  Ndwandwe - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The Ndwandwe, with the Mthethwa, were a significant power in present-day Zululand at the turn of the nineteenth century.
Under the leadership of King Zwide, the Ndwandwe nation destroyed the Mthethwa under their king Dingiswayo, and the power vacuum was filled by Shaka and his then small Zulu tribe.
Zwide's defeat at the hands of the Zulu at the Battle of Mhlatuze River circa 1820 led to the disintegration of the Ndwandwe nation as Zwide's generals and sons led sections of the Ndwandwe northwards.
