“I know some of you are aching to know when we are getting a prime minister. I am saying let us not get there for now. We are still mourning the passing of Umntwana (Mangosuthu Buthelezi),” the report quoted the king as saying.
Buthelezi was buried last Saturday after he passed away at the age of 95.
He died just days after being discharged from the hospital.
