23rd January 2002Death of H.R.H. Princess Nomthandazo Magdalene Zulu
By John Young
It is my sad duty to inform the visitors to the RDVC site of the death of Her Royal Highness Princess Nomthandazo Magdalene Zulu, at the age of 51 years on 22nd January, 2002.

Her Royal Highness was the Great-Grandaughter of Prince Dabulamanzi kaMpande, the Zulu Commander of the attack on the Mission Station at Rorke's Drift, 22nd-23rd January, 1879.

The Princess was the Chairperson of the Prince Bangani kaDabulamanzi National Trust, a self-help and development charity working within rural KwaZulu.

Details of the Trust appear on www.geocities.com/athens/rhodes/3185

The Trust is one of the supported charities of the Anglo-Zulu War Research Society.

If anyone feels so inclined why not visit the site and see what you might be able to help the AmaZulu in 2002.

Hello John,

Please pass on our sincerest and deepest sympathies to all concerned. We have been touched by the Zulu Royal House's interest in this site, and it is sad to hear of their loss.

I'm sure all of our vistors will pay a visit to the Trust's website, and see the good work they do in KwaZulu Natal.

Kind Regards,

All at Rorkesdriftvc.com
