Biology vs tradition will be the basis of the battle of the AmaZulu throne between half-brother Prince Simakade and King Misuzulu this week
King Misuzulu has reigned since the death of his mother Queen Regent Mantfombi Dlamini in early 2021. According to Queen Mantfombi’s will, she named her eldest son Misuzulu as the King.
Queen Mantfombi, who is the sister of King Mswati, was the great wife as the Zulu nation paid her lobolo. It is understood that the late King Zwelithini’s wife would come from the great wife.According TimesLive, Prince Simakade’s claim for the throne is based on a traditional custom ofSimakade, the late King Zwelithini’s eldest son, claims he was placed in the care of the Great Wife Queen Mantfombi at the age of 11, who then regarded him as her son.
As such, as he claims since the heir would come from the house of the great wife, as the eldest he should be King.In his affidavit he states, “Under customary law, the child belongs to the house with which he or she has been affiliated and takes his or her rightful place in order of age with any other children of that house.
“These children would have the same status, rights and obligations enjoyed by and imposed upon the biological children of the wife with whose house they have been affiliated.”
