King of all the churches, and in the name of the King and the whole nation, we say that no evil has fallen, you King.”
Prince Thulani described Prince Gcinabani as a person who had a gentle heart and was devoted to faith.
Prince Thulani said the Prince will be buried on Saturday.
“The funeral will take place in Kuthoksi kwe Zibindi, Shoba, Filidi. May his soul rest in peace.”
Prince Gibizizwe was hidden on Saturday, in Suthu.
Prince Gibizizwe was close to Zwelithini’s King Misuzulu Sinqobile, and he was the one who prayed for Mbube to his father-in-law at Myeni.
Prince Thulani said the death of children, especially those who are the fathers of Ngonyama, is interfering with Mbube’s work.
“We know that the Ntwana, as they are the fathers of the King, are the ones he relies on as he is sitting on the throne, let him look around and see that his fathers are there, which makes him stable. But this is like having his wings taken away from him to fly.”
There are many other children who are pillars in the Kingdom of Zulu who have bowed down in the past years.
Among those who knelt last year were Prince uHenrietta Zulu and His Royal Highness Thoko Mantombela Zulu’s ex-consort, Prince Mcwayizeni Zulu.
