The Zulu Royal Family court dispute

Loading player...
The high-profile Zulu royal family court eventually got under way at the Pietermaritzburg High Court on Tuesday morning, but not without glitches. However, the legal team of the main applicant, Queen Sibongile Dlamini-Zulu, kicked off the matter under protest, alerting the court that they intend to investigate the possibility of having the presiding Judge, Isaac Madondo, recused. To help us understand the dispute and its causes, we are joined by Professor Chitja Twala a historian, and Mpumelelo Zikalala, a Legal Expert who has been following the case.
