What happen to Mkabayi after Shaka died?

She orchestrated the line of succession. Even though Zulu tradition stipulated that a man who killed his brother could not succeed his brother, she lied to ensure that Dingane could succeed his brother Shaka. This was despite the fact that Dingane had a direct hand in Shaka's assassination. When Dingane was challenged by Mhlangana, Mkabayi had Mhlangana killed by henchmen so that Dingne could succeed. With Dingne on the throne, Mkabayi warned him that the boers were practising witchcraft against the Zulu. Dingane believed this and had Piet Retirf assassinated, along with his followers. This cowardly act led to Dingane's downfall; he was succeeded by his brother Mpande, it is doubtful that Mkabayi lived to see Mpande's reign.

He named his capital Bulawayo. Shaka is renowned for his military genius, discipline and attempt to unify the warring tribes of the Zulu Nation. With the force of arms and diplomacy, he unified his people so effectively that he was able to resist the invasion of white people from Europe and maintain peace among Black people in the south part of Africa. Shaka built a Zulu Nation that expanded over a hundred thousand square miles of land and created a military machine capable of inflicting heavy casualties on British troops and calvarymen who were armed with rifles, cannons, rockets and other advanced weapons.
