In the Ndebele tribe Dlomo (Dlomu) is the son of Musi kaMhlanga. Dlomo is the younger brother of Manala(Mabhena), Nzunza (Mahlangu), and Kekana. He left Pretoria (KwaMnyamana) after the battle of the kingship between Nzunza and Manala just before the death of Musi.
Here are his clan praises in isiNdebele:
NguDlomu kaSkhube kaNgubona, wendlu ede esesangweni, ingathana aManala ingabi mayekethe, uDlomu nga asakhiye eqongololweni (corresponds to the second sentence of the praise on this blog).
NguDlomo ongasayi kuphalalelwa, uyakuphalalelwa ngabanamahle; Ngutjangatjanga ngewokufuna amazibulo.
Kumhlana kwakomo balala bangakasengwa, mhla amadoda inga belisana, mhla abafazi inga bantakaza.
Kwanyuna iinkomo zaya iwa zaya iwolokohlo; soloko zaya ngomtjha umamba usolanga.
