Who was Sojiyisa?

Sojiyisa was the illegitimate son of Jama kaNdaba, the Zulu chief, born from a marriage to a pregnant woman. His birth created complications in the line of succession, as he was not a blood relative of Jama. This situation led to tensions within the Zulu leadership, and Sojiyisa’s life was marked by the political intrigues of the time, ultimately resulting in his death due to tribal conflicts rather than direct succession claims [[2]](https://www.rejectedprincesses.com/princesses/mkabayi-kajama).
