On Friday, the Apex court rejected Simakade’s application for leave to appeal the Supreme Court of Appeal’s (SCA) affirmation of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s recognition of King Misuzulu as king of the Zulu nation. The court found that Simakade has no prospect of successfully appealing the SCA’s October 2025 ruling.

In the judgment, Deputy Chief Justice Dunstan Mlambo and his seven colleagues said the court had concluded that there were no reasonable prospects of success on the merits of the application for leave to appeal.
