Our aim is to ensure that Amakhosi are treated with utmost respect<br>while also being allowed to champion development for our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> We will amass the requisite legal expertise to assist us in this process. We are also deeply concerned about the safety of Amakhosi and this is why I have asked the Department to investigate solutions that we can implement immediately to disrupt the scourge of the killing of Amakhosi,\u201d said MEC Buthelezi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The MEC assured Amakhosi that their issues will be dealt with extensively at a meeting of the Premier with all Amakhosi of the province as today was just a precursor to that meeting which will detail what the 7th Administration has in store for the institution of traditional leadership. He further announced that while he has already instructed the department to employ 241 EPWP workers to assist with the cleaning of the Traditional Administrative Centres. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This afternoon, MEC Rev.
