EDITORIAL | Agendas and egos threaten the vital Zulu monarchyThe scenes that have played out since the fall of King Goodwill Zwelithini and Queen Mantfombi could topple a legacy No legacy being toppled here. The legendary King Shaka was killed by his own brother, his legacy was not diminished. Mcwayizeni had to be forced out of his regency for king Goodwill to lead.
