King Misuzulu kaZwelithini, King of the Zulu Nation, is homeless and living in a bed and breakfast because no official residence is ready for him.
MisMuzu has been on the throne for four months – even though he has not officially been crowned.
A royal family source told Scroll. Africa that the plan now is to give him a temporary residence at the old KwaZulu Minister’s residence.
“He has been at the bed and breakfast in Mkhuze for more than four months since he was pronounced King. The problem is he can’t stay there because the grave of his mother, the late Queen Mantfombi MaDlamini Zulu, is there”, said a royal family source.
It is a cultural practice that the Zulu King cannot reside at any residence where there is a grave.
“He can’t even attend funerals for family members,” said a member of the royal family.
The King is now living in a BnB at uMkhuze. It is not clear who is paying the bills since King Misuzulu’s kingship is not yet official.
