Mandla J Radebe writes that celebrity journalists emerged in the coverage of the funerals of King Goodwill Zwelithini and Queen regent Mantfombi, and a blind eye was turned to the social ills affecting the people of Nongoma.
In all the entertainment that comes with how former IFP president Mangosuthu Buthelezi answers questions at press conferences, it is sometimes easy for a key and central message to be lost, writes S'thembiso Msomi.
Ntokozo Mayisela (36).
The photographs of the future wife of the new Zulu King, Misuzulu kaZwelithini, has been made public after searches for her pictures on social media have produced the wrong queen-to-be.
On Saturday the family of Ntokozo Mayisela (36) who is rumoured to be on the verge of marrying the new Zulu King, sent
The Witness her photographs. As a family we were becoming worried because people were publishing photographs of other people and claiming that it was that of Ntokozo, her sister, Lungi Mayisela said.
King Misuzulu kaZwelithini, who over a week ago was announced as the late Zulu King, Goodwill Zwelithini s successor, has already paid ilobolo for Ntokozo.

This year s royal allocation is about R5 million less than last year s amount.
Zikalala says the reduced budget will still be enough for the new Zulu Kin to carry out his duties and to cover events. This seeks to ensure that we provide support of the hosting of the annual traditional and cultural events. We also coordinate the King s Coronation Day, the prayers that are held at the royal house and we will also support other cultural activities including Umkhosi weSivivane, King Shaka, Umkhosi Womhlanga and Heritage events.
