There seems to be turbulence that may disturb the proceedings of the wedding preparations, as the first wife of the Zulu King Misuzulu KaZwelithini seeks court interdict.
With the King set to marry his third wife, Nomzamo Myeni in a planned two-day traditional ceremony towards the end of January, his first wife Queen Ntokozo KaMayisela Zulu approached the Pietermaritzburg High Court in pursuit of an interdict to halt the wedding.
In her application, the Queen said she is married to the King in community of property in a civil marriage. She also confirmed that her husband has served her with divorce papers, however, she made it clear that the King can’t tie the knot while their marriage still subsists.
In the interdict filed, the Queen said: “I further confirm that my husband has begun making arrangements to marry the said woman and has even set a date for the said wedding ceremony and/or marriage.” She also said the Zulu King cannot enter a civil marriage or a customary marriage whilst married in a civil marriage.
The Queen made it clear that should King Misuzulu get married he would be committing bigamy, which is a punishable offence in SA, and such marriages are considered null and void.
