Royal decorum has been thrown out of the window and it is now open war among Zulu royalty. That's the observation of the nation's prime minister, Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi.

Buthelezi on Thursday revealed that a meeting between warring factions did not go ahead because he advised against it. He said Prince Misuzulu had notified him that Princess Nombuso of KwaKhethomthandayo had asked to see him.

“In light of the present litigation, His Majesty King Misuzulu was compelled to decline travelling to KwaKhethomthandayo royal palace yesterday [Wednesday] to meet Princess Nombuso, who is among those contesting his authority. As the matter is sub judice, the law prevents such meetings from taking place,” Buthelezi said.

It was also at this event where members of the royal family, including the late king's siblings Prince Mbonisi and Princess Thembi, said the family was only now ready to discuss succession. “Princess Thembi accused me of preventing His Majesty from meeting his sister. She implied that I am separating the two and questioned my motive in doing so, as though I am the reason for the friction in the royal family.”whom Buthelezi has consistently referred to as the kingButhelezi added that legal counsel representing the prince had lauded his advice.
