Battle of Ndondakusuka
The Battle of Ndondakusuka was fought on 2 December 1856 near the Thukela River between two sons of the Zulu king Mpande competing for the succession. Cetshwayo's uSuthu faction routed his half-brother Mbuyazi and his iziGqoza supporters, killing Mbuyazi and thousands of his followers. The victory made Cetshwayo the effective heir and later king of the Zulu.
