Senior political journalist Sihle Mavuso reflects on his coverage of two Zulu royal funerals and the tense succession debate as he takes readers behind-the-scenes at the royal palace.
Beyond one’s call of duty as a journalist to write and inform the public, one indirectly records history. That was the case for me from March 12 to 18 and April 29 to May 8 this year.
The process of indirectly archiving history started on March 12, when King Goodwill Zwelithini, the longest-reigning Zulu king, passed away at age 72, throwing the monarch and the Zulu nation into mourning.

The late Zulu nation interim leader, Mantfombi Dlamini Zulu’s eldest son, Misuzulu Zulu was on Friday night announced as the new Zulu King.
The announcement was made at the Khangela Royal Palace in Nongoma where the will of the Queen was presented to the royal family.
Prince Misuzulu, who studied in the U.S., had arrived at his mother’s memorial service at the kwaKhangela Royal Palace in the company of some amabutho. Some royal family members said the announcement that Prince Misuzulu would be the new Zulu nation ruler had to be made yesterday to avoid further disputes within the royal family over the succession matter. The announcement followed a royal family meeting where the Queen’s will was read.
