Izithakazelo zakwa Bhengu Clan Names Umlando

Bhengu Brief history:

Ngcolosi’s followers settled in Ntunjambili near Greytown in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, eventually spreading to Durban and the Umngeni River area near Inanda.

Rewarded with 100 cattle for his exceptional care, he used part of this wealth to pay lobola for a Mkhize wife, continuing the royal bloodline.

His reign was marked by conflict with the Zulu king, leading to his death when warriors threw him into the Thukela River. His descendants split into two branches—one remaining in Durban and one returning to Ntunjambili.
