Durban – King Goodwill Zwelithini has issued a set of instructions to traditional leaders on the processes to follow when foreigners want to settle in their areas.
The king called on traditional leaders to make sure that foreigners had legal documents that allowed them to be in the country.
He said foreigners who wanted to settle on land controlled by the Ingonyama Trust should also be introduced to him in the company of the ambassadors of their countries.
The king was addressing traditional leaders from across the province during the opening of the House of Traditional Leaders in Ulundi on Thursday.
Traditional leaders from other provinces also attended.
“Once the foreigners are introduced to you, there should be a way of bringing them to the royal palace. They should be accompanied by ambassadors from their countries,” King Zwelithini said.
He would soon meet community safety and liaison MEC Willies Mchunu to talk about the formation of the KwaZulu-Natal Public Peace Process, which he announced during a peace imbizo at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, in Durban, on April 20.
“I wish this peace agreement to be signed by every affected country (whose citizens are foreigners in the country).
“I need every traditional leader to have personal details of foreigners living under their territories.”
He said locals who wanted to accommodate foreigners should get permission from a traditional leader. In addition:
- The traditional leader should ensure that the foreigner had the right documents to be in the country and double check the authenticity of those documents.
- Once the traditional leader was satisfied with the documents’ authenticity, he should go to a police station and Home Affairs office to get a stamp, which would allow the foreigner to settle in an area and ensure the terms of the arrangement were not breached.
- The municipalities, Home Affairs and police should ensure that foreigners who wanted to run a business did so under strict guidelines.
- The Ingonyama Trust Board should provide guidelines on allocating land to foreigners.
- Traditional leaders should attend a workshop on laws governing foreigners.
- The various levels of the government should come up with guidelines before June 25.
The king also asked Premier Senzo Mchunu to organise a meeting between himself, traditional leaders, the government and ambassadors to talk about the xenophobic attacks, illegal immigrants and the relationship between KwaZulu-Natal and affected countries.
“I also appeal to (Home Affairs) Minister (Malusi) Gigaba (State Security Minister David) Mahlobo and (Police Minister Nathi) Nhleko to assist with training of traditional leaders on how to accommodate foreign nationals,” he said.
“I say this because I know that foreign nationals in any country are controlled under international laws. We need to understand the details of these laws.”
King Zwelithini said this would help foreigners and locals to live in harmony and understand each other’s culture.
“On the other hand, we are going to teach foreigners about our culture and way of life.”
He again denied having called on foreigners to pack their belongings and leave South Africa during a speech in Pongola in March. It was widely reported that he said that foreigners were changing the country’s culture and were taking over the local economy.
The SA Human Rights Commission is investigating complaints, including that the Pongola speech constituted hate speech and violation of the right to life.

Whatever this King is smoking should be out lawed!!!
It’s his land, let him decide who he wants to live with and how.
Sounds like the NAZI plan hatched by Hitler to put Jews in to controlled camps.
I agree with you. Most likely it must be GOAT droppings
I agree with you. It must be GOAT droppings
10 years ago a prophetess said the situation in South Africa is poing to deteriorate further.If you are a foreigner in South Africa ,prepare for bad days ahead.
I think the plan is incomplete, it hasnt stated at which stage the BLACK foreigners get necklaced (burnt with a tyre around the neck), I guess its the last stage.
This imbecilic man has probably been watching too many WWII documentaries on History Channel; who is he calling “foreigners” doesn’t RSA have a Home Affairs Dept. do deal with this…next he will be asking “foreigners” to wear armbands like the Jews did under the Nazis.
No African is a foreigner in Africa…those borders were drawn by the colonists..if you do like them roll over and die!!
Of my bucket list for places to visit, South Africa is not one of them. I heard tales of violence and robbery from my brother who used to do business in South Africa and was repulsed by it all. I will never visit South Africa not even to make a stop over in one of their airports en route to Zambia. This sorry excuse of a king thinks every one is clamoring to visit his country. Guess what Nelson Mandela is dead. No one is interested in South Africa like that any more!
Look at how ridiculous a traditional ruler looks in foreign regalia!
Damm foo1!
South African contribution to global lexicon:
Apartheid- irrational hatred of the white man for the black man
Xenophobia – irrational hatred of the previously disadvantaged black man for the black man
Vuvuzela – loud mouthed irrational village chief with xenophobic tendencies and nonsensical utterances.
SA must cage this neo-nazi or he will bring grief to the country.
King are you sure you have read the constitution
? What you saying
I thought SA was a republic and not a kingdom, why would a Chief request ambassadors to go and introduce foreign nationals to him. Totally absurd.
Not to talk about how many trips each ambassador is gonna make to that king introducing this one and that one…..he he he he poverty iliko bad.
