Notes

uMgungundlovu was the royal capital of the Zulu king Dingane who reigned between 1828 and 1840. He established his royal kraal, or capital, in 1829 in the Emakhosini Valley on the slope of Lion Hill (Singonyama), just south of the White Umfolozi River in Natal. He took power in 1828, ostensibly after assassinating his half-brother Shaka.
