King MisuZulu's lux lifestyle: Zulu people to donate monthly?
King MisuZulu has shut down 'fake news' reports that he has asked Zulu people to make monthly monetary contributions towards the upkeep of his estate. The funding proposal follows reports that the KwaZulu-Natal Treasury has blocked additional funding for the Royal Household's annual Reed Dance festival after the king announced that it would relocate from its original venue of Enyokeni royal palace to the new Mashobeni palace. The 50-year-old is the son and heir of the late King Goodwill Zwelethini. He was has access to seven royal palaces, excluding one that is set to be built in Ballito. In several media reports, advisors to the Royal Household called on Zulu people in South Africa and around the world to pledge R10 each month towards the upkeep of King MisuZulu and his estate. The advisors questioned where the taxes paid by Zulu people had been used. They also accused the provincial government of disrespecting their cultural and traditional obligations. However, King MisuZulu and the Royal Household have since denied reports. An official Facebook post read, 'Stop this fake news. There's nothing like that in the Royal Household. King MisuZulu has never requested anything from anyone.' King MisuZulu reposted the comments on his page. Stop 🛑 this fake news there's nothing like that in the Royal Household. King MisuZulu has never 👎 requested anything from anyone. Please stop this!!! Posted by INdlunkulu Kazulu on Saturday 16 August 2025 In April, KZN Premier Thami Ntuli announced increasing the budget allocated to King MisuZulu's estate from R77,5 million per annum to R86 million. The Zulu Royal House Trust (ZRHT) is funded by the office of the Premier. The fund is used for the upkeep of the kingdom and for hosting annual traditional and cultural events to preserve and restore Zulu culture. It is also used to pay school fees, medical fees, and other needs of selected members of the royal family. According to the Premier, the trust is aimed at the Royal House exploring revenue-generating projects like commercial farming for self-sustainability.
