King Misuzulu Zulu Biography

King Misuzulu Zulu is the new king of the Zulu nation of about 11 million people. When his father King Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu died, he was touted at the heir apparent. But since his mother was alive at the time of the late King’s passing, he could not succeed him immediately.

His mother Queen Mantfombi Dlamini-Zulu, the third wife of King Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu, served as regent until her sudden death at the age of 65. Speculations were rife she was poisoned, but the royal palace dismissed this. Her death opened the way for Misuzulu Zulu to become king of the Zulu nation.

Until he ascended the throne, the interest in the then prince wasn’t much. And he appeared to have maintained a low profile. The interest in his person blew up when his late mother’s will was read, indicating he should be king at her death.

With a somewhat laid-back personality and a royal presence, the new king is already winning heart with his demeanor. It remains to be seen how long he’d hold the throne of his ancestors,, compared to his father, who ruled for decades and then died of diabetes complications.

How He became King
