KZN Premier Sihle Zikalala says the security detail for King Misuzulu kaZwelithini was never withdrawn.
He made the statement after visiting the king in Nongoma.
Zikalala said the KZN government would fulfil its mandate and support the royal household.
KwaZulu-Natal Premier Sihle Zikalala met with Zulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini and said the security concerns, which persisted last week, had now been resolved.
"There were reports of the withdrawal of security and all issues. We wanted to confirm for ourselves that there is no such thing," Zikalala told the media on Thursday.
Concerns were raised shortly after King Misuzulu was announced as the successor to his late father, King Goodwill Zwelithini.
