AmaZulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini and Queen Nomzamo Myeni during a previous official engagement, amid growing public scrutiny following the release of a controversial video depicting a private confrontation.
The circulation of a leaked video showing AmaZulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini shouting at Queen Nomzamo Myeni has renewed debate over whether social media is becoming an important avenue for exposing possible abuse or a platform that risks sensationalising deeply personal conflicts.
The four-minute video, which began circulating online on Thursday, shows the King holding what appears to be a beer bottle while shouting at the Queen during a heated confrontation.
In the footage, he accuses her of infidelity, criticises her conduct as a royal wife, and objects to her social media activities.
At the end of the exchange, Queen Nomzamo, who appears subdued throughout much of the recording, turns to the camera and quietly says: "This is the life that I live, day and night."
