The coronation of Prince Misuzulu kaZwelithini as king of the Zulu nation will be done 'after the president exhausts processes that are involved'.
However, the judge granted an interdict preventing the execution of the late King Goodwill Zwelithini’s will, the distribution of assets among his wives and children, until the authenticity of the will has been determined by a court after hearing oral evidence from handwriting experts.In January Madondo heard argument in three related applications.
But the judge said the succession issue had nothing to do with the will. This was because the king, in his will, had named Queen Mantfombi Dlamini Zulu, who is considered in Zulu custom to be the “great wife” because she hailed from Eswatini royalty, as his heir. Zikalala said: “With regard to the impact of the judgment I believe the presidency will engage with it and see whether it will and won't impact in the coronation processes.”
