ActionSA to March Against ‘Illegal’ Crowning of Igbo Monarch in Eastern Cape

ActionSA has announced a protest over what it calls an unlawful installation of a Nigerian Igbo leader in East London, Eastern Cape. The party says crowning Chief Solomon Ogbonna Eziko as “Igwe Ndigbo” breached South Africa’s traditional leadership laws. The Eastern Cape House of Traditional and Khoi-San Leaders has condemned the ceremony. It warns the move undermines recognised customary systems and violates the Traditional and Khoi-San Leadership Act. ActionSA’s parliamentary leader, Athol Trollip, will join supporters on Monday’s march. He and local officials fear the coronation could inflame community tensions. Provincial authorities and traditional leaders are calling for urgent legal action and the dissolution of the disputed kingship structure.
