The coronation of Prince Misuzulu kaZwelithini as the king of the Zulu nation can go ahead, the Pietermaritzburg high court ruled on Wednesday.
She died before she could ascend to the throne. She named her eldest son Prince Misuzulu, as her successor “which was in accordance with traditional law and custom” and her will had not been challenged.
Madondo dismissed with costs an application by the princesses' mother Queen Sibongile Winifred Zulu, the king’s first wife, for a declaratory order from the court that her civil marriage in 1969 was in community of property, which would entitle her to a half share of the king’s estate. Madondo said “no practical effect” would be achieved by this and the queen should lodge her claim with the executor of the estate.
Madondo said that application had become “moot”, but he dealt at length with allegations that there was division in the Zulu royal family over who should take the throne.
