The Olu of Warri Kingdom, Ogiame Atuwatse III and his counterpart, His Majesty King Misuzulu KaZwelithini of South Africa, Zulu Kingdom have entered a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), seeking to enhance economic and social cultural exchange between the two kingdoms.

The signing of the MoU between the respected Africa monarchs took place at the KwaKhangelamankengane Royal Palace, KwsNongoma , KwaZulu -Natal came as the Olu of Warri emerged among the Global Reputation Forum Most 100 Reputable Africans.

King KaZwelithini expressed confidence that the new developmental pact being established between the Majesties will be of mutual benefit among the two Kingdoms adding that a seed of fraternal relationship has been planted.

He said, “As brother who carries ancestral mandate leads the people with vision, strength and unity. Your visit confirms a bond that transcend borders, a bond of blood, a bond of history, a bond of shared purpose, it is my sincere hope your majesty and your delegation that this engagement will open the corridor of sustained relationship between the two kingdoms of collaboration between Amazulu and the tribe of Warri people.

In his remarks, Ogiame Atuwatse III said he was overwhelmed with the reception by his host and noted that the meeting among the monarchies goes beyond cultural and economic exchange but also divine.

He said himself and the host King had shared similar experience which he noted goes beyond mere coincidence but was divinely weaved to have happened.

“I was explaining to the prince last night that history has a way of repeating itself if you are observant, you would see the connections. On my coronation day in August 2021, I had described the Africa continent as a gun and the trigger point of that gun specifically is the Niger Delta.

“Interestingly, the barrel from my analogy would be South Africa so the trigger point in the barrel appears to be meeting today.

“Iam here seated with His Majesty and I heard from him that we were both crowned in the same year. Our similarities speak to what our desires are for the Africa continent is beyond the political and borderline that has been drawn. I think this signifies seeing ourselves as borderless”, he stated.
