Zulu king whose remarks incited Xenophobic attacks appeals for calm

Zulu king Goodwill Zwelithini whose remarks incited Xenophobic attacks after saying "All foreigners must leave South Africa" has appealed for calm. Speaking with his subjects today April 20th in Durban, the king said his remarks were taken out of context.
"This violence directed at our brothers and sisters is shameful. My speech ... was directed at the police, calling for stricter law enforcement, but that was never reported. The public was instead given another side of my speech, which had been twisted and misrepresented." he said
He pleaded with South Africans to stop attacking foreigners.

    5. Go tell that to all the foreigners that have been beaten/stabbed/hacked/burnt to death as if they were common rats or lizards or roaches. Go and appeal to them wherever they lay rotting away with dogs feeding on their charred flesh. God will come after you for this...the blood of every innocent will cry out in vengeance against your wicked soul..and generational curses and being prepared for you. Zulu piece of shit lowlife slave

  10. The King is got blood on his hands, the harm has been done already. Innocent people have been killed and the fear is very rife.
    This is why traditional leaders should be very mindful of their words, this is not the 1910's.

  29. Is it possible for him to say he doesn't care and the killings should go on? This is what happens when you don't filter what you say to the public as a leader...his speech triggered the xenophobic attacks, now he's saying the misinformed the people, where was he when the killing started? what was his reaction? These are the kind of people ICC shouldn't hesitate to get hold of!!! Evil man!!!!

  58. Better talk to your people cos most SA companies around the world will definitely suffer due to these utterances. Wonder why it took him so long to plead for calm. See how you guys have crippled your economy. By the time major investors leave your SA I wonder what will become of it.

We are all guilty because the whole world is insane...

  62. ....and my question is;your highness,why did it have to take you this so much time to make this remark hence calling for peace? Were you waiting for them to fetch more progress(spilling of blood)in your anticipated gestures before you could come out to condemn the act? Am sure you don't even know how it feels loosing someone very dear to you in such a helpless and hurtful manner. #stopxenphobia

  104. When a similar hate speech was issued in Lagos some were in support because they felt it was we vs them. Now everyone is against this. If the hate speech led to the killing of people in Lagos, whose side would you have been on?
    If something is bad, it is bad. Learn from this and pass it on to your children instead of being stupidly blinded by trivial issues like which part of Nigeria someone is from.

    OTHER TRIBES WILL BE CAUGHT IN THE CROSS FIRE.
