Sigujana kaSenzangakhona (died 1816) was King of the Zulu people in 1816. He was the son of Senzangakhona kaJama and half-brother of Dingane kaSenzangakhona and Shaka kaSenzangakhona. He succeeded his father c. 1816.[1] His mother was Bhibhi kaSompisi. Shortly after he became chief, he was murdered by his half-brother, Shaka. It is disputed whether Shaka had him assassinated,[1] or Shaka himself killed Sigujana by stabbing him.[2] His birth date is unknown, but he died in 1816, shortly after he had become King.
