We won’t be part of Jacob Zuma’s defence force: Zulu regiments

Zulu regiments known for their long-standing loyalty to the late Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini have distanced themselves from reports gaining traction that they have been co-opted to help thwart the arrest of former president Jacob Zuma.

The leader of the regiments, Mlandeli “Mgilija” Nhleko, said it was lies that they would soon be trekking to Nkandla in northern KZN to fortify Zuma’s home to prevent his looming arrest over his defiance of the Constitutional Court.

The rumour that Zulu regiments would join MK (uMkhonto weSizwe) veterans and others in guarding Zuma’s home began late last month by Andile Hlatswayo, the leader of Ubumbano Lokuthula movement.

Hlatswayo’s movement shot to fame when it engaged in violent protest in Ladysmith early last year and forced the ANC to temporarily shelve its mayor there.


As for the pact to guard Zuma with the regiments, Hlatswayo last month claimed that they have reached an agreement with Nhleko to provide them with back up. At that time, Nhleko denied it.
