Controversy
The KwaMpumuza royal family secretly buried Prince Thembelani KaThubelihle Zondi which led to the mother, Bathobile Hlela, claiming that her son was buried without her prior knowledge. The royal family claimed the decision was due to escalating tensions and the rumours surrounding the death, which was believed to be suicide.[2]
