President Jacob Zuma has written to His Majesty King Dalindyebo of the AbaThembu, asking him to make representations as to why the certificate of recognition as the King of the AbaThembu people should not be withdrawn from him, in line with the request from the AbaThembu Royal Family.
The Royal Family wrote to the President on 01 October 2012 and 04 February 2013 requesting him to implement their decision taken on 29 September 2012, to remove His Majesty King Dalindyebo as King of the Abathembu.
The grounds on which a King can be removed are outlined in section 10(1) of the Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Act, 2003 (Act).
The President has requested written representation from the King, within 30 days of receipt of the letter, which has been delivered to the King.
