The royal family of the kingdom of AbaThembu wants to know why acting king Prince Azenathi Dalindyebo continues to receive a salary and other benefits from the government.
Last month, the royal family, known also as the Ngangelizwe Royal Family, wrote to Xolile Nqatha, MEC of cooperative governance and traditional affairs, asking him to explain why Azenathi continued to receive a salary/stipend, a state-sponsored vehicle and other benefits, despite his acting period having lapsed on March 8.
Azenathi receives his salary on the 15th day of each month. Last Friday, at a press conference at Bumbane Great Place, Prince Siganeko Dalindyebo, his spokesperson, confirmed that his nephew had been paid this month’s stipend.
