On January 22, 2025, King Misuzulu kaZwelithini attended the commemoration of the Battle of Isandlwana, accompanied by his future wife, Queen Nomzamo Myeni. The event, held at the historic Isandlwana battlefield in Nquthu, KwaZulu-Natal, marked the 146th anniversary of the Zulu nation's significant victory over British forces.

The Battle of Isandlwana, fought on January 22, 1879, was a pivotal moment in Zulu history, showcasing the strength and resilience of the Zulu warriors against colonial forces. King Misuzulu's presence at the commemoration underscores his commitment to honoring and preserving Zulu heritage and traditions. Queen Nomzamo Myeni, set to become King Misuzulu's third wife, is scheduled to marry the king in a traditional ceremony on January 26, 2025, at the KwaKhangelamankengane Royal Palace in Nongoma. Prior to the wedding, an umkhehlo ceremony, a traditional engagement event, will take place at Queen Nomzamo's home in Jozini on January 24.

The upcoming nuptials have attracted attention due to ongoing legal proceedings involving King Misuzulu's first wife, Queen Ntokozo kaMayisela. She has sought legal action to prevent the king from marrying a third wife, arguing that their civil marriage is legally recognized under South African law and that another marriage would be illegal. This case highlights the tensions between Zulu traditional customs and modern legal frameworks. Despite these challenges, the royal family continues to engage in significant cultural events, with the Isandlwana commemoration serving as a reminder of the Zulu nation's rich history and enduring legacy.
