Overthrow and Death
In January 1840, Pretorius and a force of 400 burghers (Dutch for "citizens") helped Mpande in his revolt against Dingane, which resulted in the latter's overthrow and death. Zulu Nyawo, Sambane and Nondawana assassinated Dingane in Hlatikhulu Forest while on a military expedition. He was succeeded by Mpande as king, who was half-brother to both Dingane and Shaka. His grave is in the middle of Tembe elephant park.
