Melmoth: The former ANC Youth League regional leader is under fire from his royal family as he is being accused of orchestrating a campaign to disrespect and undermine the Prime Minister to the Zulu Monarch Reverend Thulasizwe Buthelezi. Lindokuhle Xulu from Mzala Nxumalo Region has been summoned to a family meeting by the Prime Minister of the Xulu Clan to explain the allegations against him of putting the name of the family and its traditional leadership into disrepute. In a letter that was leaked to Scrolla.Africa, Dr Cedric Xulu, who is the Prime Minister of the clan, summoned his son Lindokuhle to attend the meeting that will be held on Monday in Melmoth, north of KZN, over the allegations of using other people behind the scenes to insult and disrespect Buthelezi. “You are facing allegations of orchestrating the public insults toward Reverend TD Buthelezi. This is a serious case because you are placing your clan and its traditional leadership in a bad way and an image that will never be fixed,” said Dr Xulu in a letter.
