The King of the Zulus has weighed in on the current anti-foreigner violence in South Africa. It is always interesting how monarchs in parts of Africa, as in some parts of Asia, maintain an important role in society with an official status other than head of state, devoid of any political or constitutional role. Hopefully, in this case the King's calls for peace will have at least some small impact.
