  Senzangakona - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the chieftaincy of Senzangakona, the Zulus were a small clan in the Mthethwa confederation which was ruled by Dingiswayo.
Senzangakona married at least sixteen wives by which he had fourteen known sons.

This was Nkosinkulu (Great Lord), who begat Zulu, who begat Mageba, who begat sons who begat Senzangakona, the first Zulu chieftain about whom anything definitely is known.
Senzangakona, having lived his life in peace and quietness under the "armpit," as the Zulu has it, of the Mtetwa overlord, died, leaving behind him an unruly son of the name of Chaka.
There is probably no prouder man on the face of the earth than a member of the house of Senzangakona, the Zulu royal house.

As an outcast, Shaka was brought by a number of neighboring groups, ending up as a member of the Mthethwa.
This makes sense: the Zulu are more powerful than any of their neighbors; if Shaka is leader of the Zulu and was raised by the Mthethwa, he will be more lenient towards the Mthethwa.
