Zulu monarch King Goodwill Zwelithini is alleged to have criticised people who engaged in same-sex relationships, labelling them "rotten".

We asked ordinary people around Rosebank what they thought of this situation. 

Did they think it was an appropriate platform in which to voice this opinion?  Did they think that such an upstanding and respected person should be vocal on such an issue?  Should he keep his personal opinions to himself?

On the subject of royalty we also asked if they feel that monarchs are still relevant, and if they think and if tax payers should be supporting their lavish lifestyles.

How do you feel about the Kings comment and do you think that what he said was misinterpreted in translation?  Share your view by commenting below:
