King misuzulu kazwelithini
Prince Simakade traditionally crowned as King of the Zulus by family faction
This despite other members of the royal house and government officially recognising his brother King Misuzulu as leader.
The event is expected to be attended by members of the AmaZulu royal family and other royal houses.
This revelation was made by King Misuzulu’s uncle, Prince Mbonisi KaBhekuzulu, who detailed the alleged incident in an explosive affidavit that was filed with the Pretoria High Court last week.
In March, this year the court granted the green light for then nominated King Misuzulu to be crowned.
Misuzulu was officially recognised on Wednesday in terms of the Traditional and Khoi-San Leadership Act.
The late king's will left the throne to his wife Queen Mantfombi Dlamini of KwaKhangelamaNkengane royal palace however, she nominated her first-born son Misuzulu, instead.
Although his son Misuzulu was nominated king, the late king has not officially been replaced yet.
On Thursday, Zulu arrived late for the State of the Province Address in Pietermaritzburg and his entrance caused the speaker of the house to ask Premier Sihle Zikalala to pause his address.
This comes after the High Court in Pietermaritzburg dismissed with costs an application brought by some members of the royal household to prevent the nominated king from addressing the historic event celebration.
This will be the first time King Misuzulu kaZwelithini addresses the celebration that had been headed by his late father King Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu.
Some members of the AmaZulu royal house sought a court interdict to prevent the prince from speaking as king at the event in the province.
Two matters are linked with the late King Goodwill Zwelithini’s will, the other matter involves an interdict to prevent an alleged secret coronation of Misuzulu kaZwelithini, who was announced as king.
Regiments, led by leaders, including senior princes Vanana of the KwaMinyamanzi royal palace, say King Misuzulu is the rightful heir.
Judge Isaac Masondo, who is also the Deputy Judge President in KwaZulu-Natal, presided over the marriage of the late amaZulu monarch King Goodwill Zwelithini with Queen Zola Mafu in 2014.
The party said disciplinary action would be taken against a member who published an image of the king in a social media infographic, insisting that the party did not sanction it.
The Zulu nation anticipates the coronation of King Misuzulu kaZwelithini but disputes between royal family members have caused delays.
To believe in tradition or to find value in what tradition is does not mean to be stuck in the past, writes Mcebo Dlamini.
The siblings of the late King Goodwill Zwelithini have questioned the legitimacy of their nephew as the rightful successor.
In papers seen by Eyewitness News, King Misuzulu kaZwelithini's lawyers have legally notified Queen Sibongile Dlamini that they want her marriage to the late AmaZulu King Goodwill Zwelithini declared null and void.
