Numerous media houses have falsely reported that the reburial, unveiling and memorial ceremony of Queen Thomozile Jezangani Ka Ndwandwe Zulu, King Goodwill Zwelithiniâs late mother, will cost R300
million. The Municipality would like to refute these claims.
The reburial is part of a project that is aimed at the development of Umkhumbane Freedom Park. This project will include a fully-fledged interactive cultural museum and heritage centre, linked to associated
commercial, retail and other complimentary activities under the Cultural Renaissance Programme of the eThekwini Municipality. It is estimated that the whole project will cost R300 million.
The funds for this development will not solely come from taxpayers. Some of the funds have already been received from the National Lottery and the Cator Manor Development Association. Further funding is
still being sourced.
