THE northern KwaZulu-Natal town of Nongoma has ground to a complete standstill as thousands of Zulu regiments and maidens march through the town as they prepare to accompany the body of King Goodwill Zwelithini KaBhekuzulu to KwaKhethomthandayo Royal Palace.
His Majesty, who succumbed to diabetes aged 72 at the Chief Albert Luthuli Hospital on Friday, will be buried by men only in a private ceremony at midnight going into the early hours of Thursday morning.
Clad in their colourful Zulu traditional costumes the regiments and maidens took over the town’s solitary main road singing traditional songs and dances to the cheers of scores of people who have lined up on the sides of the road to watch the march.
