In a statement sent Wednesday night, Traditional Minister to the Zulu Monarch and Nation, Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, says King Goodwill Zwelithini's will was read on Wednesday by his lawyers.
 
He says 200 members of the Zulu royal family were present.
 
Buthelezi says a decision on who will succeed the King will be made public only after the family's mourning period is over.
 
He says the King's has given the Zulu nation the go-ahead to resume ploughing their lands and planting from Friday.
 
King Zwelithini passed away earlier this month. He was laid to rest last Thursday.
