Matiwane (died c.1830, uMgungundlovu), son of Masumpa, was the chief of an independent Nguni-speaking tribe, the amaNgwane, a people named after Matiwane's ancestor Ngwane. The amaNgwane lived at the headwaters of the White Umfolozi, in what is now northern KwaZulu-Natal. The cunning of Matiwane would keep the amaNgwane one step ahead of the ravages of the rising Zulu kingdom, but their actions also set the Mfecane in motion. After his tribe was ousted from their homeland by Zwide or Shaka, Matiwane and his army preyed on neighboring tribes and became vagrant marauders. Eventually he fled South into lands occupied by Xhosa States, which got his whole tribe annihilated at the Battle of Mbholompo. As a refugee Matiwane was at the mercy of the Basutos and Swazis, but eventually had to seek re

  • Matiwane (mort vers 1830), fils de Masumpa, est le chef des amaNgwane, une population parlant une langue nguni, nommée ainsi d'après l'ancêtre de Matiwane, le chef de clan Ngwane. Les amaNgwane vivaient près de l'Umfolozi blanche, dans ce qui est de nos jours le nord de la province sud-africaine du KwaZulu-Natal. Durant le Mfecane, ce peuple est dispersé par Zwide ou Chaka, devenant un peuple de maraudeurs errants. En tant que nomade, Matiwane était à la merci des Sotho et des Swazi ; il fut finalement mis à mort par Dingane, le successeur de Chaka, peu de temps après qu'il lui eut demandé sa protection. (fr)

This despotic ruler put Matiwane to death shortly after Matiwane sought his protection. (en)
