As we enter another day sure to end in the bloodshed of foreigners we brought you THIS earlier, a breakdown of exactly why these xenophobic attacks are happening according to an expert on such matters. We did give mention to the Zulu leader King Goodwill Zwelithini, and some disparaging comments he made last month on the matter.

Now the king and his spokespeople have claimed that his words were misinterpreted and he has been unduly criticised as a result. The good folk at eNCA have stepped up to the plate:

…we decided to translate exactly what the King said when he spoke in Pongola last month.

Please note this is a direct translation, and there are some references to Zulu idioms which we have left as they are.

This extract from the speech was translated with the assistance of Zulu academics.

Now you will have to click the image below to listen to Goodwill (oh, the irony) mouthing off. Pay special attention to his powerful ending. Shades of the radio broadcasts shortly before the Rwandan genocides of 1994 me thinks…
