King Goodwill Zwelithini Will & Sucession
Ntombizosuthu Zulu-Duma and her sister Ntandoyenkosi Zulu applied for an interdict to stop the coronation process of Prince Misuzulu Zulu. They claimed that the will of the late King Goodwill Zwelithini, who died in March 2021, was forged.
In a ruling on 2 March 2021, KwaZulu-Natal High Court Judge Isaac Madondo ordered that the coronation of Prince Misuzulu KaZwelithini could go ahead.
Madondo said that although the princesses sought to halt the coronation process, they had not disputed that members of the royal family had elected Prince Misuzulu as Zulu king.
The princesses, however, successfully suspended the execution of King Zwelithini's will, pending a trial that would ascertain its validity. The interdict would last 15 days before it lapsed.
Two experts testified about the will, but their views were conflicting.
The court also dismissed Queen Sibongile Dlamini's application to have 50% of the late King Goodwill Zwelithini's will set aside for herself.[3]
