The Mthwakazi kaMzilikazi Royal Crown Family, which includes the Mzilikazi Royal House and the Khumalo Clan, claims the Emmerson Mnangagwa-led government has shown them generosity by promising to restore Zimbabwean citizenship to members of the royal family who were disenfranchised by the country\u2019s long history of racial divisions.<\/p>\n
This gesture was regarded by the Mzilikazi Royal House as a \u201cmomentous step towards the restoration of cultural heritage and unity in Zimbabwe.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to sources, this development comes after government officials met with representatives of the Mzilikazi Royal House in South Africa, where discussions on restoring citizenship to their descendants were held.<\/p>\n
When reached for comment, spokesperson of Bulelani Lobengula Khumalo asserted to be the legitimate heir to the Ndebele throne, Borman Khumalo, said: \u201cIt\u2019s too early to comment.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, this \u2018meeting\u2019 has unsettled the Lobengula Royal House which also claims the Ndebele throne, as it does not know the purpose of this alleged engagement.<\/p>\n
In a press statement, the Mzilikazi Royal House acknowledged Zimbabwe\u2019s current executive leadership but affirmed its apolitical stance.<\/p>\n
