Queen Nandi was the daughter of an Inkosi (Chief) of eLangeni - Bhebhe, also known as Mdingi of the Mhlongo clan. Queen Nandi was said to be born around 1760, with 1766 being most quoted as her year of birth. Queen Nandi is widely considered to be one of the greatest single parents who ever lived. When confronted by animosity, rejection, insults, and humiliation, she raised her son Shaka the best way she could - never to give up on life - to have strength of will, and to believe in his destiny. She raised him to believe in the power of unity, and in the concept of “We are the same”. This phenomenal woman of color is an inspiration and her story shall continue to be told🖤 #QueenNandi
