Queen Nozizwe KaMulela's latest news
Queen Nozizwe's marriage to King Misuzulu has reportedly been on the rocks. According to Sunday World, the union was severely strained and had to be brought to the attention of King Misuzulu's uncle, King Mswati III of Eswatini.
The AmaZulu royal house has not commented on the issue to avoid drawing negative attention to the new monarch. According to royal insider information, the Zulu King wants to end the marriage.
The problem is the king has completely lost interest in rekindling the relationship with the queen. So, he wants out completely from the relationship. The elders have tried to intervene, but it seems the relationship cannot be saved.
Queen Nozizwe KaMulela was well-established career-wise before joining the Zulu royal family. She continues to use her success in the corporate world and her deep-rooted traditional values to empower women and the youth.
