), also known as Mbata Bhambatha, was a Zulu chief of the amaZondi clan in the Colony of Natal and son of Mancinza.

Bhambatha claims that he was told to lead an armed rebellion by the de facto Zulu King Dinizulu.

The Natal Police believed Bhambatha was going to resist the tax with force and sent about 150 men to arrest him.

Thousands of colonial troops were then sent after him, including cavalry and heavy artillery, leading to 3,500 casualties.

The British government claimed Bhambatha was killed in action in the Battle of Mome Gorge, while it is commonly believed among the Zulu people that he fled and eventually settled in Mozambique.
