    Chief Mangosuthu Gatsha Buthelezi

    Chief Mangosuthu Gatsha Buthelezi, son of Princess Magogo Constance Zulu kaDinuzulu, King Solomon’s sister, and Inkosi Mathole Buthelezi, the King’s Prime Minister, was born on 27 August 1928 in the Mahlabathini District, KwaZulu. His mother was the daughter of King Dinizulu and granddaughter of King Cetshwayo. His paternal grandfather, Myamana Buthelezi, was the Prime Minister to King Cetshwayo.

    From 1934 to 1943, he attended Impumalanga Primary School in Nongoma, Kwazulu. He went on to study at Adams College in Amanzimtoti where he matriculated. In 1948, he studied at the University of Fort Hare, Eastern Cape, where he joined the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL).

    Buthelezi studied Bantu Administration, Roman-Dutch Law and Criminal Law at the University. Here he met Professor Z K Mathews, Robert Sobukwe, the African National Congress (ANC) Youth League leader, and other African nationalist liberation leaders such as Robert Mugabe.

    In 1950, he participated in student protests against the visit of Governor General G Brand Van Zyl, and as a result, was expelled from the University. His academic progress was, however, not hampered as the University of Natal (now University of KwaZulu-Natal – UKZN) allowed
