Royalty from Nzama last name
The Nzama people maintained their own autonomy during the consolidation of the Zulu Kingdom by King Shaka. They were one of the chiefdoms on the western boundary of the Zulu Kingdom that moved away from King Shaka during the 1820s. Later, they supported the invading colonial forces during the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 and participated actively in the colonial armed forces against the Usuthu section of the Zulu royal family during the 1880s. They also provided military support to the Natal colonial forces during the Poll Tax uprisings of 1906.
The Nzama and Ngubane families have a historical dispute over the chieftainship at MaMbulu in Kranskop, Umvoti. The context that made it possible for the Nzama people to come under the leadership of the Ngubane can be linked to the different relations that King Shaka shared with various chieftaincies on the western boundary during the 1820s.
