King Goodwill Zwelithini led a life full of twists and turns 15 March 2021 - 11:10 By Sam Mathe Despite his aristocratic bearing, King Goodwill Zwelithini was also a ruler at home with ordinary people. He was reportedly in the habit of driving himself around in the countryside without bodyguards. Image: Eldridge Le Kay
In 2011 the KwaZulu-Natal provincial government celebrated the 40th anniversary of King Goodwill Zwelithini’s reign as the traditional leader of the 11-million strong Zulu people. Not a cent was spared for the celebrations, as his subjects expressed their love, respect and appreciation for the longest reigning monarch in Zulu history, a record previously held by his forebear, Mpande kaSenzangakhona (1798-1872), the root on which the Zulu royal dynasty grew. A successor of his brothers Shaka and Dingaan, he sat on the Zulu throne from 1840 and reigned for just over 30 years.
