What next for the Zulu throne?
The Zulu nation is mourning its Queen’s death. But a bitter family feud makes it hard to guess who might be next in line for the throne. So, what happens now?
The Zulu nation is still in shock.
The death of Queen Shiyiwe Mantfombi Dlamini Zulu caught South Africa by surprise.

Problem is: a bitter family feud has made it hard to guess who’ll succeed Queen Mantfombi.
So, what happens now?
