Dlamini III of Swaziland
Dlamini III (also known as Ladzandzukane and Sidvwaba Silutfuli)[Lubombo Mountains. The early Swazi journeyed along with the Ndwandwe who are a closely related lineage.[1]
Dlamini was succeeded by Ngwane III his son with Queen LaYaka Ndwandwe.[1]
Dlamini's son Ngwane III, took over the chieftaincy and established Swazi settlements south of the Pongola River and when forced to abandon them, he moved his followers to cross back and settle on its northern banks.[2]
This marked the founding of modern Swaziland, and the first capital at Zombodze was established not very long after his ascent.[2] Ngwane's brothers Ndlela and his uncles Shabalala and Mabuza were settled nearby.[1]
