The prince, who one section of the royal family regards as the rightful Zulu monarch, made this claim at a family meeting in Ulundi, northern KwaZulu-Natal, on Wednesday.
That side of the family is led by King Zwelithini's sister, Princess Thembi Ndlovu, and brother, Prince Mbonisi Zulu. They are understood to favour the monarch's first born, Prince Simakade Zulu, to take the throne.
“I have all my faith in you. This seat doesn't belong to Thembi and Simakade, it belongs to you. I hope this is the last time we hold such a meeting,” he said. They expressed reservations with attending a meeting where there was no agenda sent ahead of time. This was contained in letter attributed to the two royals, which was read out at the meeting.However, Prince Misuzulu said: “I am happy that in the presence of the media, it is clear that we invited them. They chose not to come, but I still say they are my blood.”“This is not a meeting to appoint a king. There is a king,” he said.
