Late King Goodwill Zwelithini<\/a> married six wives and had at least 28 children, including thirteen daughters, before his demise in March 2021. Among widely known King Zwelithini’s daughters are Princess Ntandoyenkosi, Princess Ntombizosuthu, and Princess Ntandoyesizwe<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the King’s passing, the royal family has been making headlines following an intense succession battle in the Zulu Nation, for which some of King Zwelithini’s daughters have taken the matter to court.<\/p>\n

While Princess Ntandoyenkosi and Princess Ntombizosuthu are insinuating that their father’s will was forged, thus, seeking cancellation in court, other Zulu royals are admonishing for peace to reign in the royal house.<\/p>\n

How Many Daughters Did King Zwelithini Have?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Zulu royal family is arguably the most well-recognized royal family in SA. King Zwelithini, born on July 27th, 1948, welcomed at least 15 sons<\/a> and 13 daughters before his death on March 12th, 2021. His first five wives gave birth to the 13 known Zulu Princesses.<\/p>\n

The sixth wife, Zola Zelusiwe Mafu, to whom the King got betrothed in 2006 and married in 2014, only had one child; a son named Prince Nhlendlayenkosi Zulu. King Zwelithini was the reigning King of the Zulu Nation from 1968 to the time of his death.<\/p>\n

He died from a diabetes-related illness, though his traditional prime minister announced during his funeral preparations that his death was caused by COVID-19. The late King died at 72 and ruled the Zulu Nation for almost 50 years.<\/p>\n
