File image.Senior Zulu royal family members have — for the first time — pointed the finger at Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi as the alleged architect of the chaos that has engulfed the family since the death of King Goodwill Zwelithini.
They are the three surviving blood brothers of the late King Goodwill Zwelithini KaBhekuzulu and members of the royal council — a structure formed by the late king to lead the royal family. “When the core family has decided, then the throne is cleansed and nobody can be called a king until such a process has been followed,” is how he explained succession. The royals said while they disagreed with the manner in which the process was handled and thus challenged it in court, it was in fact Buthelezi who had encroached on royal matters and caused divisions and disunity.
