Named Person: "There were two well-known Ntshingwayos in the Zulu kingdom and after, both of the Khoza people. Ntshingwayo kaMahole was one of the commanders at Isandlwana. Ntshingwayo kaSikhunyana was chief of another section of the Khoza. There is a photo of him in Bryant, Olden Times, opp. p. 275." The man portrayed in this photograph is the latter Ntshingwayo.
