September 1830 CE

...Soshangane will establish the Nguni kingdom of Kwa Gaza, which he names after his grandfather, Gaza.

He also gives them his name Amashangana from Soshangane.

Consolidating his kingdom in the highlands of the middle Sabi River, he extends his control over the area between the Komati (Incomati) and the Zambezi rivers, incorporating the local Tsonga and Shona peoples into his kingdom.

The Gaza Kingdom comprises parts of what are now southeastern Zimbabwe, as well as extending from the Save River down to the southern part of Mozambique, covering parts of the current provinces of Sofala, Manica, Inhambane, Gaza and Maputo, and neighboring parts of South Africa.
