Lobengula
King of Matabeleland
Years: 1845 - 1894
Lobengula Khumalo (1845–1894) is the second and last king of the Ndebele people, usually pronounced Matabele in English.
Both names, in the Sindebele language, mean "The men of the long shields", a reference to the Matabele warriors' use of the Zulu shield and spear.
