I have taken note of the media allegations pertaining to my family and
my recent meeting with President Jacob Zuma.

I believe that it is opportunistic for the media to link the recent
developments in the Inkatha Freedom Party, which I lead, with my
personal life or my working relationship with President Zuma.

Regarding the media reports of my grandson's convinction for theft of
a licensed firearm, I wish to state that this is a private family
matter which is receiving attention from all those whom it concerns.
There a no family division or feud as Mr Mandla Zulu of the City Press
alleges. These allegations are false and are a continuation of the
long-standing vendetta Mr Zulu has been waging against me.

As far as my meeting with President Zuma is concerned, it was a
confidential discussion and I am therefore not prepared to publicise
the content of the meeting in question.
