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.

Late interim leader's son Misuzulu named Zulu king


Queen Dlamini Zulu’s eldest son, Misuzulu Zulu, who has been chosen as the new Zulu king.
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.

Nongoma - The raging tensions over the troubled Zulu monarchy have flared up again after Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi accused Princess Thembi Zulu-Ndlovu of telling lies by claiming he is imposing himself on royal affairs.
Buthelezi was responding to claims the princess made on Monday when she told an impromptu press conference addressed by “royal rebels” outside Khangela palace in Nongoma on Monday that Buthelezi was imposing himself in royal affairs.
Princess Thembi also said his time as the king’s and Zulu traditional prime minister expired when King Cyprian Bhekuzulu passed away in September 1968.

Nongoma – Unlike during the burial of the late King Goodwill Zwelithini in mid-March this year where the Zulu regiment of men played a prominent role, the burial of Zulu Queen Regent Mantfombi Dlamini-Zulu will be dominated by a regiment of women.
This was revealed by the leader of the Zulu men’s regiment, Mlandeni “Mgilija” Nhleko, on Wednesday during an interview outside Khangela palace in Nongoma where the mourning for the queen is taking place.
Nhleko said while they would be present during most of the burial activities, this time around their role would be minimal.

Zulu Royals lash out at Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi


Zulu Royals lash out at Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi
Zulu monarch King Goodwill Zwelithini's siblings have accused Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi of being a dictator
The late King’s sister Princess Thembi Ndlovu and brother Prince Mbonisi Zulu, along with four other princes, spoke outside Khangela palace, after Buthelezi, the monarchy’s traditional prime minister, allegedly locked them out of a meeting.
They have accused Buthelezi of excluding them in key family discussions and creating divisions in the Zulu royal household. This is just a fraction of the drama that has unfolded following the passing of Queen Mantfombi Dlamini Zulu, the Regent of the Zulu nation, less than a week ago. She was King Zwelithini’s senior wife and the sister to Eswatini’s King Mswati.

Nongoma – The Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) is ready to intervene to resolve the raging Zulu royal family fight, but if it is invited to do so by the royal court.
On Monday, afternoon after visiting Khangela palace in Nongoma to mourn the passing of Queen Regent Mantfombi Dlamini-Zulu, 65, Minister Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma said tension did happen in royal households but it was up to members to find one another and resolve their differences.
She was referring to the raging war between one side, led by Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, the king's and Zulu nation's prime minister, and another side, led by Princess Thembi, Prince Mbonisi and Prince Thokozani.

Nongoma - KZN Premier Sihle Zikalala has confirmed that his office has been served with court papers by lawyers representing King Goodwill Zwelithini’s first wife, Queen Sibongile Dlamini and her two daughters, Princess Ntandoyenkosi Zulu and Princess Ntombizosuthu Zulu-Duma.
The court action, along with infighting linked with the succession battle in the Zulu Royal Family, has left the monarch divided.
Queen Sibongile and her two daughters, want to interdict the execution of the king’s will. They argue that his will was forged.
Separately, the queen who married the king in 1969 through a civil union, contests that she is the senior wife, and as such, she wants 50% of the king’s estate and the other half to be shared by the other five wives and their 26 surviving children.

Nongoma - King Goodwill Zwelithini’s sister, Princess Thembi Ndlovu, has hit out at Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, telling him “time is up” and that he should remove himself from the affairs of the Zulu royal family.
This is the latest spat from the Zulu royal court in Nongoma, following heightened tensions after the king’s first wife, Queen Sibongile Dlamini, approached the courts on an urgent application, saying the king’s will had been forged and in a bid for her to attain 50% of the king’s estate as part of her civil union with the deceased.
