Part of the regiment rebelled and joined Cetshwayo’s half brother, and some actually joined the NNC in an early action against one of the indunas of the inGobamakhosi.
Most of the regiment was to serve the king loyally, and fought bravely at Isandlwana, and at the attack on Rorke’s Drift. As well as at Gingindhlovu and finally at Ulundi under Dabulamanzi.
The regiment wore a headdress which included a brown crane feather, otter skin head band, monkey skin amabheqe, sakabula feathers and white ostrich feathers.
