A King's Triute
(BY KING ZWELITHINI TO HIS SUBJECTS AND FAMILY)

In my 30 years, I have seen and experienced the love of my subjects.  My people have been great in their stoic support and encouragement and my greatest inspiration now comes from the contented looks on the faces of my subjects when I have successfully helped them resolve their problems.

Thankfully, God has also blessed the Zulu Royal House with sons and daughters who are very obedient and who have a very high level of respect for me.  That is why people have recently shown an interest in marrying my daughters. 

I feel privileged that God has kept me to the point where I could see my daughters marry.  Some of the previous kings did not get to see their children marry.  Perhaps God has intended for me to bring together different nations through these marriages.

These forthcoming marriages – of Princesses Nandi and Ntando – have been joyously supported by everybody within the family.  I am now looking forward to these weddings as much as I cherish the love and prayers of every member of my family and each of my subjects.
