Dispute Over King Misuzulu’s Legitimacy Reignites as Princes Challenge Coronation Process

Dispute Over King Misuzulu’s Legitimacy Reignites as Princes Challenge Coronation Process

The legitimacy of King Misuzulu kaZwelithini’s ascension to the Zulu throne is facing renewed scrutiny as Princes Simakade and Mbonisi Zulu maintain that his coronation was procedurally flawed and violated customary law.

In a joint statement this week, Prince Simakade—the elder half-brother of King Misuzulu—and Prince Mbonisi—the brother of the late King Goodwill Zwelithini—reiterated their stance that the process leading to Misuzulu’s recognition lacked transparency and constitutional soundness. They argue that proper succession protocols were ignored and accuse political forces of interfering in the traditional leadership process.

“Misuzulu’s coronation was premature and did not reflect the consensus of the royal family,” said Prince Mbonisi. “Our objections are not driven by personal ambition but by a responsibility to uphold the integrity of Zulu royal customs.”

Prince Simakade has repeatedly claimed to be the rightful heir, asserting that he holds the support of a substantial faction within the royal family and traditional leadership structures. In 2022, he further complicated the dispute by declaring himself king in a rival ceremony, deepening divisions within the royal household.

The conflict traces back to differing interpretations of Zulu succession customs following the death of King Goodwill Zwelithini in 2021. Despite President Cyril Ramaphosa’s official recognition of King Misuzulu and his subsequent state coronation in 2022, legal and traditional challenges have kept the matter unresolved.

Legal representatives for Princes Simakade and Mbonisi have indicated that further court action remains possible, depending on the results of ongoing mediation efforts. Meanwhile, King Misuzulu continues to fulfill his royal duties, including presiding over traditional ceremonies and engaging with government leaders.

The KwaZulu-Natal provincial government has called for peaceful dialogue, urging all parties to respect both constitutional and customary processes. However, the succession dispute continues to fuel division and uncertainty within the Zulu nation. With tensions unresolved, many are urging a solution that balances tradition with the need for unity and stability in the monarchy.
