The last will and testament of the late regent of South Africa’s Zulu nation, Queen Mantfombi Dlamini-Zulu, has been read to the royal family.

She has named her first born son Prince Misuzulu ka Zwelithini to ascend the throne.

Queen Dlamini-Zulu died unexpectedly last week and was buried earlier on Friday in a private ceremony in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province.

She was appointed regent of the country’s largest ethnic group in March following the death of her husband King Goodwill Zwelithini.

The queen’s death, at 65, has triggered a bitter family feud and a power struggle over the succession.
