King Bhunane 3 of South Africa and members of the Zulu royal family this morning quietly made their way into the country via Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo Airport in Bulawayo.
Sources at the international airport confirmed to media that the King of the Hlubi people of South Africa who are subjects of Zulu king Goodwill Zwelithini sneaked into the country as Zwelithini's emissary.
Media was recently a awash with news that King Zwelithini was on his way to the country an issue which was met with massive resistance from Zimbabweans following the king's sentiments about the influx of foreigners in South Africa leading to xenophobic attacks against foreigners by South African nationals.
The resistance by Zimbabweans caused the organisers of the trip to abandon the king's trip to Zimbabwe. It is also believed that the Zimbabwean government was not in a position to sanction Zwelithini's visit to the country after Zwelithini described President Robert Mugabe as a failed father who can not take care of his children as Zimbabweans flock into South Africa in millions as economic refugees.
The royal families are believed to be in the company of Gwanda born South Africa based business tycoon Justice Maphosa who is bank rolling the Gwanda Gospel Extravaganza at a cost running into millions of Rands.
