"The regency was first offered to [Mtirara's] senior brother, Ncapayi, who had by then returned to the Mbashe. Ncapayi, presumably unwilling to rule over people subjected to Colonial control, declined the offer. Shweni, his second brother, a man greatly respected by the Cape Town authorities, was then appointed, but he accidentially shot himself." http://eprints.ru.ac.za/2980/1/WAGENAAR-PhD-TR89-73.pdf
