This follows the sudden death of one of his senior advisers, also of suspected poisoning, Chief Buthelezi said.The monarch was currently not in hospital, and "unnecessary panic" should not be created, Prince Africa Zulu said, in what appeared to be an indirect reference to Chief Buthelezi's statement.
His will has also been challenged in court by his first wife, Queen Sibongile Dlamini-Zulu, and her two daughters.There is no suggestion that any members of the royal family are behind King Misuzulu's suspected poisoning.In his statement, Chief Buthelezi said King Misuzulu's senior aide, Douglas Xaba who stayed with him, "passed on quite suddenly and that there are suspicions that he was poisoned"."He immediately sought out medical treatment in Eswatini.
"Should there be any reason for further investigations, that will be attended to by the authorities," Chief Buthelezi said. However, Prince Africa confirmed the monarch had undergone a medical examination in Eswatini while visiting his uncle, King Mswati III. King Misuzulu's mother, Queen Mantfombi Dlamini-Zulu, then became the regent, but she died a month later.At the time, Chief Buthelezi dismissed rumours that she had been poisoned.
