The 65-year-old queen and regent died on 30 April, weeks after she was named interim successor to Goodwill Zwelithini, the longest-serving leader of South Africaâs largest ethnic group.
Zwelithini passed away on 12 March at 72 following a battle with a diabetes-related illness. He had spent half a century on the throne. He left behind six wives and 28 children â setting up a turbulent succession battle.
I âhereby nominate and appoint Misuzulu Zulu ⦠as my successor to the throneâ, said the late queenâs will, read out by advocate Griffiths Madonsela.
The letter that bequeathed the monarchy to her first son was dated 23 March, a day before she was named regent.
