While still mourning the death of King Goodwill Zwelithini and his wife Queen Mantfombi, the Zulu royal family has suffered yet another loss.
This after King Zwelithiniâs brother Prince Thiza Zulu aged 72 years died on Friday, 21 May after a short illness.
Prince Thiza was one of the remaining senior princes from the KwaDlamahlahla Royal Palace and was close to Zwelithini as they grew up together.
He led preparation for the late Kingâs burial as well as cleansing rituals for the Chief.
Royal Family spokesperson Prince Thulani Zulu said the family was still going to meet to discuss funeral arrangements.
