Durban – The funeral of the late founder and President Emeritus of Inkatha Freedom Party and Traditional Prime Minister of the Zulu Nation, Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi will take place on Friday, (15th September).
“The announcement was made by the family following a short meeting this afternoon,” Head of Provincial Government Communication Bongi Gwala said on Sunday.
“The Premier of KwaZulu-Natal Nomusa Dube-Ncube has confirmed that there is ongoing communication with the Presidency on the funeral arrangements.
“The Premier stated that the funeral service and the associated ceremonial logistics will be communicated in due course. Prince Buthelezi passed away on Saturday morning.”
In their quest to grieve the sad passing of Prince Buthelezi in private, while accommodating mourners who are streaming in to pay their respects, the family has set up a marquee at the entrance of the homestead, where a daily service was held at 17:00.
“The family has thanked South Africans from all walks of life for the outpouring of messages of condolences as they mourn the sad passing of the family head,” said Gwala.
