STORYLINE: The new king of South Africa's ethnic Zulu nation Misuzulu ka Zwelithini dismissed those challenging his right to the throne during his coronation on Saturday. The newly installed King of the Zulu people, the largest ethnic grouping in South Africa, was crowned despite some members of the Royal Family disputing his right to succeed his late father King Goodwill Zwelithini. Some members of the Zulu family prefer two of his brothers as the successors to his father. He addressed large crowds for the first time after undergoing a traditional ritual known as ukungena esibayeni (entering the kraal) to mark the beginning of his reign as king. "I know that you are aware of the state of the royal family in recent times. I request that whatever you hear in the media, and the comments being made by those disputing the throne, you should hear them but you should not listen to them," said ka Zwelithini. He called for unity amongst the Zulu nation, and thanked South African President Cyril Ramaphosa for recognizing him as the rightful heir to the throne. Ramaphosa has awarded him the certificate recognizing him as the new king, which he is set to handover to him at an event later this year. The ceremony was a colourful display of traditional Zulu culture with over a thousand people dressed in traditional Zulu regalia. Women wearing traditional beads, skirts and hats danced and sang Zulu hymns and slogans as they awaited the arrival of the new king. Hundreds of Zulu regiments known as amabutho wielded traditional shields, spears and sticks as they chanted their way into the Royal Palace to pledge their allegiance to their new leader. Other men slaughtered cattle throughout the day, estimated to be more than 50, while women cooked and brewed Sorghum traditional beer. The coronation was also attended by traditional leaders from ethnic communities from other African countries including Zambia and Malawi, who trace their origins to the Zulu nation. =========================================================== Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork Twitter:   / ap_archive   Facebook:   / aparchives   ​​ Instagram:   / apnews   You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
