A SENIOR member of the Zulu royal family has been arrested in connection with the death two weeks ago of Nongoma mayor and Inkatha Freedom Party leader Joseph Sikhonde. Police spokesman Inspector Sabelo Zwane said the prince was arrested in Nongoma. His arrest brings to four the number of suspects arrested in connection with Sikhonde’s death. Sikhonde, 38, was ambushed and killed in KwaMinya two weeks ago while on his way home from the Ndabuko High School where he was the principal. The prince, a senior member of the royal family, will appear in a Vryheid court soon. Since Sikhonde’s death, five members of the royal household have been arrested in connection with the violence in the area.