Nichisilu chimuntu ichi, I guess sometimes guilty people who are too proud to apologise end up uttering nonsense because of maswabi. He now wants to be introduced to the “lice” he was referring to
I am of the view that even if South Africa gives the impression of being orderly and an example of emerging democracy it is sliding back into unknown governance system. I say that because the King is hijacking the role of home affairs ministry. Ambassadors represent countries in other countries on bilateral terms. This is usurpation of state powers by kings or chiefdoms. I don’t know how South Africa is organized. It seems kings are more powerful and cannot be corrected. South Africa has a capable and well equipped police service and home affairs ministry running the immigration. What is
on?
Ernest, isn’t the core problem the relationship between a modern democratic dispensation and an active and, in my view, archaic order of the King? Europe had similar problems until absolute monarchs were abolished or made ceremonial. I am of the opinion that there is a deeper problem not only in South Africa but the whole of Africa about what should be the powers and role of these chiefs and Kings in democratic republics.
@Ernest, this just Farted from his mouth. He’s just shown me of how much a constructive delusional human he is. South Africa has an immigration system and laws for everyone to follow including legal immigrants. So this king show just hang himself. He’s a stupid *****.
Well it is clear that there are tougher times ahead for foreigners in SA. This is simply a wake up call for those planning to end in SA. Badwill is not up to any good, he wants to make sure there are as less foreigners on SA land as possible. The conditions he has set up are tricky especially that now we are seeing a situation were parallel immigration systems are being introduced. Foreigners watch out and better off stay away from those traditional thugs!
@shaka zulu
Yaipa bola mu South Africa….i think being a foreigner in south africa won’t be easy. I was thinking of relocating to RSA but now am having second thoughts
This Nkosi Goodwill needs Psychiatric treatment, I think, or Apartheid messed his Brain so much, it needs panel beating back to sanity.
All hes talking about is a hangover from the Racist South African regime, that used to control people in a similar manner, remember the “Chitupa & Pass laws” system???
Brother is it Goodwill, Badwill or illwill
This chief should not mobilise other chiefs to attain recognition in Africa, the world at large days of chief being superial and his impis are long gone. Thats why their are boarders and right documentations are given before crossing.
A mere chief with such authority? Pathetic! That is enugh evidence that he has the power to authorise xenophobic attacks. This culture of such powerful chiefs in Africa in the 21st century is regrettable. What a constitutional failure!
when Guy Scot called South Africans historically backwards, you called him all sorts of names. These babarians are indeed historically backwards. Their economy is still managing because the Afrikaner left it in auto pilot. But then even auto pilot mode at times needs manual manupilation and boy, can you see it plumeting into kwazulu hills!!! They have a president who has faced charges from rape, corruption and abuse of office by letting his Indian friends land at a military airport. You have a president erecting a US$22 million village and a king who parasites on poor people to the tune of US$6 million a year and blames poverty among his subjects on foreigners whose only crime is to work hard and not scronge on government.
Pastures can be made green in your own country not outside your home land..
BA King Badwell.. keep your South Africa…my opinion is that you Safafricanns think you are too special..keep it my dear but when you are in my country send me a what’s up …. so I know you are within…
This “king” must be smoking something terrible. He must be bundled to the Hague before something terrible happens in South Africa.
Foreigners to be introduced to him by ambassadors who does he think he is.
SA has never been on my shortlist of go-to places, especially with respect to long term stay. I watched in awe as troops of professionals ignored other viable destinations for this so-called economic haven. Now for once my friends will take a glance my direction where we against all odds are better off than in SA.
Zambia, Mozambique, Namibia, and Angola are places to be.
Out West, Nigeria and Ghana.
Safafrica (lol) is quickly losing its glory.
Dream on. Nigeria expelled over 2 million migrants in 1985. They were rounded up and put in stadiums and given 7 days to get of Nigeria. Ask Ghanians about the “Ghana Must Go” campaign in which 700 000 Ghanians were booted out of Nigeria! Zambians can be so naive and ignorant!
What’s so special about living in South Africa anyway? There are so many other beautiful places in the world with friendlier immigraion laws.
Who wants to settle in a place where one is regarded inferior and treated as a second class citizen in the eyes of the law? If foreigners are not given a chance to integrate, it means they are outlaws and the system condones their persecution.
Its tough there, you are accused of stealing their women and jobs, hated by blacks because of being an African, hated by whites because of being black, attacked by criminals because you have assets, so much hate. So glad I dont live there. Donald Trumps quote in 2013 summed up S.A best.
The King of the Zulus is Nitwit
The King of the Zulus is Nitwit
The King of the Zulus is Nitwit
A Nitwit is a King of the Zulus
So true, hated for being educated, hated for speaking English, hated for associating with whites, hated for hard working, hated for not wanting to learn their language, hated for listening to other African music, hated for watching CNN . I cant wait to get out. I have 12 South African university graduates working under me who dont know where Zambia is in relation to RSA!!! Some think its a french speaking country next to Ghana!!! The list goes on. And they wonder why companies prefer to employ foreigners. These babarians spend half of their lives toy toying for this or that. It is always give, give me, give me
Coming back home soon… Zambia please welcome me..let me eat kalembula and chibwabwa in peace
I sincerely believe that aba Ngoni/Zulu tabakwata amano, it’s the truth. Every time Zwelitini opens his trap garbage pops out. Overwhelming evidence of unbelivable ukubulwa amano is piling up very fast.
