Prince Simakade is today expected to enter the Royal Kraal at Enyokeni Palace in Nongoma, a week before King Misuzulu performs the same ritual next week

Prince Simakade is expected to enter the royal kraal at Enyokeni palace in Nongoma. 

A move seen somehow as undermining King #Misuzulu kaZwelithini's ceremony which will be held next week. 

Newzroom Afrika reporter Linda Mnisi has the latest. Prince Mandlakapheli tells @IOL that Prince Simakade will from today, after entering the kraal, be King of the Zulu nation and all Zulus will eventually shift their allegiance to him - away from King Misuzulu KaZwelithini. 

He says they will fund him until govt steps in.

Information reads: "Today, the first son and child of late King Zwelithini, Prince Simakade uzobe engena esibayeni 

"Few days from now uMisuzulu kaZwelithini the first son and child of the late King and Queen MaNtfombi will also do the same, uzongena esibayeni

That's the situation currently..."
