President Jacob Zuma last month, on 25 January 2016, referred to the Department of Justice and Correctional Services a letter and petition he received from the Eastern Cape Provincial Chairperson of CONTRALESA, Inkosi Mwelo Nonkonyane, requesting that President Zuma considers granting His Majesty King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo of abaThembu a Presidential Pardon.
The President duly forwarded the petition and letter to the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services for further processing as the Department responsible for such applications.
Upon completion of all the internal processes, the Minister will submit the King's application for pardon to the President for a decision.
