Royalty from Nxumalo last name
The Ndwandwe are a Bantu Nguni-speaking people who owe their name to one of their early chiefs and are also known as the Nxumalo. They established a powerful kingdom between the Pongola River and the Black Umfolozi River during the eighteenth century. Under the leadership of their king Yaka, they dominated the region. Today, they can be found in South Africa, Eswatini, and Zimbabwe.
The most renowned king of the Ndwandwe, ruling from about 1805 to 1820 from his capital on Magudu Mountain south of present-day Pongola. Around 1818, his armies destroyed the Mthethwa under King Dingiswayo at Mbuzi Hill, leaving Zwide as the most powerful leader in the region. In 1819, he launched a second expedition against Shaka’s Zulu, but his forces were decisively defeated at the Battle of Mhlatuze River in 1820, leading to the fragmentation of the Ndwandwe nation. His generals and sons, including Soshangane and Zwangendaba, led segments of the Ndwandwe northwards, establishing the Gaza Empire in Mozambique and the Ngoni peoples in Malawi, Zambia, and Tanzania. The remaining majority were absorbed into the Zulu Kingdom.
