Surrender of Cetshwayo kaMpande, 29 August 1880, king of the Zulu Kingdom from 1873 to 1879, captured by soldiers under Wolseley's command at a kraal in the Ngome forest
Illustration by Henry Marriott Paget (1857-1936) from Cassell's Century Edition History of England, pub circa 1901. Info from wiki: Cetshwayo had been sheltered in a village since 3 July and fled upon hearing news of the defeat at Ulundi. The British forces were dispersed around Zululand in the hunt for Cetshwayo, burning numerous kraals in a vain attempt to get his Zulu subjects to give him up[19] and fighting the final small battle to defeat the remaining hostile battalions. He was finally captured on 28 August by soldiers under Wolseley's command at a kraal in the middle of the Ngome forest. He was exiled to London, where he would be held prisoner for three years. Wolseley, having replaced both Chelmsford and Bartle Frere, swiftly divided up Zululand into thirteen districts, installing compliant chiefs in each so that the kingdom could no longer unite under one ruler. Cetshwayo was restored to the throne of the partitioned Zulu kingdom in January 1883 shortly before his death in 1884
