Queen Mdolomba, real name Nomzamo Myeni, shared what would become her final TikTok post on 5 July 2026. In the video, she sat alongside her husband, King Misizulu of the Zulu nation, at a royal ceremony held in KwaZulu-Natal, as a praise singer honoured the king before a gathered crowd. The post, originally captured earlier, showed the couple in formal traditional attire. At the time, there was nothing unusual about it.

Videos later spread across social media showing King Misizulu appearing intoxicated and chasing the queen out of their home while directing insults at her. The queen herself acknowledged in online videos that the footage reflected the life she had been living behind palace walls.
