South African Court Invalidates Recognition of Zulu King

A South African court has ruled that President Cyril Ramaphosa's recognition of Misuzulu kaZwelithini as the king of the Zulu nation was unlawful, potentially triggering a lengthy succession battle. The court has ordered an investigation into objections raised by some members of the Zulu royal family regarding the rightful heir to the throne. The ruling criticizes Ramaphosa for ignoring other family members' complaints and states that the recognition decision is invalid. The Zulu king holds significant influence as a custodian of traditional customs and land, controlling vast territories and receiving an annual budget for the upkeep of royal households and cultural activities.

South African Court Declares Zulu King's Recognition Unlawful

The Pretoria high court in South Africa has ruled that the government's recognition of King Misuzulu Zulu, the monarch of the Zulu nation, was unlawful. The court has ordered President Cyril Ramaphosa to establish an inquiry to investigate whether the king's accession followed customary laws. The ruling could potentially trigger a new succession battle within the Zulu nation, as the court declared the presidential recognition of the king as "unlawful and invalid." The Zulu king's coronation was delayed for 15 months due to disputes over succession following the death of his father, King Goodwill Zwelithini, in 2021.
