Court battle for Zulu King

Pretoria High Court to hear Prince Simakade's application challenging the appointment of King Misuzulu kaZwelithini.

The Pretoria High Court will next week hear an application by Zulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini’s rival, Prince Smakade, who is challenging the 2021 appointment of the reigning Zulu monarch.

Among other things, King Zwelithini’s will stipulated that Queen Mantfombi Dlamini should be announced as the regent should he die. Queen Mantfombi, who died a few weeks after King Zwelithini’s burial, left a will appointing King Misuzulu kaZwelithini as the late King’s successor. However, Prince Smakade, who has since declared himself as the legitimate king of the Zulu nation, approached the Pretoria High Court to challenge Ramaphosa’s decision to recognise King Misuzulu as the ruler of the Zulu nation.

But King Misuzulu is arguing that it is the king or the king regent who decides who the next king would be.
