leni, said his client had decided to take the legal route in challenging the throne after he had tried all other available avenues. “When the late Dimbanyika Mphephu was put onto the throne in the 90s, my client was expecting that he would be the one to be sworn in. He was surprised when Toni Mphephu Ramabulana was sworn in while he was still waiting,” said Sikhala. Ndanduleni and Masindi are not the first people to challenge for the position occupied by King Toni. The royal families of Tshidziwelele, Mphaphuli and Tshivhase failed in their challenge at the same court late last year. In his response, Jackson Mafunzwaini, who is the spokesperson for the Mphephu Royal family, laughed off the matter and said: “Ndanduleni is wasting his time and money by going to court.” “Ndanduleni should go to the commission and submit his story, so that the commission can take a decision based on the facts. The issue of traditional leadership cannot be resolved by the court. The commission is the only institution that can make a decision,” said Mafunzwaini. Mr Johann Hammann Sr of Hammann Moosa Attorneys reacted om behalf of Masindi Mphephu and said they have received no documents yet. He said even if Ndanduleni was the eldest son of the late Patrick Mphephu, it does not necessarily mean he has any claim to the title. The late Dimbanyika Mphephu was the heir because of him being born from the house chosen to produce a heir by the royal family structures.
