Goodwill Zwelithini

Thousands of people gathered at the Zulu royal palace in South Africa on Aug. 20 to witness the crowning of a new king in the country's richest and most influential traditional monarchy.

Misuzulu Zulu, 47, ascended to the throne once held by his late father, Goodwill Zwelithini, during traditional ceremonies that were partially overshadowed by a bitter succession dispute.

Even though the majority of South Africa’s citizens has been lacking basic goods for two decades now, such as clean water and electricity, the Zulu King continues to provoke with his lascivious lifestyle and his provocative statements against immigrants.
