PRESIDENT Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday recognised King-elect Prince Misuzulu Sinqobile Zulu as the King of AmaZulu Kingdom.
This follows the passing of King Goodwill Zwelithini Zulu in March last year and the subsequent passing away of the Regent, Queen Mantfombi Dlamini, in April.
Ramaphosa said that in terms of Section 8(3)(a) and (b) of the Traditional and Khoi-San Leadership Act, 2019, he recognised Prince Misuzulu as King of AmaZulu flagship.
“In terms of the requirements of the Act, the Royal Family identified Prince Misuzulu Singqobile Zulu as the person who qualifies in terms of customary law and customs to assume the position of King and applied to the President for his recognition,” the Presidency said in a statement.
“As required by the Act, the recognition of the King-Elect by the President follows consultations with the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs and the Premier of KwaZulu-Natal.”
