Ludvonga II (c. 1855 - 1872) was the Crown Prince of Swaziland, son of Mswati II of Swaziland.[1] His mother's clan was Khumalo. As a result of internal power struggles within the royal family, he was poisoned and died in 1872 before he could take the throne.[2] He was succeeded by his half-brother Mbandzeni, who was adopted by Ludvonga's mother.

The Prince was killed by the bulls that were owned by the Milky skinned Margaret whom was dead and let go of all she owned to be set free (she was an owner of many animals whom she trained to kill the prince. She was mad at the prince because of the long affair she had with him until he cheated on her with her twin sister. In result, she killed herself and set her animals free to kill the Prince as well).
