'The Bambatha Rebellion (or the Zulu Rebellion) of 1906 was led by Bambatha kaMancinza (c. 1860–1906?), leader of the Zondi clan of the Zulu People, who lived in the Mpanza Valley (now a district near Greytown kwaZulu-Natal) against British rule and taxation in the Colony of Natal, South Africa.' - Wikipedia
The Zulu king Dinuzulu was accused of giving orders to Bambatha, a Zulu chief, to start a rebellion against the British government in Natal, and was put on trial for high treason. After General Louis Botha became Prime Minister of the Union of South Africa in 1910, he ordered that his old friend Dinuzulu be released from prison.
