A new Zulu king has been crowned at a historic event attended by thousands in South Africa's coastal city of Durban.
King Misuzulu ka Zwelithini was formally acknowledged as monarch by President Cyril Ramaphosa, who gave him a certificate of recognition.
The ceremony was the first Zulu coronation since South Africa became a democracy in 1994.
It ends a long and bitter tussle to find a successor for King Goodwill Zwelithini who died last year.
He was the longest-reigning Zulu monarch, having served on the throne for almost 50 years.
He had six wives and at least 26 children.
