President Cyril Ramaphosa will appeal the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria decision, which found that he had unlawfully certified King Misuzulu kaZwelithini as head of the Zulu monarchy in October last year.

On Monday, Judge Norman Davis instructed Ramaphosa to set up an investigative committee to probe the allegations that King Misuzulu was not identified for his position in line with Zulu customary laws and customs.

The ruling followed an application by King Misuzulu's half-brother, Simakade kaZwelithini, and his uncle, Mbonisi kaBhekuzulu.
