King Misuzulu kaZwelithini of South Africa has encountered legal challenges regarding his intention to marry Nomzamo Myeni, as his first wife, Queen Ntokozo kaMayisela, tried to block the union in court. However, her efforts fell flat when the judge ruled against her petition. While reports initially suggested the wedding would be canceled due to unforeseen circumstances, conflicting statements from the bride-to-be have left the situation unclear.
King Misuzulu married Queen Ntokozo in a civil ceremony in 2021, and under South African law, he could only take additional wives if the current marriage was ended or converted to a traditional one. The court ruling deemed that the queen's prior consent to polygamy invalidated her opposition to the wedding. Despite claims of cancellation, the bride expressed her belief that the marriage would go forward, while the king reportedly asserted he would marry her "by force."
The king's reign has been marred by controversy, including decisions that have raised eyebrows and a questionable legal case challenging his status as monarch. The landscape of Zulu royalty remains in flux as King Misuzulu navigates the complexities of tradition, love, and leadership.
