Ian Raymond Jackson sent me this message regarding Zwelethini's Date of Birth:

=Dear Sharon,
On the 27/7/1970 I visited the King in Zululand and he signed a book for me and he wrote best wishes on my birthday and dated it the 27th but I see that he was born on the 14 th of July,could you maybe share some light on it
Sincerely
Ian Jackson=

Ian, thanks for letting us know this.

I got the DOB from his website here: http://zulumonarch.org/overview/family_history/
- which is also the date Wikipedia is using: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodwill_Zwelithini_kaBhekuzulu

Maybe his handwriting was just lousy? :-)

There are contact details on the website - what about querying it and posting the reply here, so we can be sure we've got the accurate date.

It would be great if you uploaded the message and any photos you took to his Geni profile too.
