Prince Simakade Zulu, who was later joined by Prince Mbonisi Zulu in his application, are challenging the legitimacy of the reigning king.
They further questioned Ramaphosa’s decision to acknowledge the King, stating that his decision should not have been influenced by the late Mangosuthu Buthelezi or last year’s judgment by KZN Deputy Judge President Isaac Madondo, who dismissed three applications by the King’s
