Zulu Princess Thembi Zulu-Ndlovu has passed away.
Zulu-Ndlovu was the sister of the late Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu.
The news was confirmed to Weekend Witness by her brother, Prince Mbonisi Zulu on Friday evening.
He said:
Zulu said he would be travelling from Nongoma to Newcastle where the princess took her last breath.
For the past couple of years, Zulu-Ndlovu had been bound to a wheelchair.
Her last public appearance was last weekend in Newcastle where she attended the umembeso ceremony for King Misuzulu kaZwelithini’s bride, Ntokozo Mayisela.
Zulu-Ndlovu was also part of the Zulu Royal faction that was disputing Misizulu’s claim to the throne.
