Zuma’s Controversial Nephew Khulubuse Saga Goes On
President Jacob Zuma’s nephew continues making headlines. Khulubuse Zuma is his most controversial relative. Recently, he made another expensive purchase.
R2 Million Durban Residence
According to sources, Khulubuse purchased a Durban residence. The property cost an estimated R2 million. He bought it for his Swazi princess, Fikisiwe Dlamini. However, the payment came reluctantly.
This revelation was shared with The South Africa News.
A History of Lavish Gifts
This isn’t Khulubuse’s first extravagant gesture. Two years ago, the 42-year-old businessman spent big. He forked out around R1 million for Dlamini’s birthday. The gift was a luxurious Maserati.
Additionally, he paid lobola for the princess. Within two months, he rendered money for 100 cattle. This traditional payment demonstrated serious commitment.
Fikisiwe Dlamini has royal lineage. She is King Mswati’s niece. Specifically, she’s the daughter of prince Phiwokwakhe Dlamini. Prince Phiwokwakhe was the king’s late brother.
The home sits in Queens View Place. This location is in Umgeni Park, Durban North. Notably, it’s one of the largest houses on the road. The property offers stunning sea views.
The eThekwini municipal evaluation confirms its value. Officials set the property value at R2 million.
Business Controversies
Meanwhile, Khulubuse faces serious business allegations. He had business partners in Aurora goldmine. One partner was Nelson Mandela’s grandson, Zondwa Mandela. Together, they operated the mining venture.
Unfortunately, the venture ended in controversy. Khulubuse was accused of ruining mine infrastructure. The damage was extensive and costly. Consequently, more than 5,300 jobs were lost.
The saga around President Zuma’s nephew continues to unfold.
