UMfowakwaNomajalimane ungungoti wepolitiki nepolitiki yezomnotho. UnguMhleli Omkhulu noMshicileli weBayede.
Kwenzeka konke lokhu aseqalile amalungiselelo okugubha iminyaka engama-50 eSILO siseSihlalweni. Le minyaka yenza iSILO kube yisona esesibuse isikhathi eside ukwedlula iNgonyama uMpande kaSenzangakhona. Sabekwa eSihlalweni sineminyaka engama-23 lapho uBukhosi bukaZulu babulokhu busatshiswa ngamaBhunu ngokuthi bungashatshalaliswa noma yinini.
Njengomgcini wamasiko nenqubo kaZulu, imisebenzi yeSILO ihlala njalo iwumthombo wobumbano emphakathini nanjengobufakazi obuqandula ikhanda bezimiso zomphakathi, ezihlanganise imiphakathi ngisho izikhathi ziguquka. Ngeqhaza laso kukhulu ukuzwana emasikweni ehlukene kweleNdlovukazi uMthaniya. Sisebenzise isiko ukwenza ubumbano phakathi kwezinhlanga nezinkolo okwehlukene. Kuze kube namhlanje iSILO siphumelele ekuletheni isithunzi eSihlalweni nakubantu baso.
Cishe kule minyaka engamashumi ama-50 senze isiqinisekiso sokuthi iSihlalo sikaZulu akusona nje kuphela isikhungo sokuqhuba imikhosi kodwa ikakhulukazi yisikhungo sezimiso esinikela ekusebenzeleni umphakathi ezweni, ekuhlanganiseni ngokwenhlalo kanye nasezidingweni zomnotho.
