PIETERMARITZBURG—South Africans slammed Queen Ntokozo kaMayisela Zulu's attempt to prevent King Misuzulu from marrying Nomzamo Myeni, which has hit a snag. The Pietermaritzburg High Court dismissed her application with costs.

What did the judge say?

According to SABC, Judge Bongani Mngadi said the Queen's application lacked urgency. His ruling was supported by a letter that Queen Ntokozo wrote to the Roay family, requesting their assistance. The letter clarifies that she has no issue with King Misuzulu marrying another wife. She wanted to resolve the hurdle of them being married in a civil union.
