Cluster-of-spears causing grief. |

The verse refers to Shaka's half-brother Dingana returning to assassinate him and leaving the other warriors to be poisoned.
Very poisonous (Bryant, p. 12) [for Catarrh] One of the thick leaves of the umDlebe (Synadenium arborescens) may be broken up and the pungency inhaled through the nostrils; or the same may be pounded along with the leaves of the isiShoshokazana (Ranunculus sp.) mixed in a little water and drawn into the nose.(Bryant, p. 34)
Transvaal Suto moilanone Zulu umDlebe, umBulele Swazi umDletshana
application of latex to eye causes considerable destruction, to the mouth great swelling, a rash followed by desquamation The Sutos of the Eastern Transvaal apply the latex to painful hollow teeth. The Swazis apply the plant externally as an embrocation, but never take it internally The Zulus inhale the pungent vapour from a broken leaf to relieve headache (cites Bryant [?Beyer]) The latex gives of a highly irritant vapour The Sutos chew the dried deaf for asthma (cites Beyer) (Watt & Breyer, p. 106)
simply strike the grave with a branch of umdlebe (Synadenium arborescens),[cites Callaway] and call the deceased by name. "Then the dead man rises out of the grave, coming out with the feet first." The deceased is crippled by driving a sharpened stick of umdlebe through the body, the stick entering the head through the fontanel and coming out of the anus.(Berglund, p.279)
Umdlebe (Synadenium arborescens) is wholly vile and its branches are used by witches in treating a corpse to become umkhovu. (Berglund, p. 346) [cites Doke-Vilakazi, Dictionary p. 155]
Not only is the smell of its flowers said to cause death, but any association with it is proof enough that the person in question is an umthakathi. (Berglund, p. 346) [cites Krige, SSZ, p. 290, note 1.]
