The Dust Rose Like Smoke , 1996 ref The battle The Zulu people prevailed in battle, led by military commander Shaka . As in the Battle of Gqokli Hill , Shaka s superior tactics led his people to victory.

- Ndwandwe
Unreferenced date December 2009 The Ndwandwe clan are a subgroup of the Nguni people who populate sections of Southern Africa. The Ndwandwe, with the Mtetwa Empire Mthethwa , were a significant power in present day Zulu Kingdom Zululand at the turn of the nineteenth century. Under the leadership of King Zwide , the Ndwandwe nation destroyed the Mthethwa under their king Dingiswayo , and the power vacuum was filled by Shaka and his then small Zulu people Zulu tribe. In a common front against the Ndwandwe, Shaka collected the remains of the Mthethwa and other regional tribes, and survived the first encounter of the Zulu Civil War with Zwide at the Battle of Gqokli Hill in 1818. In 1819, Zwide made another expedition against the Zulus, but Shaka again changed his tactics, letting the Ndwandwe army penetrate his territory and responding with guerrilla warfare. Shortage of supplies caused the Ndandwe to return home, but when they were crossing the river Mhlatuze in early 1820, their forces were split and defeated at the Battle of Mhlatuze River . This led to the disintegration of the Ndwandwe nation as Zwide s generals and sons led sections of the Ndwandwe northwards. One such group, under Soshangane , formed the Gaza Empire in present day central Mozambique while another, under Zwangendaba , established rule as the waNgoni in present day Malawi . Others established themselves as chiefs of note in Swaziland and Zambia to create a Ndwandwe legacy of enduring power that is scattered across Southern Africa. They speak an Nguni dialect and their nations official languages are English language English in Zambia and Zimbabwe , and Portuguese language Portuguese in Mozambique .

- Zwide kaLanga
Zwide kaLanga 1758 1825 was the Tribal chief chief of the Ndwandwe Nxumalo clan from about 1805 to around 1820. ref cite web title King ZWIDE kaLanga work Rootsweb.com url http freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com royalty africa i314.html I314 accessdate 2006 06 04 ref He was the son of Langa KaXaba , a Ndwandwe Chieftain. Legend has it that Zwide s mother, Queen Ntombazi was a sangoma . Political life Around the time Zwide became King, the Ndwandwe were growing in military power. Ambitious in expanding Ndwandwe supremacy, Zwide was a prominent rival chieftain to King Dingiswayo of the Mthethwa and his famous general and prot g , Prince Shaka, heir to the Zulu throne. Military actions Zwide sought to expand his borders, and in 1818 he destroyed the power of the Mthethwa Kingdom, after he had King Dingiswayo killed. He also had a battle with the young Zulu clan at the Battle of Gqokli Hill . He destroyed and overran the neighbouring Khumalo Kingdom and executed their King Matshobana KaMangete. Matshobana s son and heir Mzilikazi escaped from the Ndwandwe and sought refuge with Shaka , who had reformed the remnant Mthethwa clan under his rule. Knowing this, Zwide planned to destroy the Zulu Kingdom Zulu Empire to secure Ndwandwe domination of Zululand. In 1820, he led his army into battle against the Zulu at the Battle of Mhlatuze River . His forces were caught crossing halfway across the Mhlatuze River when the Zulu forces attacked, and the Ndwandwe army was scattered. Zwide escaped with a remnant of his clan across the Pongola River . After Zwide and his clansmen escaped, the Zulu attacked the rest of his people, killing many at Mome Gorge, a desolate place. The Zulu attacked the Ndwandwe capital, Kwa Nongoma . The Zulu victory was the beginning of the Mfecane or the scattering. Zwide s generals fled north, where they established their own Kingdoms, such as the Shangane Kingdom in Gaza, formed by General Soshangane .
