The Democratic Alliance (DA) in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) is saddened by the recent untimely death of Prince Lethukuthula Zulu, the eldest child of Zulu monarch, King Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu and Queen Sibongile MaDlamini.
The DA extends its sincere condolences to His Majesty and to the entire Zulu Royal household at this extremely difficult time, which has been made even worse following claims that the Prince’s death may be the result of criminal activity.
Crime levels across our country have reached unprecedented levels and this tragic incident shows that no one is safe. This is not the South Africa our people deserve.
The DA hopes that law enforcement authorities involved will leave no stone unturned in their investigations. Any individual who may have been involved in this heinous crime must face the full might of the law. We pray that this will take place without delay so that King Zwelithini and his family may ultimately find the closure they need.
The DA remains committed to working towards a crime-free South Africa, for all our people.
