Into the Mind of the Zulu Nation

As KwaZulu-Natal and parts of Gauteng erupted into political, social, and criminal violence and looting – we want to understand what’s happening on the ground.

Was this about Jacob Zuma, poverty, or criminality? What are people on the ground saying? What is happening in the Zulu royal family? How does KwaZulu-Natal recover from this mess?

We are enormously honoured to be joined by a remarkable panel:

HRH Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi MP – Traditional Prime Minister of the Zulu kingdom

HRH Prince Jongisilo Pokwana ka Menziwa – head of the Pokwana ka Menziwa royal house in kwaZangashe, and director at Vusizwe Foundation for Historical Research

Ray Mkhulisi – entrepreneur (executive chairman Nyati Health Products, and CEO Tower Uxhaso)

GG Alcock – the white Zulu raised in a mud hut in one of the most poverty stricken and violent parts of KwaZulu-Natal.

Professor Sekgothe Mokgoatšana – the Oral History Association of SA’s national executive
