Lojiba Simelane was the queen regent and Indlovukati of Swazilandfrom 1836 after the death of Sobhuza I until 1840 when King Mswati II became the king. She acted on this position with Sobhuza I's brother, Prince Malunge, and Sobhuza I's eldest son, Prince Malambule - Queen Lojiba Simelane's son.
Lojiba Simelane's first born son Prince Sononde was young during the death of his father. King Mswati II was made king for that reason. Sononde and his mother rebelled against the former Swati king's advisors and later chased out of Swaziland.[1]
