It is a story of sacrifice, music, war, and ultimate homecoming to the throne of his ancestors.

Bhungane was crowned king only in 2015. Before that, he was a member of the African National Congress. The king was attending the Crans Montana Forum in Dakhla in March as a special invitee of Morocco's monarch, Mohammed VI.
