King Dalindyebo wants a princess

King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo who recently caused a furore by publicly criticising Jacob Zuma now seems to be following the President’s example when it comes to matrimony. He now wants a sixth wife, just like Zuma, and this time she has to be a royal.

King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo who recently caused a furore by publicly criticising Jacob Zuma now seems to be following the President’s example when it comes to matrimony. He now wants a sixth wife, just like Zuma, and this time she has to be a royal.

Dalindyebo, king of the AbaThembu, resides in Bumbane Great Place in the Eastern Cape. From his palace he ordered the royal Dlomo family and AmaThembu nation to find him a princess by December, the Daily Dispatch reported last Saturday.

The king came under fire last month for saying: “Unfortunately I would say the President has a habit of not condomising. We do not like people with that kind of attitude. His behaviour is indeed a shower mentality.”

This was after Zuma attempted to have him ousted as a king. Zuma alleged that Dalindyebo failed to behave as a royal.
Five days later, Dalindyebo joined the main opposition party Democratic Alliance.

Dalindyebo currently has four wives and six children, three of whom are sons. His fifth wife died two years ago.

According to the AmaDlomo custom, the preferred heir of Dalindyebo’s throne and future leader of the amaThembu throne must be a son born from a ‘great wife’, i.e. a royal woman from another kingdom.

If the king does not bear an heir with his prospective new wife, one of his three sons will inherit the throne.
