AmaZulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini has publicly clarified the status of Arnold Nododile, his former Private Secretary, amidst conflicting announcements regarding Nododile's dismissal. During a meeting attended by Reverend Thulasizwe Buthelezi and other royal family members, the king emphasized that Nododile remains an integral part of royal duties, stating, “Ndamase is not fired.” Despite Buthelezi's earlier announcement of Nododile's removal, he has continued to fulfill his responsibilities at Mashobeni palace and participated in significant meetings, including one with KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thamsanqa Ntuli. The king's comments raised questions about the legitimacy of Buthelezi's statement regarding the closure of the king’s Private Office, which Nododile led. Additionally, changes in the royal structure were announced, including the promotion of inkosi Malusi Zondi and Prince Africa Zulu to new roles, although specifics were not disclosed. The situation hints at ongoing power struggles within the royal council, particularly concerning access to the king and decision-making processes.
