It also ordered Ramaphosa to set up an inquiry to probe whether the accession of King Misuzulu was done in line with customary laws. 

 

Ramaphosa says he's looking into the matter.

 

"The way that the judgment has come across is a matter that we are going to discuss and find solutions for, and it should really lead to no crisis. It is a matter that is fairly straightforward and can be dealt with."
