	Dingane Biography
		Dingane was a younger son of the Zulu chieftain Senzangakona.
		Dingane's most serious difficulties began toward the end of 1837, when he was confronted by the leader of a large party of Trekkers (Afrikaner emigrants) from the Cape, seeking to establish a republic on his southern borderlands.
		But Dingane seems to have feared that an outright refusal of their request might precipitate a conflict in which Zulu armies with a record of failure would be forced into open conflict with men whose firearms had already dispersed the great Ndebele kingdom of Mzilikazi.

		He was in fact though a powerless king reduced to, as the British articulated, 'a nominal ruler in the hands of the Boer invaders'.

		Most trivial fact of the day Dingane was not only deft at plotting the murder of his brother Shaka, but the man known for his portly figure should also be noted in history books as South Africa's first fashion designer.

		Dingane, one of the assassins and a brother of Shaka, then murdered his fellow conspirators and became the new King of the Zulu.
		Dingane retreated into Swaziland, but in 1840 he was killed by conspirators led by Mpande, who took over the Zulu throne.
		When the Zulu king did not conform to these demands, a succession of bloody confrontations between the Zulu and the British ultimately led to the Anglo-Zulu war of 1879, after which the Zulu Kingdom was brought under British colonial rule.

		Dingane killed his popular brother Shaka for the throne and moved to Mgungund-lovu, where he established his capital.
		According to myth Dingane had no children, but the guide at Mgungundlovu explained that this was probably because, like Shaka, the king killed his children, afraid that his sons would grow up to oust him.
		Later King Mpande fell in love with this same girl and married her, formally adopting her son who would become King Cetshwayo, the direct ancestor of today's reigning traditional monarch, King Goodwill Zweli-thini.
