  1. East London is part of the Xhosa Kingdom. How can a Nigerian have a Kingdom where the Kingdom aready exists. Go home please to your Kingdom in Nigeria. The disrespect to our country

  2. Fun fact…A foreign king is not considered the king of that country simply by being coronated there; his reign is typically limited to his own realm unless he is also recognized as the sovereign of that country.So youve just destroyed , burnt and looted everything for nothing

  3. What other african fails to understsnd is that South Africa is a very violent society. Few yrs it was femicide, then Zimbabwe, ethiopians, Nigerians now, whose next? They never stop to self-retrospect.

  4. This is Nigeria undermining South African culture a man doesn’t marry a woman and move to her family land he should have too the woman to his own country and be crowned to be a king there if is in his blood

  5. This is caused by Pamaphosa he disrespects all South African Kings as a president he shouldn’t have allowed this to happen you know what it’s because he’s not a South African himself so if he can be a president so Nigerian can be kings they must continue to protect and not stop
