Following expressions of frustration from AmaZulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini over what he describes as being sidelined from major events, including the 46th SADC Summit hosted in KwaZulu-Natal in August, the Department of International Relations and Cooperation has issued a statement saying the monarch was officially invited to attend the SADC Summit.

The Ministry says the King was expected to attend the official banquet and the opening ceremony.

DIRCO says it will engage with the King's Private Office to clarify and resolve any misunderstanding.
