    Linda..pls take note
    Monarchs are not addressed as dead in the African culture but rather join their ancestors.
    You wouldn't know as you are not royalty.I mean no disrespect.

    people claiming he's been dead for a long time should be wary of your claims and accusations... If you guys can't accept the news and respect traditionsI'm sorry for you lot...
