Hey Blackie do you know how many Black Kings/Chiefs etc are doing the exact same thing of living off the tax paying folks.
In RSA I think that either 11 or 12 so called "Traditional Royals" are living in luxury at the expense of the people.
Living in Durban at the time ( late 1970's) when the Zulu Chief purchased a house on the Berea.
The government spent a fortune upgrading and installing a pool for the great one all at the taxpayers expense.
The number of housekeeping staff and his private staff , bodyguards was large and the cars that they drove cost a good penny or two.
Never observed any VW's, Fiats or Hondas entering the property but plenty Mercedes, BMW's and other high end transport coming and going day and night some with armed escorts.
Besides that they had a section of the road cordoned off and no parking was allowed close to the property.
All this in the elite area of the city where crime was unknown.
By the way I revisited the area a few years after we moved to Canada and I can honestly say the area has gone to the dogs.
Wonder what the ancestors thought of the residence?
But no worries they had a blast every weekend and fortunately all costs got covered by us the people.
Then you also have ZUMA characters that suffer with the delusion that they own everything and everything is free for the politicians and their families.
CM might be able to add more to this as he was living in Natal (greater Durban area) after we departed.
Simple fact some people who aspire to a position in life with access to money and power they change be it white, black or brown.
Unfortunately.
