Reply to comment by Zuzara_The_DnD_Queen in South Africa's new Zulu king officially recognised by government by HRJafael

An unelected leader having a say in government. Yes, so much better that.

The position isn’t inherited.

As a cultural leader they easily gain the role but they still have to be elected into the ANC and the position

>Immediately after the death of King Misuzulu's father, historians and cultural experts predicted that King Misuzulu would be the one appointed to the throne, as he was the son of the late King and the late King's Great Wife, giving him increased status among the late King's other 28 children.[11] At the time, some senior members of the royal family called the debate over succession "premature".[7] At King Goodwill Zwelithini's funeral service, the late king's sister, Princess Thembi Ndlovu stated that the Royal Family did not yet know who the next king would be and that the individual would be "chosen by God".[12]

>On 29 April 2021, approximately 7 weeks after the death of King Goodwill Zwelithini, Queen Regent Mantfombi Dlamini herself died from an unspecified illness, without having publicly appointed the next Zulu monarch.[13] However, on 7 May 2021, at the public reading of the late Queen's will, it emerged that she had appointed King Misuzulu as the next king of the Zulu nation.[14] The announcement was met with protest from certain members of the royal family and King Misuzulu, present at the reading of the will, was escorted away to safety by the South African Police Service and a security detail from eSwatini.[14][15]

And they stay in that position for how long? How very democratic. No graft going there.

I am lol'ing at this person who's clearly done zero research on the topic tripping over their dick with gotcha questions and being politely shut down with facts. Delightful. A+ internetting.

Show me where there's an election here. All I see is a disputed will. Turns out you're the one full of shit that didn't do research.

…why are you unable to differentiate between parliament and the Zulu monarchy.

You get that they’re two separate things, right?

I absolutely love how you've clearly done no research on the situation whatsoever, yet you inexplicably hold a strong opinion on the matter. Why are you reaching so hard for something to be upset about?

But the user getting upvotes is actively spreading misinformation. We learn about this stuff in the South African high school syllabus and the things she is saying is nearly the opposite of reality.
