King Palo kaTshiwo He was the king of the Ama-Xhosa Nation from 1728 until his death in 1755.

King Palo KaTshiwo (Born:1702-Died:1755) was the second son of King Tshiwo KaNgconde but his older brother Prince Gwali KaTshiwo was from a junior wife and so King Palo KaTshiwo was in line for the AmaXhosa throne.

King Tshiwo KaNgconde died the same year of King Palo’s birth so his uncle Prince Mdange kaNgconde took over the reins as regent.

Prince Gwali kaTshiwo joined forces with Prince Ntinde KaTogu , chief of the AmaNtinde clan, to overthrow King Phalo KaTshiwo but was not successful.

King Palo KaTshiwo he had five Known sons Prince Langa kaPhalo (1705), Prince Rarabe kaPhalo (1722), King Gcaleka kaPhalo (whose mother, Queen Thandela KaPhahlo, was the daughter of the AmaMpondomise monarch King Phahlo and sister to Queen Mamani kaPhahlo & also later on King Sonthlo KaPhahlo.[1][2]), Prince Lutshaba kaPhalo (1730) and Prince Nukwa kaPhalo.
