Queen Sibongile Winifred Zulu and daughters say his affidavits regarding late king’s affairs are an ‘act of desperation’

Queen Sibongile Winifred Zulu says her marriage to late king Goodwill Zwelithini is the only legally binding union.Queen Sibongile Winifred Zulu, the first wife of late king Goodwill Zwelithini, who is laying claim to half his estate by virtue of being married, civilly, in community of property, says “the reality is that the other queens made a choice to get involved with someone who was already married”.

King Misuzulu kaZwelithini has launched a counter-application, seeking to declare the civil marriage, which took place in December 1959, null and void.In it, he says Queen Sibongile Winifred Zulu cannot now, 50 years on, “wish away” the king’s other wives and that the civil marriage, concluded after the traditional ceremony, was “irrelevant” and an “exercise in futility”.

Queen Sibongile Winifred Zulu says it is “shameful to witness the antics of Buthelezi, a respected statesman, an elderly man with his household, dragging himself and challenging a marriage of another man. It is an unprecedented act of desperation.” She says Buthelezi contends that should her court application succeed, it will “denude the other queens of their dignity”.But turn the question around ... is it not denuding my dignity to ignore my marital regime and subject me to practices that I did not sign up for?

I'm happy to join those who are sharing the good news about shantelll_142 . I'm not persuading anyone to trade with her but i advise every investor to make the right choice with shantelll_142 i got my withdrawal safely without any interruption.

If the late king had a civil marriage with his first wife then I’m sorry, Queen Sibongile is right. All subsequent ‘marriages’ ain’t valid.
