South African Court Invalidates Recognition of Zulu King by President
A South African court has overturned President Cyril Ramaphosa's recognition of Misuzulu kaZwelithini as the king of the Zulu nation, following objections from some members of the Zulu royal house. The court has ordered Ramaphosa to launch an investigation into the selection process for the throne. The ruling does not determine the rightful heir but questions whether the correct processes were followed. Ramaphosa has been instructed to appoint a committee to investigate the disputes. The Zulu royal house controls significant land and receives a substantial budget from the provincial government.
