on who takes over the throne. That is according to the University of Western Cape’s Professor Bheki Mngomezulu speaking toPietermaritzburg High Court is hearing an urgent application to halt pre-coronation proceedings for King Misizulu Zulu KaZwelithini in Nongoma.
Mngomezulu has put blamed the confusion around the rightful heir to the kingship on the mixture of western and African traditions. This is what you get when you mix culture that is African tradition and customs and you mix it with Western cultures. You are bound to get this kind of conflict whereby the two don’t mix. Ordinarily, whenever a king has passed on the family would then decide who the next king will be and that has nothing to do with courts and it has nothing to do with government,” says Mngomezulu.
“But then because we are living under the current political dispensation, those processes are then brought together. But we have just seen what the result is, because on the one hand you have a cultural event that is taking place and on the other hand you have a legal process that is looming and this is not supposed to be happening. Because will or no will, the reality of the matter is that the family has to decide who the next heir to the throne will be.
