A white Gauteng woman shot her shot at the reigning king of the Zulu nation, King Misuzulu kaZwelithini, saying she wants to be his “first white Zulu queen”.

As King Misuzulu took the throne at the weekend, the woman identified as Amelia said she was there in the hope that the king would take her as his wife.

Misuzulu’s ukungena esibayeni (the entering of the kraal ceremony) took place in the kraal built in KwaKhangelamankengane Royal Palace in Nongoma, KwaZulu-Natal.

“I heard the king is going to come here today, so I wondered maybe he’s looking for a wife. I don’t know if he’s going to watch this, then he must just know I am here. I want to be the first white queen of SA, the first white Zulu queen,” she told eNCA at the ceremony.

The woman’s request received some warm responses online, with many praising her for not “beating around the bush”.

King Misuzulu succeeds his late father King Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu, who died last year. He was formally recognised as Zulu king by President Cyril Ramaphosa in March.

The traditional ceremony marks the acceptance of Misuzulu as the rightful heir to the throne after months of bitter succession battles and attempted court interdicts.
