As AbaThembu king Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo is expected to hand himself in at Wllington prison to start his jail term on Wednesday‚ his victims said they are relieved that justice will finally be served.
Although it took more than 20 years for him to be jailed‚ they appeared happy that he will eventually spend time for the crimes he committed.
Stokwana Sonteya‚ 74‚ whose four roundavels were set alight with nine goats in one of them‚ said the only thing he wanted was for his huts to be rebuilt and to get some compensation.
His house was the first to be set alight.
Read:
“The king should go to jail because the law has no king or chief. If you break the law you should be in jail‚" he said.
His wife‚ Nocingile‚ and their children were kidnapped by the king. She still feels aggrieved but is happy that the king will finally “pay for his crimes”.

Sonteya's older brother‚ Wayiya‚ 75‚ had three of his rondavels torched. He suffered a stroke after the incident and is still bitter about the incident.
