Nukwase Ndwandwe was the Queen Mother of Swaziland, aunt of Sobhuza II, and the sister of Lomawa Ndwandwe.[3][4]
Early life
King Ngwane V passed away in 1899, during Ndwandwe's childhood.[5] Owing to hereditary considerations, the royal family consequently brought Ndwandwe into the late Ngwane V's harem.[5] Subsequently, Ndwandwe bore two sons and two daughters to Malunge, Ngwane V's younger brother, in the name of Ngwane V.[5]
