It has been three months since Abathembu King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo and his estranged son Prince Azenathi shook hands and made peace.
But that peace seems to have fizzled into thin air in 2021.
The king on Wednesday again told Daily Dispatch that he would disown Azenathi and not allow him to live at the royal residence as long as Azenathi insisted on his mother, the king’s former wife, judge Buyiswa Majiki, staying with him.
Police were called on Tuesday night after various claims and counterclaims were made by both sides.
All parties denied they had misbehaved.
Dalindyebo instructed the Dispatch on Tuesday night to refer to Azenathi’s mother as Buyiswa Majiki, not Queen Nocollege Dalindyebo, saying they had divorced a long time ago.
When the Dispatch arrived at Bumbane on Wednesday there was a police presence outside the main gate and Azenathi and his mother were leaving the premises.
The Dispatch was allowed inside the palace and met the king, his uncle Nkosi Thanduxolo Mtirara and others, the king’s aide, Xolisa Cebiso, who was asked by the king to narrate the story.
“We were instructed by the king that all people who want to access Bumbane must first speak to the king at Nkululekweni.
“As we were working we noticed someone jumping over the perimeter fence and walking towards the palace.
“We tried to stop him and shouted at him not to trespass.
“It was Azenathi. Azenathi is banned from the palace and he should have contacted his father and sought permission to enter.
“He drew a gun, but we managed to push him out of the palace.”
Dalindyebo confirmed instructing Cebiso and others that everyone, Azenathi, should first seek permission from him to enter the palace.
