I would be inclined to agree, and would happily consider attempting a rewrite as I feel that I have sufficient knowledge to be able to contribute some worthy information to the article. I'll see what I can do once I get back from holiday next week. Would you possibly be able to check the article once I write it and advise me on any revisions or structural changes that ought to be made? I'm afraid I am somewhat a beginner on Wikipedia and haven't tried an article effectively from scratch before, so any assistance would be much appreciated.
As a provisional basis for the article, I propose to include an estimated birth date and more detailed information on his immediate family, also mentioning the Kumalo family lineage and how it relates back to the Zulus. I shall also include as much as possible about his childhood and subsequent accession to the throne. This would lead to life for the Matabele during his rein prior to and during European intervention, going on to tidy up the somewhat disjointed current description of his fleeing and demise.
