Sandaki was a member of the imperial council and married to the mother of Mansa Musa II.[1] When Mansa Musa II died in 1387, the throne went to his brother Maghan II, but he was killed about a year later.[1] Sandaki took power for himself, but was soon killed by Mahmud, a descendant of Sundiata based in the pagan south.[3]
