Condolences Message- On the passing of His Royal Majesty King Mpendulo Zwelonke Sigcawu, The AmaXhosa King
The Royal Kingdom of uMthwakazi is deeply saddened to learn about the passing away of His Royal Majesty, King Mpendulo Zwelonke Sigcawu on the 14th of November 2019.
On this sad occasion, on behalf of the people of uMthwakazi and my family we would like to express our deepest condolences to all members of the Royal Family, AmaXhosa, the Traditional institution, and the people of South Africa.
His Majesty was a remarkable King, who dedicated his entire life to the betterment of the country, the people of South Africa, and the wellbeing of his tribes without discrimination as to their status, ethnicity or religious persuasion.
To bring peace and prosperity to the people of South Africa, His Majesty had devoted his life and worked tirelessly for improvement of life of the common people. He has been the pillar of the Traditional institution and the Restoration of the Traditional leadership in Africa.
There is no doubt that his Majesty’s wisdom and devotion were an enduring source of strength and comfort for the people in the Kingdom and generally Africa.
His presence on our Traditional commemorations in Matabeleland marked a turning point in our revival strides of our Kingdom in 2013. We shall forever remember him.
His Majesty’s wise leadership and graciousness will be remembered by the Royal Kingdom of UMthwakazi forever, especially with regard to the fact that thousands of innocent Mthwakazi peoples are still able to find refuge and security, and over a million have been able to find decent work and care in South Africa.
May his Soul Rest in peace.
HRM King Mzilikazi II (Stanley Raphael Khumalo)
The Royal Kingdom of uMthwakazi
