Buthelezi announces coronation plans for King Misuzulu
AmaZulu Traditional Prime Minister Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi has unveiled the full line-up of plans to mark the coronation of King Misuzulu kaZwelithini.
He says the Zulu monarch will enter a cattle kraal at a royal palace in Nongoma at KwaKhangelamankengane Royal Palace on the 20th of August.
Buthelezi says this coronation ceremony is in line with traditional Zulu practises.
He says Prince Misuzulu needs to perform these rituals to complete his ascendance to the throne and installation as King of the Zulu nation.
"The handing over of a certificate by the President, which is both symbolic and formally required, will take place on a date yet to be determined. It has been agreed between the King and the President that that will be at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.
"On Friday the 29th of July 2022, this agreement between the King and the President was announced to the meeting of the Royal Family about the venue of the handing-over of the certificate by the President to the King, at Moses Mabhida Stadium.
"There were no issues raised either for, or against in view of the previous agreement of the meeting of the Royal Family where the Royal Family had agreed unanimously that the ceremony will be at Enyokeni Palace."
