Ludvonga II

Ludvonga II was the Crown Prince of Swaziland, son of Mswati II of Swaziland. He was the only son of Queen Sisile 'LaMgangeni' Khumalo with King Mswati II.

Early life

Ludvonga was born around 1855 to King Mswati II and Sisile 'LaMgangeni' Khumalo.
When King Mswati II died in 1868, the Liqoqo, a Swazi royal council, selected Ludvonga II's mother, LaMgangeni, as the Queen Mother. Ludvonga II, then about seventeen years old, was designated as the future king.

Marriage and death

As part of his preparation for Swazi kingship, Ludvonga married Mdvumo Mthimkhulu. The marriage, however, did not produce any children. In 1872, Ludvonga II died due to suspected poisoning and his mother was requested to choose a heir amongst King Mswati II's sons and she selected Mbandzeni to be the King of Eswatini.
