SHAKA'S MILITARY EXPEDITIONS: SURVIVAL AND MORTALITY FROM SHAKA'S IMPIS
21. Mkehlengana, 211. That his father Zulu ka Nogandaba was the most renowned of Shaka's warriors
lends strong credibility to the factual basis of his testimony, heard directly from his famous father,
notwithstanding the predictable AmaZulu perspective.

27. Macingwane, leading his people south, attacked chieftainess Macibise and was repulsed, before
he killed and seized the livestock of one of her officers, an induna. Macingwane then defeated
the AmaNtambo and seized their lands for the resettlement of his own followers. Magidigidi ka

38. Jantshi, 183. Donda was the same chief against whom the AmaZulu had fought a battle prior to
Shaka's return in which Shaka's brother Sigujana had been mortally injured.
39. Ndhlovu, 229-30,232. None of the traditions support Fynn's allegation that Shaka had deliberately
allowed Dingiwayo's troops to be defeated by Zwide. For more about Dingiswayo's death at the
hands of Zwide see Jantshi, 183; Shepstone, par. 13; Mandhlakazi, 186; Makuza ka Mkomoyi in

44. Jantshi, 186. Stuart's notes of Jantshi's interview, with Ndukwana also present at this point, indicate
that all three men were trying to establish with accuracy a chronology of political consolidation
under Shaka. This is evident in Ndukwana's interventions and contributions, which were accepted
by Jantshi.
