Zulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini has threatened legal action against all those who drag his name through the mud.
He was referring to those who are opposed to his ascendancy to the throne, including some of his family members, according to a royal household member who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.
The royal household spokesperson Prince Africa Zulu of the Onkweni Palace said the king is “sick and tired” of the antics of some of the family members. “They have been misusing the car. They would go to hotels in Durban on occasions that had nothing to do with the royal household work. They raked a bill of over R500 000 and Ingonyama Trust questioned this as the bill was over the value of the vehicle.
“They treat the palace like a rented flat, in an undignified fashion. Matters of the KwaKhangela are to be decided by the reigning king and they don’t seem to understand that. They are treating the palace like a common house or rented flat,” he said.Dr Gugu Mazibuko, cluster leader of African languages and linguistics at UKZN and an expert on Zulu culture, said the king has a responsibility to look after all the Zulu palaces. He has his own but the one in question stays with his siblings.
