The '''Ndwandwe''' are a [[Bantu people|Bantu]] [[Nguni languages|Nguni]]-speaking people who populate sections of southern [[Africa]]. They are also known as the Nxumalo's

The Ndwandwe, with the [[Mtetwa Empire|Mthethwa]], were a significant power in present-day [[Zulu Kingdom|Zululand]] at the turn of the nineteenth century. Under the leadership of [[Monarch|King]] [[Zwide kaLanga|Zwide]], the Ndwandwe nation destroyed the Mthethwa under their king [[Dingiswayo]], and the [[power vacuum]] was filled by [[Shaka|Shaka Zulu]] and the [[Zulu people|Zulu]] tribe. In a common front against the Ndwandwe, Shaka collected the remains of the Mthethwa and other regional tribes, and survived the first encounter of the [[Ndwandwe–Zulu War|Zulu Civil War]] with Zwide at the [[Battle of Gqokli Hill]] in 1818. 

In 1819, Zwide made another expedition against the Zulus, but Shaka again changed his tactics, letting the Ndwandwe army penetrate his territory and responding with guerrilla warfare. Shortage of supplies caused the Ndandwe to return home, but when they were crossing the [[Mhlatuze River|river Mhlatuze]] in early 1820, their forces were split and defeated at the [[Battle of Mhlatuze River]].

This led to the disintegration of the Ndwandwe nation as Zwide's generals and sons led sections of the Ndwandwe northwards. One such group, under [[Soshangane]], formed the [[Gaza Empire]] in present-day central [[Mozambique]] while another, under [[Zwangendaba]], established rule as the waNgoni in present-day [[Malawi]]. Others established themselves as chiefs of note in [[Swaziland]] and [[Zambia]] to create a Ndwandwe legacy of enduring power that is scattered across Southern Africa.

They speak Nguni dialects and their nations’ official languages are [[English language|English]] in [[Zambia]] and [[Zimbabwe]], and [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] in [[Mozambique]].
