King Goodwill Zwelithini cried during his coronation when making his acceptance speech in 1971, realizing the enormous responsibility of being a successor to his father, King Bhekuzulu ka Solomon.
I once watched a Netflix series, The Crown, about Queen Elizabeth's upbringing and the pressures of being an heir to the crown. Her sister Margaret, at some point became rebellious and an alcoholic. Elizabeth was closely guarded. The same happened with Prince Harry, while William was closely watched.
I suspect uBayede King Misuzulu may be suffering from the same pressure of having to fill big shoes of a man who ruled the Zulu nation with honour for 52 years. There's too much expectation on him. It must be a source of anxiety and stress, a lonely path. I wish it was possible that he could get help, psychiatric help. But obviously it must be taboo of sorts to even suggest that for a King. But I feel like some kind of intervention is needed for his mental health. Just observing from a distance. 😢
