Zulu king forges ahead with plan to rename KwaZulu-Natal despite backlash

RENAMING KwaZulu-Natal to KwaZulu would be a travesty of cultural justice and an expression of unearned cultural supremacy, says cultural analyst Professor Musa Xulu.

- WILLEM PHUNGULA

He was reacting to Zulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini’s call to rename the KwaZulu-Natal province by removing the ‘Natal. Speaking during the 147th edition of the Battle of Isandlwana, in Nquthu in the north of the province last Thursday, the king announced that he would start a campaign to drop Natal from the province's name. The king’s argument is that prior to the colonisation of the province, the area was known as KwaZulu and fell under the Zulu kingdom. He said the colonisers renamed it Natal.
