Buthelezi Condemns Rumours Of A Brewing Battle For The Throne In The Royal House.


By Phumzile Mavimbela

  Prince Simakade Zulu has denied the rumors of an internal feud brewing over the AmaZule throne in the royal house. Prince Simakade Zulu is the other son of the late king Goodwill Zwelithini. In a letter written by prime minister Mangosuthu Buthelezi, the prince denied the claims of him opposing the appointment of his brother Misizulu Zulu as the new king. 

 "There is no dispute at present over the throne," Buthelezi said. 

Prime Minister Buthelezi in the letter pleaded with the public to stop spreading misinformation about the royal family. This follows the rumors that went viral on social media about King being forced to getting married before he can issue royal decrees

"The present speculation that his majesty is compelled to marry before he's installed suggests that our present government is mimicking what the apartheid regime imposed on our people. This is an inflammatory accusation that can cause deep distress. I'm not saying the king will not marry, it may be possible. But him being not married could never stop him from ascending the throne or issuing royal decrees, he's already issuing them now. We can't do anything already without getting his permission and approval." Said Buthelezi
