The royal family has repeatedly told the nation that the successor of the king was not known yet, even by the family.
Shamase said although the successor was kept a secret, there were two princes who stood a chance of be named king. “Prince Misuzulu, stands a good chance given his education and how he was brought up. He holds a degree in international studies from the USA. In an era where everything revolves around politics and modernisation, he is a perfect candidate. He is of royal blood and understands cultural practices which can strengthen the Zulu nation. His name which can be loosely translated as ‘strengthening the Zulus’ also tells the King may have seen something on him.
