Sonyangwe was the elder son of King Madzikane and the crown prince who took over reigns to rule the Bhaca people shortly after the death of Madzikane. He was the king of the Bhaca people for a brief period in 1824–1825 before Mdingi of AmaBhele killed him in an area known as Rhode today.[1] After his death, his younger brother took over and became the king of the Bhaca people as his son, Prince Mdutshana, was still too young to lead.
