In a shocking turn of events, Queen Nomzamo kaMyeni, the third wife of King Misuzulu kaZwelithini, has been hospitalized after reportedly suffering a stroke linked to an alleged overdose. This incident comes on the heels of the king’s decision to cancel their planned wedding, citing “pressing national matters”.
The wedding cancellation was reportedly due to the king’s first wife, Queen Ntokozo Mayisela, contesting the union in court. Mayisela argued that their civil marriage prevented the king from marrying again, but the Pietermaritzburg High Court ruled in favor of the traditional ceremony. The court’s decision meant the king was free to proceed with his plans, but he ultimately chose not to.
Sources close to the royal family suggest Queen Nomzamo may have taken a significant amount of medication, raising concerns about a potential suicide attempt. The king’s office has confirmed her hospitalization, stating she’s receiving treatment for a stroke. Family members and those close to the queen are deeply concerned about her physical and emotional well-being.
Meanwhile, King Misuzulu has been spotted with his new bride-to-be, Princess Sihle Mdluli, in Mpumalanga. Reports also indicate he attempted to withdraw Queen Nomzamo’s state-funded security detail, leaving her to live alone in uPhongolo. This series of events has sparked questions about the king’s priorities and the future of his relationships within the royal family.
In an effort to make amends, the king reportedly sent a delegation with a cow to the Myeni family as an apology. However, this gesture may be too little, too late, as Queen Nomzamo’s loved ones claim she’s been profoundly affected by the recent developments. The situation remains complex, with many wondering what the future holds for the royal couple and the Zulu nation.
