The top post in the KwaZulu-Natal house of traditional leaders currently occupied by Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi will be up for grabs this week.
Traditional leaders from KwaZulu-Natal's 11 districts will converge on Durban's Inkosi Albert Luthuli Convention Centre on Friday to elect a provincial chairperson of the house.
Buthelezi, who is also Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) leader, has been chairperson of the house since 2006 when the groundbreaking KwaZulu-Natal Traditional Leadership and Governance Act was implemented.
Before the act was promulgated, Buthelezi was the traditional prime minister of the Zulu nation for years and his position was never up for re-election.
