ndvungunye

ndvungunye -lrb- also known as zikodze , mavuso ii -rrb- was king of swaziland from 1780 until his death in 1815 after succeeding his father , king ngwane iii following a very brief regency of indlovukati layaka ndwandwe .
very little has been recorded of the quality of leadership under his reign .
ndvungunye built his residence or `` lilawu '' near mhlosheni on feet of the mhlosheni hills in shiselweni , the south east of modern swaziland near zombodze , where his father ngwane had settled during his reign .
his rule thus indicated a period of limited expansion and consolidation which is overshadowed by that of his son king sobhuza i .
the shiselweni settlements established under his reign would not however provide a solid foundation for the future swazi state as indicated by attacks after his death on sobhuza by ndwandwe chiefs .
ndvungunye died around 1815 after being struck by lightning .
ndvungunye was married to lojiba simelane and somnjalose simelane .
it was with the latter that he had his son sobhuza i. lojiba however became queen mother as she was a senior sister to somnjalose .
sobhuza i became the king in 1815 after the regency of queen lomvula mndzebele .
