Mabuza helps to make Goodwill Zwelithini SA’s ‘Doctor King’

The trust‚ which has administered about 3 million hectares of land in KwaZulu-Natal since 1994‚ is reportedly working with the local chief, Mandla Mkhwanazi‚ to transfer the land to the university.

Mabuza delivered the keynote address before the king addressed the audience after receiving his doctorate.

In his speech, Mabuza said: “This conferment does not only recognise the pioneering work you do, but is a historic endorsement of what goodness of leadership and human spirit achieves, if aligned with the sole purpose of bettering the lives of ordinary people.”

The Presidency also quoted Mabuza as saying: ““In honouring our King, we are also paying a special tribute to the generation of brave African warriors who fell in different battles defending our unity and land against those who sought to dehumanise us through oppression and marginalisation.”
