KwaNodwengu

KwaZulu-Natal


Opposite the large former Legislative Assembly building is the site of King Mpande’s iKhanda (palace), KwaNodwengu. Mpande won control from Dingaan after the Zulus' disastrous loss at Blood River. He seized power with assistance from the Boers, but Zululand declined during his reign. The king’s grave is here, but there’s little else to see.
