Tributes poured in for Isilo Samabandla who passed away last week. Ramaphosa who delivered the eulogy said, “He will be remembered for being the staunchest defender of his people. He not only defended and advanced the interest of the Zulu people, but advanced their culture, customs, traditions and a deep sense of identity and nationhood.”
