King Misuzulu has called off his wedding to his third wife Nomzamo Myeni which was set to take place on 26 January.
The decision comes after the Zulu king’s first wife Queen Ntokozo kaMayisela filed urgent court papers to interdict the wedding.
KING MISUZULU CALLS OFF HIS WEDDING TO NOMZAMO MYENI
In a letter to the director-general in the office of the premier in KwaZulu-Natal Misuzulu said due to reasons beyond the control of the royal house, the traditional ceremonies involving Myeni have been called off.
“As a result, it has become necessary to terminate all associated arrangements. The following actions must be implemented without delay: effective immediately, any benefits, allowances or privileges granted to Myeni must be ceased. Secondly, the security detail assigned to Myeni is to be withdrawn by no later than 11:00 on Sunday, 19 January,” the king said.
King Misuzulu paid lobola for Myeni in May 2024 at a ceremony held in Makhonyeni Village in Jozini, north of KwaZulu-Natal.
KING FILES FOR DIVORCE
Earlier this month, African Times, reported that king Misuzulu has filed for divorce from one of his wives at the Pietermaritzburg High Court in KwaZulu-Natal.
Court documents obtained by the publication indicated that the monarch initiated the proceedings due to an irreparable breakdown in his marriage.
As part of the divorce settlement, the king proposed paying his wife monthly maintenance of R20 000 for one year following the finalisation of the divorce.
The documents further indicate that the king and his estranged wife have lived apart for over a year.
