[edit] Labotsibeni Thandile Ndwandwe
This empty page conflates the names of two important Queens of Swaziland who ruled as regents. Tsandzile Ndwandwe (siSwati spelling; Thandile is isiZulu) was the mother of Mswati II & was regent in the late 1830s. Labotsibeni (Gwamile) Mdluli was the mother of Sobhuza II & was regent from 1899 to 1922 i.e. the first decades of British colonization. See e.g. Hilda Kuper, An African Aristocracy (NY: Africana Publishing Co., 1980 [reprint 1947 ed.]. The conflation may pose problems for work I want to do on various Swaziland related articles.
