Person
Senzangakhona
Senzangakhona was chief of the small Zulu chiefdom in what is now KwaZulu-Natal in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He was the father of three Zulu kings, Shaka, Dingane and Mpande. Shaka was born of his union with Nandi and grew up in exile, and after Senzangakhona's death in 1816 he seized the chiefdom with Mthethwa support.
