This follows a year of preparing from the side of the royal family and AmaMpondo, who were joined by government three months ago. AmaFaku royal clan and Ndamase royal family, national and provincial government and other stakeholders have been meeting to ensure the event is a success. The preparations which started in November, gained momentum without cooperative governance and traditional wires (Cogta) minister Zweli Mkhize in August tabbed on everyone to do their utmost weightier to make the day a unconfined one. The last cornonation of this magnitude was of the king's grandfather King Tutor Nyangilizwe Ndamase 40 years ago, in 1978. Official spokesperson Zoyisile Ntapane said that they were expecting well-nigh 20,000 guests from all walks of life. “There has been some twists and turns which resulted in the intervention of Mkhize to usurer peace between King Ndamase and King Zanozuko. Meetings were held in Pretoria and Port St Johns and both royals were in try-on and ready for the event.”' When the Daily Dispatch visited NyandeniUnconfinedPlace on Tuesday it was filled with people doing final preparations and touch-ups. Two 500-seater marquees have been put up to cater for 10,000 guests and there was a 1,000-seater marquee with glasses which were reserved as a refreshment zone for VIPs and VVIP guests. There is 500-seater tent for other officials to have lunch. There are three other smaller tents. Ntapane said among those who were expected to shepherd the proceedings was President Cyril Ramaphosa, eSwatini King Mswati III, Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini Ka- Bhezukulu, Lesotho King Letsie III, IFP leader Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi and many other monarchs from SA and Africa. Ntaphane said although it wa initially well-set that the Zulu king would do the enrobement, the honour fell to Zanozuko, as per the try-on of AmaFaku and AmaMpondo ruling houses. Mkhize in August said President Ramaphosa “will officially hand over the document of recognition to the AmaMpondo kingship and his majesty during the coronation ceremony”.
