Nongoma mourners pay respect to Zulu Queen
More details are expected to emerge from Nongoma today, on how the Zulu royal family will decide to bid farewell to their late Queen Mantfombi Dlamini-Zulu.
The 65-year-old passed away on Thursday following an illness and after being named regent of the Zulu nation over a month ago, when her husband King Goodwill Zwelithini died.
