IN PICS | Businessman Vivian Reddy's luxury hotel opening was event fit for a king

And with a guest list ranging from the new Zulu king making one of his first public appearances to a beauty queen who rankled that giant flagpole-loving minister, mix in the creme of KwaZulu-Natal politics and throw in a couple of reality TV stars then you have the makings of an occasion that’s equal parts sparkly and spicy.

Inside as I check in workers are frantically putting the finishing touches, like unrolling a blue carpet for the gala opening. That’s the IFP’s chief whip, Narend Singh who, with his beautiful wife Manitha, is in conversation with former politician Mpho Scott, who quips he is now “just a businessman”.

Turns out the incoming Zulu king, Misuzulu kaZwelithini brings his own seat to the table when he graces your do. A little while later we make our way to our seats from dinner in the ballroom before the Zulu king makes his entrance, flanked by Viv on one side and the pocket-sized KwaZulu-Natal premier, Sihle Zikalala, on the other.
