Nandzi "LaMagadlela" Khumalo (known as Gogo LaMagadlela; c. 1827 - 1922) was one of King Mswati II's wives and the Queen of the Embhuleni royal kraal in Badplaas, South Africa.
LaMagadlela played a key role in the Embhuleni royal household, which was established around 1842 by King Mswati II as a military post at the foot of Mkhingoma Mountain in Tjakastad. This stronghold was strategically built to protect Eswatini territory from potential invasion by the Bapedi. At Embhuleni, she exercised authority over the regiments stationed there.
