Factual inaccuracies
editThe following facts in the article are incorrect or need to be substantiated:
- "Boer farmers from the districts of Utrecht and Vryheid" - the town Vryheid was formed only after the Boers assisted Dinuzulu in his leadership contest and the district of Vryheid was formed when the "New Republic", which was formed on the land that was granted to the Boers, was incorporated into the South African Republic (Transvaal / ZAR)
- Although Louis Botha was indeed involved in these battles, he did not lead the Boer forces - Lucas Meyer was the leader of the Boer forces.

Information on the early life of Dinizulu is required, i.e. did he participate in the Anglo Zulu War of 1879 and what role did he play, if any? 196.11.233.80 (talk) 06:28, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

In the Zulu/Nguni language a king is praised with his the things he has done and his lineage... if you check 'Izibongo zika Dinizulu' the first line is 'iNkayishana encane kaMenzi eyaphuza umlaza ngameva' that is the exact line as 'Izibongo zika Nkayishana' which are 'iNkayishana kaMenzi eyaphuza umlaza ngameva' the only difference being the inclusion of the word 'encane' which means 'smaller'... a clear indication that he is the younger version of King Nkayishana 'Knysna' Moshoeshoe Xaba. So the question is if these two are not related then why praise them in the same way? and again you will note that King Dinizulu had a daughter named Princess Magogo who is the mother of Mangosuthu Gatsha Buthelezi and Gatsha has never made it a secret that his mother surname is Xaba and that he has no relation with Chief Goodwill Zwelithini. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.0.8.83 (talk) 20:33, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
