DURBAN - ZULU King Misuzulu kaZwelithini would be compelled by culture to get married before he could officially issue royal orders.
This is according to a culture and history expert, Jabulani Maphalala.
Unless extraordinary circumstances did not permit it, Zulu culture dictated that a king could only be recognised officially once he was married, said Maphalala, who is professor emeritus at the University of Zululand and current chairperson of the ad hoc panel considering the Vatsonga kingship claim.
University of KwaZulu-Natal senior lecturer Dr Gugu Mazibuko concurred, saying that if a king was not married it would be difficult for senior married elders to respect his orders.
