Provincial authorities in KwaZulu-Natal are working to defuse a land conflict between the abaKhwanazi and Ncube clans that has resulted in five traditional leader deaths and widespread unrest in the Dukuduku region. Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi led a community gathering alongside provincial officials to address tensions stemming from disputed oversight of territory, including portions of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. The violence followed claims that King Misuzulu kaZwelithini designated businessman Qiniso Ncube as land overseer, prompting protests and highway blockades from supporters of Inkosi Ntokozo Mkhwanazi.

The provincial Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs department refuted assertions about Ncube's appointment, affirming that Inkosi Mkhwanazi retains legitimate oversight authority on behalf of the monarchy. Officials emphasized clear communication regarding traditional leadership roles to prevent further misunderstandings and conflict escalation.

Law enforcement is committed to investigating the murders while encouraging dialogue among affected communities to restore stability in the contested area.
