Dingane

Dingane was a Zulu king who ruled in the early 19th century, from 1828 to 1840, succeeding his half-brother Shaka. Known for his leadership during a time of change and conflict, he expanded Zulu territory and was involved in battles against neighboring groups and European settlers. His reign was marked by both military successes and internal challenges, including disputes over succession and power. Dingane is a significant figure in South African history for shaping Zulu identity and navigating complex interactions with colonial powers.
