Crowds gather in South Africa for king Misuzulu coronation
A new Zulu king has been crowned at a historic event attended by thousands in South Africa's coastal city of Durban.
Prince Bambindlovu Zulu told the BBC that he believed that his brother would unify the monarchy and his people.In his first speech after his coronation, King Misuzulu said that he had embarked on a journey with the community and hoped to be a "catalyst" to bring about positive change. Celebratory songs, chants and dance accompanied every speaker at the event, which was marked with a mix of traditional Zulu culture and Christian prayers.Several local and foreign dignitaries were among tens of thousands of people who attended the ceremony at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
In contrast, Saturday's event on a hot sunny day featured an ostentatious display of Zulu culture, including the old and young wearing traditional regalia. A fifth of South Africa's population is Zulu - the country's largest ethnic group -and its monarchy has a yearly taxpayer-funded budget of more than $3.6 .
