Estranged Zulu Queen Challenges Misuzulu’s Marriage in Court
Queen Ntokozo kaMayisela, the second wife of Zulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini, has filed an urgent court application to prevent the king from marrying a third wife, Nomzamo KaMyeni, later this month.
In her application, Queen kaMayisela asserts that her civil marriage to King Misuzulu remains legally binding, and any subsequent marriage would constitute bigamy under South African law.
She emphasizes that while she does not oppose the king taking another wife, such actions must adhere to proper procedures and respect Zulu customary practices.
This legal action follows reports that King Misuzulu has initiated divorce proceedings against Queen kaMayisela, citing an irretrievable breakdown of their marriage.
