King Bulelani Lobengula kaMzilikazi Khumalo is a Zimbabwean Ndebele king of the Northern Ndebele nation also known as Amahlabezulu tribe, an assertion rejected as unlawful by the High Court of Zimbabwe. His right to the kingship is still in litigation after his brother, Peter Zwidekalanga Khumalo, challenged it. He succeeded King Lobengula who was overthrown by colonial forces during the 1893 First Matabele War, after which Lozikeyi became queen regent of the Ndebele. His coronation took place in a private ceremony in Bulawayo on 28 September 2018. In 2019 he held his first Imbizo in Beria Park, Johannesburg.
