also known as Shaka zulu was in the year 1787 in Kwazulu-Natal, 
assassinated: 1828 September 22
Dingane and Mhlangana, Shaka's half-brothers, appear to have made at least two attempts to assassinate Shaka before they succeeded, He was the most influential leader of the Zulu Kingdom

Dingiswayo's death

According to the diary of Henry Francis Fynn, Dingiswayo's death (c.1818) was the result of Shaka's treachery, though firm testimony of this is lacking. However, it is known that when Dingiswayo fought his last battle, Shaka did not arrive at the scene until after his overlord's capture. He thus retained his forces intact. Zwide later murdered Dingiswayo, and, when the leaderless Mthethwa state collapsed, Shaka immediately assumed leadership and began conquering surrounding chiefdoms himself, adding their forces to his own and building up a new kingdom.

WORDS FROM MOTHER

BE WISE / HUMBLE 

“If you can dream - and not make dreams your master”. 

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim. 

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and 

treat those two imposters just the same... 

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue. 

Or walk with kings. Nor lose the common touch. 

If neither foes not loving friends can hurt you. 

If all men count with you. But none too much. 

If you can fill the unforgiving minute -

with sixty seconds worth of distance run, 

Yours is the earth and everything that’s in it. 

And - which is more - 

You’ll be a MAN, my son”.

“My destiny was set out for me..........All I’m

doing is living it out.....
