South African court backs succession of Zulu king
The South African high court has rejected an attempt to prevent the coronation of Misuzulu KaZwelithini as Zulu king, saying he is undisputedly considered to be the heir to the throne.
The Zulu nation has been without a leader for almost a year after the death of King Goodwill Zwelithini.
His wife, and interim regent, Queen Mantfombi Dlamini died shortly after him which has led to an ongoing dispute over succession and inheritance.
Before her death, she appointed her son, Prince Misuzulu KaZwelithini, a move some royal family members disagreed with.
