Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>The Zulu royal family has rejected claims by Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi that King Misuzulu kaZwelithini was hospitalised in Eswatini following suspected poisoning.<\/b><\/p>\n

Buthelezi said in a statement on Saturday night that the king was in hospital and further claimed that one of His Majesty\u2019s Senior Induna Douglas Xaba, who worked closely with the king had died suddenly of suspected poisoning.<\/p>\n

However, a statement released by Misuzulu\u2019s newly-appointed Spokesperson, Prince Africa Zulu, said the monarch was in a \u2018perfect condition\u2019 and was not in hospital. Prince Africa dimmed the reports as defamatory and baseless.<\/p>\n

He, however, confirmed Xaba\u2019s death. Buthelezi said in the statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is with great concern that I have received news from honourable Prince Vumile, brother to his Majesty King Mswati III, that his Majesty King Misuzulu kaZwelithini is being treated in a hospital in Eswatini, having taken ill earlier today. When His Majesty began to feel unwell, he suspected that he too may have been poisoned. He immediately sought out medical treatment in Eswatini. I am informed that His Majesty felt uncomfortable seeking treatment in SA, as his parents had both received treatment in SA and subsequently died,\u201d said Buthelezi.<\/p>\n

Worth noting is that this is not the first occasion such tactics have been mobilised; similar activities were done during His Majesty\u2019s recent visit to Eswatini. The motives were unclear at this stage, however, the king is said to remain cognisant that the political environment is ripe due to the approaching cycle of political elections.<\/p>\n

King Misuzulu\u2019s office added that he frequently pays courtesy visits to Eswatini to visit his uncle, King Mswati.<\/p>\n
