Africa Daily

Available for over a year

The Zulu nation is still in shock. The death of Queen Shiyiwe Mantfombi Dlamini Zulu caught South Africa by surprise. She became leader of the Zulu nation last month, after her husband, King Goodwill Zwelithini, died. The Zulu royals have no formal political power, but remain hugely influential figures. For that reason, deciding who’s next in line for the throne is actually a big deal. Problem is: a bitter family feud has made it hard to guess who’ll succeed Queen Mantfombi. So, what happens now?
