Princess Mphephu has argued in court that she was removed from the line of succession because she was a woman. The Supreme Court appeared to agree, by PolokoTau

Her attorney called to tell her the Supreme Court of Appeal was going to pass judgment on her challenge to her uncle Toni Mphephu-Ramabulana’s ascension to the VhaVenda throne.

Her lawyer told her that the court had stripped Mphephu-Ramabulana of his crown and ordered the withdrawal of his certificate of recognition pending the outcome of another court process. It also set aside the Royal Council’s 2010 decision to “identify [Mphephu-Ramabulana] as a suitable person to be appointed as the King of the VhaVenda Traditional Community”, and declared a 2012 decision by former president Jacob Zuma to recognise him as “unconstitutional and invalid”.

The case was referred back to the High Court in Thohoyandou for “further adjudication on the merits before another judge”. An ndumi is described as a “male person appointed by the royal family as one of the assistants to the reigning king or queen”. Although the case isn’t over, the princess is happy, saying the outcome was a “sign that we’re heading in the right direction”.
