South Africa's new King of the Zulus's opublic unveiling ended in chaos as he was whisked away by bodyguards as questions continue over whether he is the rightful heir to the throne.
The controversy over the next king, a largely ceremonial role but one with great significance for South Africa and its 12 million Zulu people, has arisen after the death in March of King Goodwill Zwelithini, who had reigned since 1968.
Zwelithini apparently named one of his six wives, Queen Mantfombi Shiyiwe Dlamini Zulu, as the 'regent of the Zulu kingdom' in his will.

Kings are so 800’s
What is “Who build the pyramids” for $500 dollars?
Here come the Zulu quotes!
If any possible challenges come up on this guy....the region goes into chaos and potential civil war. It wouldn’t shock me to see South Africa broke into three or four ‘empires’ in five years.
1964 British movie Zulu with Michael Caine is excellent.
Oh yes I have seen that. From what I read, they used actual Zulu warriors.
True Men of Harlech!
28 children from multiple wives, I bet family gatherings are a real bitch and when did the guy have time to be king with all those wives and children running around
Did this happen in South Africa or was it Baltimore??
Easy solution to settle the dispute: All are allowed to settle in the U.S. Welfare freely available upon request.
Not applicable to South African Whites.
Remember the “Little Lulu” cartoons’ theme song?
Last verse:
“Though you’re wild as any Zulu
And you’re just as hard to tame
Little Lulu I love you-lu just the same”
Not going to see that one on TV anymore, for sure.
Too bad, really - one of my all-time favorites was “Swingin’ on a Star” song in this one:

Is there a difference...
Yes, it was. The actor who portrayed Shaka did angry insanity well.
Multiple wives? I detect an actual patriarchy.
multiple wives mean multiple mothers in law.
No thanks.
I think the film was based on the Brits’ stand at “Rorkes’s Drift” by A Greaves
It was an amazing fight. And the film you mentioned was pretty close to the facts.
“1964 British movie Zulu with Michael Caine is excellent.”
Thanks for the tip, I’m going to watch that tonight. Being from 1964, I suspect there won’t be much ‘woke’ in it.
