At first people said that Masilo, the stranger, had stabbed the king; then it was known that Mopo, the wise man, the doctor and the body-servant of the king, had slain the king, and that the two great bulls, his brothers Umhlangana and Dingaan, children of Senzangacona, had also lifted spears against him.

But he was dead, and earth and heaven had not come together, so what did it matter?
Moreover, the two new kings promised to deal gently with the people, and to lighten the heavy yoke of Chaka, and men in a bad case are always ready to home for a better.

So it came about that the only enemies the princes found were each other and Engwade, the son of Unandi, Chaka's half-brother.

But I, Mopo, who was now the first man in the land after the kings, ceasing to be a doctor and becoming a general, went up against Engwade with the regiment of the Bees and the regiment of the Slayers and smote him in his kraals.

It was a hard fight, but in the end I destroyed him and all his people: Engwade killed eight men with his own hand before I slew him.
