Two Zulu princes have been involved in a car crash in South Africa after returning from a court case contesting the line of succession.
Prince Simphiwe Zulu and Prince Vanana Zulu, royals within King Misuzulu kaZwlithini’s inner circle, had been travelling from Pretoria to KwaZulu-Natal on Thursday evening when the incident happened.