The future is bleak for those planning to settle in RSA. People should not be deterred by insane chiefs, no human being manufactured this planet, so don’t listen to Zwelitini or any other xenophobic leader.
Always thought wisdom was one of the requirements for one to be a traditional leader. Did not know that even *****s can be on the throne. ICHISUSHI for a king!
Silu ni silu olo ni chief
I think he is calling for the clipping of wings,this king! He wants attention hence asking for an ambassador to accompany ppo wanting to settle in his called land!! Zambia and some few other countries around must have forseen this and demoted Kings like Zwelithini,to paramount chieves…
Guy Scott said the South Africans were primitive and we condemned him. Now I wish to withdraw that condemnation
This is what you should expect with the barotse nonsense you are busy campaigning for. This backward thinking of Upnd after losing elections you start to scupid rantings of barotse this barotse that Wil just land our respectable country in shame. Today we are busy laughing at zwelitini, tomoro it will be on us. Vivaa one Zambia one nation motto for unit.
Stretching issues as usual by the resident bigot. You’re hatred of Lozis and UPND will send you to an early grave. Learn to stick to the topic.
If you dislike the barotse nonsense so much, why not let them go away and form their own country? Somehow you had to bring in upnd and barotseland in an unrelated story. Or have you forgotten that Sata used the barotseland agreement story to woo the western province vote? or that chiluba did the same in 1991? Truth is, when it’s convenient zambian politicians will use the barotseland agreement to gain votes. There might not be so many votes, but losing a whole province can turn tables in a political game.
Here is clear evidence why Kings and Chiefs never rule…who do the answer to?
Malusi a munthu.
How can a great people be ruled by a malusi of a person. He is not fit to sit on any throne.
By the way, where is the South African government in this treasonous state of affairs?
Zuma needs to wake up or he can forget about a South Africa that is one and prospering.
Can’t they resurrect Shaka? I think he was more reasonable than this zwelisomething.We will only need to orient Shaka how to wear shoes and voila we have a decent king.
I thought Kings were supposed to be wise..
The only person who speaks sense and truth among prominent people in SA is Graca Mache, wife of Late Nelson Mandela –
“I am South African. I am Mozambican. I am Zambian. I am Zimbabwean,” she said, continuing:
“Migration is in our blood! The borders were created by colonisers. They mean nothing to us because we are one.”
Zwilithini has a bantustan mentality and he wants to treat his brothers they way they treated them by white colonisers. It is really a sad day when a fellow black man in Africa is calling you a foreigner. Its very laughable. Who knows whether some of Zwilithini’s relatives came from Mozambique, Angola or Zambia?
Zambians lets just accept that our friends in south Africa do not want us. The best part of it is that we can still make Zambia a better place. Lets put our tribes and political inclination aside.
This king is snobish and arrogant he must be taken to the international court for causing the xnophobic killings in RSA.It appears the South African government is weak and this so called king has taken advantage of their weakness.Shame.
Very funny.is this just a repeat if you watched the inactiment of that movie Shaka, Zulu. So how does this work out? 22 nationals from Mozambique, 16 Malawians, 5 Zambians, 58 Nigerians, 20 Bangladesh, 1 British, 2 Americans, 36 Congolese, 14 Ghanaians and mind you they are all coming on different days and times. Man….ambassadors will be busy going to the palace.
Perhaps what I get is, the king feels marginalized all these foreigners in his kingdom.
Whats going to happen with the business men and women who travel to SA every so often to buy merchandise for sale. This is so sad. But somehow its a woke up for us call to start manufacturing our own. May God help us
total Madness for Real, South Africa never ceases to amuse me. It’s indeed a fools paradise, leave it to the fools like Shamewellitin and lets close boarders to these fools. How do you have aka king behaving this Stupid whilst government is watching.
Never ceases to amuse me.
Nkosi ya Makhosi Goodwill has dropped so much in my estimations, he even makes Chishimba Kambwili look like a civilized Statesman.
I’m nnw thinking of changing my name to “GOODWILL KAMBWILI”
The people I really feel sorry for are the white South Africans who are watching all this with a sense of disinterest. Wait and see who this mad king will go for next after he is done with black foreigners. Remember white Zimbabweans ignoring Mugabe when he slaughtered Ndebeles, then he went for them next …….
I am a black guy, and every time I am at Oliver Tambo Airport I look forward to being attended to by white South African immigration officials. Black South Africans immigration officials tend to be very hostile and unfriendly if you are black but can’t speak Zulu or Sotho. What a country!! It’s going to completely kill off their tourism industry!
Why is this fool still talking? ! Who is getting him a microphone kanshi?
