Zulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini arrived in Nquthu to lead the commemoration of the 146th anniversary of the historic Battle of Isandlwana. Accompanied by his future wife, Nomzamo Myeni, the King’s appearance comes amidst ongoing speculation and debate surrounding their forthcoming wedding.

On Wednesday, KwaZulu-Natal paid homage to the Battle of Isandlwana, a pivotal conflict in the Anglo-Zulu War of January 22, 1879. This iconic battle is remembered as a momentous victory for the Zulu army against British forces, a rare feat during the colonial era.

The Zulu forces, under the leadership of King Cetshwayo kaMpande—praised as “uJininindi omnyama”—delivered a stunning defeat to the British army. Esteemed izinduna, including Ntshingwayo kaMahole Khoza, Mnyamana kaNgqengelele Buthelezi, and Sgcwelegcwele Ngema, commanded regiments such as the formidable Ngobamakhosi in the triumph at Impi yaseSandlwana.

However, the Zulu victory at Isandlwana was followed by successive British counterattacks, culminating in the destruction of the Zulu capital, Ulundi. King Cetshwayo was eventually captured and taken to England to meet Queen Victoria, only to face imprisonment in Eshowe upon his return to Zululand.

As part of the commemoration, thousands gathered to witness a reenactment of the battle, followed by King Misuzulu’s address. The event drew a large crowd, including amabutho (regiments), traditional praise singers, KwaZulu-Natal MECs, and members of the royal household.

The annual commemoration of Isandlwana remains a significant occasion, honoring the resilience and military prowess of the Zulu kingdom while reflecting on its enduring legacy in South African history.
