"Dingaan Thobela was fine with his kids. Why is his evil father causing chaos amongst Dingaan's children?"

RamafaloMoses posted:

"If the old man suspected that those children were not his son's kids, why didn't he tell his son while still alive to take a paternity test by himself? What if he is not Dingane's biological father? If Dingane called them his children and maintained them, then they're his children."
