Indlunkulu is Queen Nontokozo kaMayisela of Pietermaritzburg, KZN, the second wife is Queen Nozizwe Mulela kaMakhubu of Eswatini.
Earlier this year, KZN premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube announced the province’s plan to build the new king a palace fit for him as KwaKhangelamankengana is where his late mother, Queen Mantfombi Shiyiwe Dlamini-Zulu, was laid to rest.
“We are encouraged at the continuation of the cordial and professional relations that exist between our government and his majesty, the king,” said Dube-Ncube.
“As we did with the late king, we continue to provide administrative and logistical support for the reigning monarch. In consultation with his majesty, we are finalising plans to build a new palace for the king in Nongoma.”
King Misuzulu’s third wife, Nomzamo, may very well have her royal household established there.
