  Zululand - LoveToKnow 1911
Before this embassy started, news came that Chaka had been murdered (23rd of September 1828) at a military kraal on the Umvote about fifty miles from Port Natal.
Chaka was a victim to a conspiracy by his half brothers Dingaan and Umthlangana, while a short time afterwards Dingaan murdered Umthlangana, overcame the opposition of a third brother, and made himself king of the Zulu.
Bloodstained as had been Chaka's rule, that of Dingaan appears to have exceeded it in wanton cruelty, as is attested.

The demoralised state of many such refugee clans undoubtedly made them easy for both the British and the Voortrekkers to subjugate, and thus indirectly advanced the cause of colonialism, with the Anglo-Zulu War.
Although Shaka made preliminary contacts with Europeans from the British Empire, he was killed by his half-brother and successor Dingane with help from another brother Umthlangana (Mahlangane) and his induna (advisor) Mbopa before he could test his strategic brilliance against an army equipped with flintlock muskets.
His successors got plenty such opportunities, both against the Voortrekkers and against British forces.

As one example of his iron discipline, he once ordered a company of his warriors to ride over a cliff - and did they not straightway charge to their deaths, waving their spears and shouting their war-cries?
Before the Great Trek began, Dingaan (Tshaka’s half-brother) and Umthlangana (his brother) had one day entered the chief’s kraal, and the former, without wasting time by superfluous preliminaries, had promptly raised his spear and plunged it into Tshaka’s body.
Soon afterwards, preferring to be without any possible rival, he had murdered Umthlangana too.

 Der Weg zum "Kafferngrab".
Er verfügte über etwa 100 000 Krieger, und mehr als eine Million Neger und Weiße kam durch seine Eroberungszüge ums Leben.
Tschaka, dessen Name "Schlachtbeil" bedeutet und der als "Schwarzer Napoleon", treffender aber als "Schwarzer Attila" oder "Hyänenmensch" bezeichnet wurde, wurde 1828 von seinen Brüdern Dingaan und Umthlangana ermordet.
Zum neuen Zulu-Herrscher schwang sich Dingaan auf, nachdem er Umthlangana im Zweikampf getötet hatte, und es scheint, daß er - falls man hier überhaupt noch vergleichen kann - Tschaka an Grausamkeit noch übertraf, obwohl er sich im Gegensatz zu Tschaka nicht immer persönlich an die Spitze seiner Krieger in den Kämpfen stellte.
