Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi has asserted his place in Zulu royalty, tracing his family’s direct advisory role to the days of King Shaka KaSenzangakhona.

This comes after senior royals this week slated Buthelezi for “meddling” in royal matters and accused him of being the originator of divisions in the family over the succession fight.

“The ceremonies and rituals were led and performed by the core Zulu royal family members,” Prince Mbonisi said.“Among the preposterous claims he makes, Prince Mbonisi claims I am using my political position to create division in the royal family, that I am meddling in the affairs of the royal family, and that the cleansing ceremony taking place this weekend has already taken place.

“His Majesty, King Misuzulu kaZwelithini, as the rightful heir to the Zulu throne, is the only person and rightful authority, as king of the Zulu nation, to lead the ritual hunt. In line with our traditions, this ritual is performed by the king and members of the royal family alone.” Buthelezi hit back at Prince Mbonisi, saying he had a resistance to accepting facts, reality and reason and said misleading the Zulu nation has become his permanent occupation.
