Mpande (1798 - 1872) was king of the Zulu nation from 1840 to 1872, making him the longest reigning Zulu king.
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.
In January 1840 Andries Pretorius with a commando of 400 burghers helped Mpande in his revolt against his half-brother Dingane, who was killed on an expedition north in the Hlatikhulu Forest.

Mpande said in 2001 he was accused of impregnating Alice Mulenga and he was sued for pregnancy damages by her father.
Mpande told Mulenga that he was not happy about the way the court dissolved the marriage without addressing the issue of the dowry and pregnancy damage he had paid.
Mpande said since his in-laws alleged that he was impotent, it implied that the first pregnancy was not his and the court should have asked them to return his money.

Dingane`s half brother Mpande defected to the Boers with 17,000 supporters and his general, Nongalaza and was duly installed as the Reigning Prince of the Emigrant Zulus.
Mpande, like his half brother, carried excessive weight but unlike his half brother, was engaging and charming.
As Dingane was clearly tardy in repaying the Boers the 40,000 head of cattle, Pretorius and Mpande mounted a commando - the beestekommando (cattle commando) - to recover it.

Mpande was somehow destined to have his day, though, for he was spared when Dingane's first act as king was to execute a dozen other royal kin.
Mpande and the Boers then launched a joint campaign against the Zulu king, who was eventually hunted down and assassinated near the Swaziland border.
Mpande duly ordered a purge, starting with Gqugqu and his entire family, and extending to every alleged conspirator the king's henchmen could lay their hands on.

Blaming his half-brother Mpande for not supporting him from his stronghold in south Zululand, Dingane demanded warriors to replace his battle losses, but Mpande was unmoved.
It was agreed that the Zulus under Mpande would drive north through Kranskop to engage Dingane's army near Nongoma, while the Boers escorted Mpande himself through the western region, closing on Dingane from the direction of present-day Vryheid.
Mpande sensibly followed a policy of uniting the factions of the Zulu nation, and Dingane's followers were gradually accepted back into the fold.
