Buthelezi removed as Zulu nation prime minister
The reasons behind the removal of Reverend Thulasizwe Buthelezi as the Amazulu Traditional Prime Minister remain unclear.
On Friday, King MisuZulu KaZwelithini issued a formal letter relieving him of the position he held for nearly a year.
The Reverend's appointment came after the death of Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi.
In the letter, addressed to the Amazulu nation and the public, the king announced the withdrawal of the prime minister, saying he would brief traditional leaders on the reasons for doing so, after January.

King MisuZulu’s urged the Zulu nation to support the process of appointing Buthelezi's successor.
Buthelezi has yet to publicly comment on the announcement.
