unreferenced date December 2008 Mpande 1798 1872 , uMsimude owavela ngesiluba phakathi kwamaNgisi namaQadasi, as he was praised, was Monarch king of the Zulu Kingdom Zulu nation from 1840 to 1872, making him the longest reigning Zulu king. He was a half brother of Shaka and Dingane , who both preceded him as List of Zulu kings kings of the Zulu . He was born in Babanango , Zulu Kingdom Zululand . He was considered a weak man in comparison to his contemporaries, and while other half brothers were removed he was allowed to live. When Dingane instructed his chief inDuna Ndlela kaSompisi to assassinate him, Ndlela repeatedly delayed, as he realised that Mpande was the only son to have had any children, and Ndlela considered the continuation of the blood line crucial to the stability of the Zulu nation. Ndlela was tortured to death by Dingane for his inaction. Mpande had many sons, among which was Cetshwayo, his successor, Mbuyazwe, Dabulamanzi, Ndabuko, Sitheku, to name but a few. In January 1840 Andries Pretorius helped Mpande in his revolt against his half brother Dingane, who was killed on an expedition north in the Hlatikhulu Forest . Rules of succession in the Zulu monarchy were sketchy at best, but tradition had it that the first son of the Great wife be successor. Unfortunately, the king could pick which of his wives was the Great wife , and even change his mind which Mpande did. Succession was eventually settled by the Battle of Ndondakusuka between rivals Cetshwayo and Mbulazi, who was supported by John Dunn 1834 1895 John Dunn , on the banks of the Tugela River . Cetshwayo won, and though Mpande did not relinquish power for over a year, Cetshwayo was effectively in control. s start colspan 3 align center List of Zulu kings King of the Zulu Nation align center Preceded by br Dingane align center Reign BR 1840 1872 align center Succeeded by br Cetshwayo s end Persondata Metadata see Wikipedia Persondata .

Zibhebhu was a son of Maphita, son of Sojiyisa. He was one of the 13 kinglets allocated land in the aftermath of the Anglo Zulu War , and vied for the royal succession with another of Cetshwayo s sons, Dinuzulu . The British, seeing the futility of the division of Zululand, determined to restore Cetshwayo as the ultimate chief. However, they left Usibepu alone and his lands intact. Both Zibhebhu and Dinuzulu befriended Boer mercenaries to help them in their claims. On the 22 July 1883, led by a troop of mounted white mercenaries, Zibhebhu made a sudden descent upon Cetshwayo s kraal at Ulundi , which he destroyed. All Zibhebhu s men wore a piece of leopard skin round their heads as a distinguishing mark. Cetshwayo escaped, though wounded, into Nkandla forest. After repeated pleas from the Resident Commissioner, Sir Melmoth Osborn , the king moved to Eshowe , where he died a few months later, possibly by poisoning. Dinuzulu was left to fight for the succession, and with the help of General Louis Botha and Dinuzulu s Volunteers defeated Zibhebhu and his army at the Battle of Mkuze Ghost Mountain Ghost Mountain also known as the Battle of Tshaneni . Skulls were so numerous at the site of the battle that they were used as road edge markers years later.
