On Tuesday afternoon, there was a long line of vehicles on the road while locals in IFP regalia also descended on the homestead. 

 

Earlier on Tuesday, the Buthelezi family received visits from a government delegation which included Public Works Minister and former KZN premier Sihle Zikalala. 

 

Party deputy president Floyd Shivambu led EFF members who came to pay tribute, while DA visitors included federal leader John Steenhuisen and provincial leader Francois Rodgers.

Both the EFF and DA brought live cattle as offerings to the family in keeping with culture and tradition.

 

A sentiment shared by the two parties' leaders is Buthelezi's wisdom and dedication, with the DA's Steenhuisen saying this is one of the reasons his legacy will live on.
