Because they maintain that Misuzulu KaZwelithini was not destined to be proclaimed the king of the Zulu country, the supporters of Prince Simakade are adamant that they will continue to fight for the throne even if they believe they have lost.
These supporters of Prince Simakade addressed the media in Durban, and a spokesperson for the Prince stated that the battle for the Zulu throne is not over, and that the coronation of King Misuzulu, which took place in Durban, means nothing to them. This statement was made by these supporters of Prince Simakade.
“We have only just started out on our journey. Everyone saw what took place at the coronation, and everyone agreed that the game was ended after seeing what happened. We would like to make it clear to everyone that the dispute over the throne has not been resolved at this time. As a member of the royal family, I can assure you that this is only the beginning “he remarked.
When President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the coronation date without first attempting to resolve the succession question, several members of the Zulu royal household accused him of intervening in the disagreement and accused him of trying to decide who would become king. They all agreed that no politician should get involved in any of the matters involving the royal family.
Despite the fact that King Misuzulu extended an olive branch to his brother Prince Simakade for a long time, he is not willing to make peace with the situation. The goal of Simakade and his allies is to win the throne, and they have stated that they will not give up the struggle.
Those who back Prince Simakade, on the other hand, have distanced themselves from claims that the death of close allies of King Misuzulu is connected to the ongoing succession conflict.
The assassinations of individuals who had close relations to King Misuzulu, according to what they said, are not a part of their campaign for the throne. The group has dissociated themselves from the criminal activity and has demanded a comprehensive inquiry by the authorities.
