In a momentous occasion for the Chiefs under the King Cetshwayo District, the announcement of the construction of Amakhosi Chambers brought immense joy and anticipation.
Today, the King Cetshwayo District Municipality Council marked the occasion with a groundbreaking ceremony (SOD Turning) for the upcoming Amakhosi Chambers. The Chiefs, delighted by this prospect, gathered in large numbers to celebrate and express their gratitude for the initiative led by the Honorable Mayor Thami Ntuli of the King Cetshwayo District.
The Sod turning ceremony took place in Eshowe, within the UMlalazi Council jurisdiction, under the leadership of the esteemed Mayor Queen Xulu.
During the event, the Chief of Mahlayizini conveyed his elation at the prospect of the Amakhosi Chambers, highlighting the challenges faced by the Chiefs, including the lack of a dedicated meeting place for crucial discussions. He acknowledged the significant contributions of Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, UMntwana wakwa Phindangene, particularly mentioning the Rand for Rand campaign. Additionally, he extended congratulations to Honorable A.T Ntuli on being elected as the Premier of KwaZulu-Natal, encouraging fellow Chiefs to support his leadership.
Mayor A.T Ntuli, in his address, expressed his satisfaction in presenting the Soyi laMakhosi, emphasizing that this initiative was inspired by Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi’s vision, who endorsed and blessed the project during his lifetime. The Mayor pledged to continue addressing the challenges within the King Cetshwayo District and, if given the opportunity to become KZN Premier, promised to extend these efforts to fix damaged roads and generate job opportunities. The construction of Amakhosi Chambers stands not only as a physical structure but as a symbol of progress and commitment to the welfare of the Chiefs in the King Cetshwayo District. As the project takes shape, it heralds a new era for the Chiefs, providing them with a dedicated space to conduct important meetings and contribute to the development of their communities.
