EspañolMTETWA EMPIRE
(Redirected from Mtetwa)
The 'Mtetwa Empire' was a kingdom that arose in the 1700s south of Delagoa Bay and inland in eastern southern Africa. It consisted of more than 30 Nguni tribes, and perhaps others.
The Mtetwa Empire was consolidated and extend under the rule of Dingiswayo who entered into an alliance with the Tsonga to the north in the early 1800s, and began trading with the Portuguese in Mozambique. About 1811, the Buthelezi and the other Zulu tribes, including that led by Senzangakona, were integrated into the Mtetwa Empire. Dingiswayo was killed in a battle with the Ndwandwe in 1817. The Mtetwa Empire was superseded by the Zulu nation under Shaka, a former lieutenant in the Mtetwa army.
