Members of the AmaZulu royal family who support Prince Simakade Zulu have expressed their disappointment in the Supreme Court of Appeals judgement, which overturned a High Court order invalidating President Cyril Ramaphosas recognition of King Misuzulu kaZwelithini.
The president had appealed the judgement, arguing that he acted lawfully in recognising the king.
Zwelithinis eldest son, Prince Simakade, believes he is the rightful heir to the AmaZulu throne and not his brother, King Misuzulu.
