Ramaphosa said the country’s thoughts, prayers and hearts were with them in what he called this hour of compounded grief.
The president shared his condolence message via Twitter.
He said: “Personally and on behalf of government and all South Africans, I offer my sincerest condolences to the Royal Family and the Zulu nation. We extend our thoughts, prayers and hearts once more to the Royal Family who, in the midst of mourning the passing of the beloved King.”
