Prince Dabulamanzi kaMpande

Dabulamanzi was a half-nephew of the famous Shaka and half-brother to the King, Cetshwayo. He commanded the Undi Corps which was in reserve at Isandlwana and then led the Undi Corps to Rorke's Drift which he attacked all through the night of 22nd/23rd January, 1879. He also organised the siege at Eshowe. After the war, he remained loyal to Cetshwayo, fighting and campaigning for him until his death in 1886.

Michael, that figure comes with the Rorke's Drift Collectors Edition from Warlord. Not sure if it's available singly yet, but I imagine it will be at some point.
