Help with Zululand River Names

Are the Upoko, Teneni and Ntinini rivers the same river?

W.E. Montague writes that the II Division camped on the Upoko in early June 1879.

I seen prints of Artillery firing on Zulu homesteads on the Upoko river.

Field Operations has a footnote that the Upoko and Teneni rivers are names for the same river.

When I look Upoko and Teneni up in Google or Google maps they are not found.

When I look at Frontier Light Horse in the Anglo Zulu War of 1879 map of the Zungeni skirmish map it shows the Ntinini.

Upuko is the Ntinini, look at the Babanango area. Teneni is the Blood River, or portion of it close to Haladu.
Hope that helps
