Mangosuthu Buthelezi’s zodiac sign is Virgo. According to astrologers, Virgos are always paying attention to the smallest details and their deep sense of humanity makes them one of the most careful signs of the zodiac. Their methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is left to chance, and although they are often tender, their heart might be closed for the outer world. This is a sign often misunderstood, not because they lack the ability to express, but because they won’t accept their feelings as valid, true, or even relevant when opposed to reason. The symbolism behind the name speaks well of their nature, born with a feeling they are experiencing everything for the first time.
Mangosuthu Buthelezi was born in the Year of the Dragon. A powerful sign, those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Dragon are energetic and warm-hearted, charismatic, lucky at love and egotistic. They’re natural born leaders, good at giving orders and doing what’s necessary to remain on top. Compatible with Monkey and Rat.
Under the Apartheid regime, this South African Politician served as Prime Minister of his country's KwaZulu territory. In the mid-1970s, he founded the Inkatha Freedom Party and co-authored the Mahlabatini Declaration of Faith (a government proposal that called for a peaceful end to South African racial strife).
While studying at the University of Fort Hare, he became a member of the African National Congress Youth League. He later graduated from the University of Natal.
His grandfather, King Cetshwayo kaMpande, led the Zulu Kingdom from 1872 until 1879.
His marriage to Irene Audrey Thandekile Mzila resulted in daughters named Phumzile, Mandisi, Mabhuku, Lethuxolo, and Sibuyiselwe and sons named Zuzifa, Nelisuzulu, and Phumaphesheya. Sadly, two of his children died of AIDS in 2004, and a third was killed in a 2008 automobile accident.
Though originally affiliated with Nelson Mandela's African National Congress Party, Buthelezi's Inkatha Freedom Party later broke ties with the ANC.
