Zulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini’s decision to divorce his first wife, Queen Ntokozo kaMayisela, has shocked South Africa, challenging deeply rooted traditions that do not recognize royal divorce. While polygamy is customary, cultural experts emphasize that wives are typically retained within the royal household even if a marriage fails. The king, who ascended the throne in 2021 amid legal disputes over succession, has a turbulent personal life, with reports of marital struggles and alleged affairs.

His unprecedented legal move has ignited public debate, breaking the silence around royal separations.
