Lojiba Simelane was the queen regent and
Indlovukati of
Swaziland from 1836 after the death of
Sobhuza I until 1840 when
King Mswati II became the king. Lojiba Simelane's first born son prince Sononde was young during the death of his father. King Mswati II was made king for that reason. Sononde and his mother rebelled against the former Swati king's advisors and later chased out of Swaziland.[1]
