We refute their actions with the contempt it deserves and wish to state clearly that these so called meetings were never authorised or sanctioned by any legitimate Royal family member.” Wrote the Faku Royal house.
They further firm view that they are a group of individuals who don’t have the best interest for amaMpondo. We wish to unequivocally state clearly and clarify that there is no Acting King of amaMpondo by the name of Daluxolo Dumelani Sigcau.” They wrote in their press release.
In the press this family calls themselves the ‘Isilili sobuKumkani bamaMpondo’ and they sate that the group that calls themselves the ‘AmaFaku Royal Family‘ are illegitimate and are misleading the AmaMpondo nation. “We further wish to state that the statements by memebers of this group are replete with factual inaccuracies and defamatory statements concerning the royal family.”
Moreover the press release clearly stated this royal family’s attitude towards the organizers of the Imbizo that was held at Lusikisiki college last month. They said, “The less said about Dumelani Sigcau and his son Mbasa Sigcau, the so called Chairperson Soyiso Cetywayo, organiser as informed Mzwandile Marhaqane the better.
However for the sake of completeness we wish to state that if one may ask of the above mentioned people of their standing in the family in terms of custom, one may be shocked to know that they have no business on AmaMpondo royal affairs, let alone on the issues pertaining to Kingship, governance, succession including appointment of regents.
We call upon amaMpondo to exercise caution when dealing with such individuals.
We call for restraint, peace and calmness.”
