Umndeni ube usuthatha enye indlela ngemuva kwalokho wathi isidumbu sakhe ngeke sibhekwe ngenxa yemithetho ye-Covid-19.
Ngaphandle kokudalula amagama, uButhelezi uthe abanye emndenini bafuna ukungayinaki imithetho kahulumeni ye-Covid-19.
Usabise ngokulahla imisebenzi yakhe yokuxhumana nesizwe ngamalungiselelo wokubekwa kwenkosi.
Uhlanga Lomhlabathi uZwelithini usebenze iminyaka engama-50 njengeNkosi yesizwe samaZulu.
“Ngiyawenza lo msebenzi, ngisho nangezikhathi ezinzima,” kusho uButhelezi.
Ubuye wanxusa ukuthi izinhlaka zomndeni wasebukhosini zihloniphe iNkosi ize ibekwe ngosuku olwaziwa ngumndeni.
Inkonzo yesikhumbuzo izoba ngoLwesine, kusho uButhelezi.
UButhelezi uthe wahlangana namalungu omndeni wasebukhosini ukuxoxa ngamalungiselelo okubekwa kweNkosi kodwa abanye baphikisana nomkhuba ojwayele ukwenziwa uma kufihlwa iNkosi.
Ethukuthele, uButhelezi usabise ngokuthi uzowashiya amalungiselelo omngcwabo, kodwa wancengwa nguNgqongqoshe wamaPhoyisa uMnu uBheki Cele noNgqongqoshe wezeMpilo uZweli Mkhize ukuthi baqhubeke.
Akusikhona okokuqala ukuthi abasebukhosini bazithole behilizisana ngemuva kokudlula kweNkosi.
Ngenkathi iSilo uZwelithini sibekwa njengenkosi ngowezi-1971, waphoqeleka ukuba ayobhaca ngemuva kwezinsolo zokuthi kukhona ababesendlini yakhe ababefuna ukumbulala.
Izinyane leNkosi uThulani Zulu, okhulumela abasebukhosini, uthe izingxoxo zomuntu ozohlala esihlalweni sobukhosi zizobhungwa uma iNkosi isibekiwe.
NjengoButhelezi, ubuye wanxusa amalungu omndeni wakhe ukuthi asuse ingxoxo mpikiswano kuze kube iNkosi ibekwa endaweni yokugcina.
Izinyane leNkosi uZulu uthe iSilo samabandla wonke uZwelithini uzofihlwa ngasese ngumndeni kuphela.
