Expert Says Masindi Mphephu's Mother Was Not A Dzekiso Wife

A cultural expert says that her studies and research confirm that Masindi Mphephu's mother was not a Dzekiso wife.

Nomthandazo Ntlama-Makhanya says even if Masindi was a man born of a Dzekiso wife, it does not automatically give her the right to ascend the throne.

A Dzekiso wife is selected by the royal council to give birth to an heir .

Ntlama-Makhanya testified at the Polokwane High Court in Limpopo where the battle for the Vhavenda throne is continuing.

Princess Masindi Mphephu is challenging her uncle and former Vhavenda king, Prince Toni Mphephu-Ramabulana to ascend the throne.
