Isigungu sobukhosi bakwaZulu sikhulume lokhu ngemuva kokuthi abanye abagxekayo befake ipolitiki ngesiphakamiso sokuthi iSilo uMisuzulu kaZwelithini kanye noNdlunkulu bathole umnikelo ka-R10 njalo ngenyanga. USihlalo Inkosi uZuzifa Buthelezi, indodana kaMntwana uMangosuthu Buthelezi ongasekho, ukugcizelele ukuthi lomnikelo ungowokuzithandela futhi usekelwe emlandweni wamasiko ase-Afrika. Esikhathini esedlule, bekukhokhwa “imali ye-khonza” njengophawu lokwethembeka nokubonga enkosini. UButhelezi uthe, “Akuyona into entsha le! Njalo uma abantu, osopolitiki, noma osomabhizinisi bevakashela inkosi, baletha izipho, okuhlanganisa nemali.
Asiyiqondi ingxabano ngalesi siphakamiso sika-R10. Labo abaphikisana nobukhosi- bafuna uhulumeni alawule abaholi bendabuko ngamaholo nangoxhaso lwezombusazwe. Ukuzimela kwangempela kuyabathusa”. Lesi siphakamiso, esiphakanyiswe nguSomlando wase-Afrika uSolwazi Jabulani Maphalala kanye nomsunguli we-Abantu Batho Congress uPhilani Mavundla, sithi amaZulu ahlala kuleli nasemazweni angaphandle akhiphe u-R10 ngenyanga ukuxhasa ukuzimela kwenkosi ngokwezimali. Abanye abagxeki baveze ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi inkosi idonsa kanzima ngokwezimali, kodwa uButhelezi ukuchithile lokhu, ecacisa ukuthi lo mbono awuveli enkosini noma ebukhosini.
Wanenezela ngokuthi, “Kuyamangaza ukuthi abantu banikela kanjani esontweni njalo ngamaSonto ngaphandle kokukhononda, kodwa uma kukhulunywa ngezikhulu zenkosi ezibesekayo ngokuzithandela, kuvele kube yinkinga yokuntuleka kwemisebenzi”. UMntwana uThulani Zulu naye usivikele lesi siphakamiso, wathi abeluleki, njengezifundo eziqotho, banalo lonke ilungelo lokuzwakalisa imibono yabo.
Lolu hlelo luza ngemuva kokuthi uMgcinimafa KwaZulu-Natal ememezele ukuthi ngeke ibe khona enye imali yokuxhasa umcimbi woMkhosi woMhlanga walo nyaka ngemuva kokuthi iSilo siwususe eNdlunkulu Enyokeni sawuyisa eMashobeni Palace. Inkundla yaseNyokeni, eyakhiwe ngo-R140 million, isimi ngomumo kodwa iSilo sanquma ukuyishintsha indawo.
Usomlando uMaphalala uveze ukuthi osopolitiki bavamise ukubukela phansi inkosi uma ithembele emalini kahulumeni emicimbini yamasiko, nokwenza lokhu kunikela ngokuzithandela kube yisinyathelo esibalulekile esibheke enkululekweni.
