In his affidavit supporting King Misuzulu’s application to void the marriage, Buthelezi substantially said the December 27, 1969 civil rites marriage between the late king and the first queen was a mere formality. RoyalFamily ZuluNation
However, in one of her affidavits, she contested that by marrying the late king, the other queens knew that their marriages would one day encounter legal hurdles as the king was married to her in civil rites and was legally not allowed to marry them.
Furthermore, King Misuzulu said Yossi Vissoker, the handwriting expert hired by the two princesses, did not attach his CV in his report for the court where he said the late king’s signature was forged. As such, they argued his report should not be considered at all as his credentials are not known. “It is for this reason that King Misuzulu has launched a conditional counter-application for a declaration that the applicant queen and the late king were married by customary rite prior to 27 December 1969. I support that application as one that is consonant with Zulu customary law and customs,” Buthelezi said in his affidavit.
“The royal family accepted this request and as a result, we got married by civil law. I must dispel this myth and notion that Prince Buthelezi wants to create that once lobola is negotiated and paid the parties are precluded from entering into a civil marriage, that is simply incorrect.
