KZN Premier says govt will support divided Zulu Royal Family despite infighting, legal battles
Share
Nongoma - KZN Premier Sihle Zikalala has confirmed that his office has been served with court papers by lawyers representing King Goodwill Zwelithiniâs first wife, Queen Sibongile Dlamini and her two daughters, Princess Ntandoyenkosi Zulu and Princess Ntombizosuthu Zulu-Duma.
The court action, along with infighting linked with the succession battle in the Zulu Royal Family, has left the monarch divided.
Queen Sibongile and her two daughters, want to interdict the execution of the kingâs will. They argue that his will was forged.
Separately, the queen who married the king in 1969 through a civil union, contests that she is the senior wife, and as such, she wants 50% of the kingâs estate and the other half to be shared by the other five wives and their 26 surviving children.
