Sigujana kaSezangakhona (died 1816) was chief 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, his half-brother Shaka had him assassinated:[1] Shaka's half-brother Ngwadi killed Sigujana while he was bathing in a river.[2] His birth date is unknown, but he died in 1816 shortly after becoming chief.
