Matsafeni Mdluli

Matsafeni Mdluli (also spelt Mataffin) was a 19th century Swazi chief and warrior who led Swazi military campaigns in the area around present-day Mbombela (formerly Nelspruit) and west of Limpopo, South Africa during the Swazi-Sotho conflicts. He was a military leader for one of the regiments of King Mswati II and later his son King Mbandzeni, called Hhohho.

Death In c.1892, Matsafeni entered into a dispute with Native Commissioner Abel Erasmus and left the area but was killed and buried next to Imagaroti Creek, south of Ship Mountain (Mhukweni) in the Kruger National Park.
