Queen Mother’s words of wisdom to a king

Queen Nozamile Sigcawu has some wise words for her son King Mpendulo Zwelonke Sigcawu on the occasion of the AmaXhosa nation witnessing his coronation today.

“Be an embodiment of unity among members of the family, the royal clan of AmaTshawe and the nation, and never allow yourself to become a demigod.”

She advised the king to be a servant of his father’s people and never demand respect, but earn it with hard work.
