Natan Gamedze

The British also chose a rival royal family to rule Swaziland, compensating the Gamedze clan with ministerial positions.

Gamedze's father lost the title of "king" but became known as "paramount chief", and was also named minister of education and ambassador to the EEC countries.

[7] Toward the end of his time at Brisk, Gamzede was introduced to his wife, Shayna Golda Gordon,[1][7] a baalat teshuva (returnee to Orthodox Judaism) from New York who had studied at Neve Yerushalayim.

For the next five years they resided in Safed, where Rabbi Gamzede taught at Yeshivat Shalom Rav and the Shaarei Bina seminary.

[1] In 2008, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation produced a documentary about Rabbi Gamzede's life titled Compass: The Black Jew of Swaziland.
