A local South African king was arrested on Friday after an early morning rampage at the royal palace of the AbaThembu tribe, local media reported.
King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo, 56, who is a nephew of South Africa’s late revolutionary leader Nelson Mandela, was released from prison last December.
According to local media reports, he was arrested again on Friday morning after breaking into the palace armed with weapons, including an axe, to attack his son, acting King Azenathi Dalindyebo.
Prince Zanothando Dalindyebo, Buyelekhaya’s brother, told South African media outlet Eyewitness News that the former king “jumped over the locked gate”
