Something very significant from the marriage of late King Zwelithini and Queen Mantfombi Dlamini, the mother of the Zulu King, King MisuZulu.
The Queen advised the late King that he must take a youngest wife from eSwatini and as a Queen she will go and get the wife for the late King.
Clearly the two knew that other wives do not like Queen Mantfombi Dlamini and Her Children, and they knew if they were to pass away, their children would struggle and be treated unfairly or else isolated.
This simply means the other wives of the late King were never genuine to the King and they never supported His marriage with the late Queen Mantfombi Dlamini, and that today was revealed after all other wives of the late King did not attend today’s ceremony but only Queen Zola Zelusiwe Mafu who attended the ceremony.
If you follow the story of Queen Zola Zelusiwe Mafu, you will agree with me that indeed the late King and Queen Mantfombi Dlamini knew all that is currently happening today and they prepared for it.
Queen Zola Zelusiwe Mafu wathwalwa or whisked away by late Queen Mantfombi Dlamini from a farm and she stayed 10 years in Kwakhangela Palace with the late Queen Mantfombi Dlamini before she got married to the late King Zwelithini.
Meaning she was groomed to look after Queen Mantfombi Dlamini’s children, the heir, his 3 brothers and sister and Queen Zola Zelusiwe Mafu today did exactly that and she was the only mother to the King, his brothers and sister who attended today’s ceremony.
Queen Mantfombi Dlamini shows that she was a very strong wife, very smart and very useful to the King and the Zulu Nation while Queen Zola Zelusiwe Mafu showed us what loyalty is and you don’t just show loyalty when people you claim to love are still alive but you show loyalty even in death.
Again today’s ceremony exposed the pros and cons of polygamy. It reaffirm my strongest belief that people agree to polygamy for financial benefits and status.
It is not genuine love and not that people agree to get involved in polygamous marriage but they are getting to it for all wrong reasons, particular in our country.
Again the Swazi women outsmarted our local women in this case and showed us that they were loyal to our late King and to the Zulu nation.
The two Queens, the late Queen Mantfombi Dlamini and Queen Zola Zelusiwe Mafu made sure they fulfilled their task and gave birth to a King for our late King and the Zulu nation.
They were to fulfill this mission and they have fulfilled it with distinction. Indeed the late Queen Mantfombi Dlamini and the late King Zwelithini loved the Zulu nation and they were loyal to the throne.
In addition
To the people and the youth of our country, let’s visit our royal monarchies, spend time with our elders, ask questions and be willing to learn. Let us be students of our culture and heritage.
If you are a Zulu, visit the Zulu monarchy and all other royal monarchies in our country. I grew up as a curious child who always wanted to learn from the elders.
Learning my culture and other cultures. Visiting different monarchs and asking questions to gain knowledge.
While learning about our diversified culture and history, also empower yourselves with all reading materials at your disposal for acquiring more knowledge about our African culture.
I support all our Monarchies and I love them all together. To me there’s no better monarchy than the other as our country got different monarchs from different royal houses.
Those who know me will let you know that I was spearheading the campaign for the release of AbaThembu King, His Majesty King Dalindyebo and I conducted many interviews justifying my position that our monarchs must be granted sovereign immunity and arresting a King or Queen is a shame.
During the death of Xhosa King, the late King Zwelonke, I educated people about the Xhosa royal monarchy, same with the death of many royal monarchies.
I’m doing all this because our young people are obsessed by the glamour and extravagance of the British royal family.
Compatriots, Comrades and friends I like our history and reminding you about the beauty of our history.
My posts were not meant to promote Zulu royal family infighting but to show my love for our culture as African people.
I am an African and I’m a leader of society, therefore promoting divisions among our people is the last thing. Mine is the unity of all of us Africans, regardless of ethnicity, religion, race and class.
I love our Kings and Queens unconditionally, the rain Queen, the Xhosa King, Rharhabe King, amaMpondo King, amaBhaca King, baPedi Regent, Tsonga King, Ndebele King, Thembu King, the Zulu King including the eSwatini King and Lesotho King.
It is very unfortunate that many believe I’m being paid to promote King MisuZulu, it is incorrect. I’m not a tribalist, therefore I support all our Monarchies regardless of the nation.
I like giving my opinions, sharing my historical facts and letting people engage. If we can not engage each other with respect when we are discussing our culture, history and heritage, we must know the enemy has won.
One of the greatest successes of colonialism was to refuse the unity of Black people and make us savages who can not engage one but fight one another.
We might deny this historical fact, settler colonial masters survived in making us fail to engage without insulting and fighting one another based on our ethnic groups.
Those who know me will tell you that I love cultural revolution and linguistic revolution. As I strongly believe it is based on our cultures that we will be totally free.
Cultural identity and linguistic freedom is a progressive step to total decolonization. Unfortunately as umXhosa I can’t use isiXhosa because I have friends from different backgrounds and speak different languages.
The truth of the matter the Zulu nation do not own their King, His Majesty King MisuZulu is our King too, just like Xhosa nation can’t not own King Ahlangene Vulikhaya Sigcawu as he is our King, no nation or tribe can claim its Monarchy as those Monarchies are our monarchs too.
Isi Xhosa sithi sonke siyazalana (Africans are related), indeed it is true siyazalana. In fact all Africans got Royal blood within themselves, it’s either in the maternal side or in the side of your father.
The unity of Africa won’t start by opening borders but first embracing each other and loving each other as people of ethnic groups. You do not need to be umXhosa to understand the Xhosa history nor do you need to be Pedi to understand the Pedi or amaHlubi history.
To prove that the Xhosa idiom is correct that indeed “sonke siyazalana” (We are related), my father is coming from the Xesibe clan, while his mother was from the nation of Amampondomise, from the maternal side my mother is a daughter of Subhuza the son of King Sobhuza 1, and her mother who is my grandmother was from Buthelezi.
That simply means we must tolerate one another’s views. I share what I know and you share what you know but please do not hearsay but do proper research before you disagree with your fellow brother and sister.
Do not try to block me because I am not a Venda or Zulu by using arguments such as “Do not talk about Zulu affairs you are not Zulu” by doing that you did not win but the oppressor won.
Do not forget to attend the coronation of His Majesty King MisuZulu Sinqobile Ka Zwelithini in Moses Mabhida Stadium. Let’s meet at Mabhida , sons and daughters of the soil.
Let’s protect our monarchs, our monarchs are our treasurer.
