King Misuzulu and Nomzamo Myeni rubbish breakup rumours

IOL reported in February that King Misuzulu and his fiancée Nomzamo Myeni have allegedly fixed their marital challenges.

The pair were spotted attending the opening ceremony of the KwaZulu-Natal legislature earlier this year after their alleged breakup.

Myeni's presence at the ceremony rubbished reports that there was a marital rift between them.

Rumours of the king and Myeni's separation began after the king called off their traditional wedding ceremony towards the end of January.

"Although there was no reason given by the king or the royal family, many people speculated that the royal family was not happy with Myeni as she has children from a previous relationship," reports the publication.

@SandileKaMsibi said:

"If the King Does something: It becomes the culture. Democracy ruined you people. You think you have a say in everything."

@TheWitchetal replied:

"It is also against a royal principles house for him to do that."

@visse_ss said:

"I really miss the late King Goodwill Zwelithini. At least he carried the dignity of the throne with grace. This one is not make sure. It's drama after drama. Where is the stability and leadership the Zulu nation deserves?"

@Remiazania2 replied:

"We miss King Zwelithini in these trying times, where his son, King Misuzulu, has lost respect for Isihlalo sikaZulu."
