WATCH: King Misuzulu in lion hunt ahead of entering kraal ritual this weekend

Nongoma - Amid a challenge from some of his brothers over the Zulu throne, King Misuzulu KaZwelithini successfully completed one of the most important aspects of entering the kraal ritual by bringing home a lion on Thursday night. The king brought home the much-feared wild animal just after 7pm on Thursday night, much to the joy of those present at KwaKhangelamankengane Palace in Nongoma. The palace has been a hive of activity throughout the week as the king is expected to perform the entering of the kraal ritual this weekend. The king led a royal hunt to the privately owned Mkuze falls game reserve to hunt for the lion. King Misuzulu will wear the lion’s skin on Saturday when he enters the sacred kraal, the last traditional rite before he is coronated as the Zulu King in Durban next month.
