  Ndlela kaSompisi - encyclopedia article about Ndlela kaSompisi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Ndlela kaSompisi (died February 1840) was a key general to Zulu Kings Shaka and Dingane, and also served as Dingane's induna - his chief advisor.
He was general of Dingane's forces at the Battle of Blood River (16 December, 1838), a significant defeat for the Zulus as the spears and large numbers of Zulus were unable to breach the Boer laager of Andries Pretorius defended with muskets.
Mindful of the lineage of the Zulu kings, Ndlela repeatedly defied Dingane's request that he assassinate Mpande, half-brother of Shaka and Dingane as he was a threat to Dingane's power.

 Mpande - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
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.
Ndlela was tortured to death by Dingane for his inaction.
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.

Port Natal settlers in a supporting raid were likewise defeated at Ndondakusuka on April 17, and the Zulu went on to sack Port Natal on April 24.
The Zulu army under Ndlela kaSompisi then attacked the prepared Boer position at Veglaer, but were thrown back in a three-day battle (August 13-15), which returned the initiative to the Voortrekkers.
Both lessons were confirmed when the Voortrekkers under Andries Pretorius in their laager at Blood River decisively routed the Zulu army under Ndlela and Nzobo kaSobadli on December 16, 1838, but were then worsted in a running skirmish at Mthonjaneni on December 26.

 Zulu Stick Fighting: A Socio-Historical Overview
Ntuli further postulates that the relationship of stick fighting to military practice was still prevalent during the time of Shaka’s successor Dingane, who ruled until 1840 (e.g., into the era of early white settler encroachments into the interior of KwaZulu-Natal).
Ndlela kaSompisi, commander-in-chief of Dingane’s army and senior induna (prime minister) to Dingane, was arguably the most important figure in Zululand after the king (Becker, 1964:69).
Certainly Ndlela’s experience and skill in stick fighting assisted him in climbing the military ladder, and helped him earn a distinguished reputation.
