This is his first international trip since he was officially recognised as the new king of the Zulu nation last month.
President Cyril Ramaphosa handed over a certificate signifying his legitimacy as reigning AmaZulu monarch.
Qatar is preparing to make history by hosting not only its first Fifa World Cup, but the first to be staged in the Middle East. It promised a World Cup like no other.
“It will be the smallest nation ever to host the global finals, allowing visitors to navigate the country with ease and even plan for watching multiple matches on the same day. Add to the mix traditional Arab hospitality and winter weather conditions ideal for watching and playing the beautiful game, and Qatar’s World Cup promises to be one to savour,” said Fifa.
