According to the NewsHawks, Ndebeles view King Khumalo as the rightful heir to the Mlizikazi thrown:
Bulelani, viewed by many Ndebeles as the righful heir, is son of Prince Humphrey Khumalo, son of Prince Patrick Khumalo, son of Prince Rhodes Khumalo, son of Prince Njube Khumalo, son of King Lobengula himself who was the son of the Ndebele nation founder King Mzilikazi Khumalo.
Bulelani’s ancestor Lobengula fought the most pitched battles with colonial invaders in Zimbabwe. Lobengula was the biggest and most powerful force at the time; he had a huge army with fierce regiments from Matabeleland South to Midlands regions in today’s geographical parlance.
