USoshangane, owaziwa nangokuthi uManukuza, uvela emakhasini omlando hhayi nje njengomholi wezempi, kodwa njengomdwebi wezobuciko owaqopha umbuso wakhe phakathi kwendawo enesiphithiphithi yekhulu le-19 le-Afrika eseNingizimu. Lesi sihloko sidlulela ngale kwesifinyezo se-Wikipedia, sihlanganisa ukulandisa okuhlola ukuphakama, ukubusa, kanye nefa elihlala njalo.
Wazalwa cishe ngo-1790, impilo kaSoshangane esemncane iqondana nokuvela koMbuso wamaZulu onamandla ngaphansi kukaShaka Zulu. Wenyukela ezinhlwini zamaNdwandwe, isizwe samaNguni esiyimbangi, waba ujenene othenjwayo nodume ngobuchule bakhe bamasu nobuqhawe enkundleni yempi. Nokho-ke isimo sashintsha ngokuhlulwa kukaNdwandwe empini yomfula uMhlatuze ngowe-1820. Ebhekene nokuqothulwa, uSoshangane, ngokungafani namanye amaqembu amaNdwandwe ayebaleka, waqala umkhankaso wokuqunga isibindi neqembu labalandeli abaqotho.
Cishe iminyaka engamashumi amabili, abantu bakaSoshangane badabula amabanga amade, behamba ezindaweni abangazazi futhi benza ubudlelwano nemiphakathi yendawo. Lesi sikhathi, esaziwa ngokuthi iMfecane (Ukuhlakazeka Okukhulu), kwaba nezingxabano eziningi kanye nokunqoba. Ubuholi bukaSoshangane nobungcweti kwezempi babonakala bubalulekile, kwamvumela ukuthi anqobe amaqembu abuthaka awafake emfelandawonye wakhe owawukhula.
Ekugcineni, phakathi kuka-1828 no-1830, uSoshangane wasungula indawo yokuhlala unomphela eduze nomfula iLimpopo, okuphawula ukuzalwa koMbuso WaseGaza. Ubukhosi, obabuphakathi kwezifunda ezinamandla njengamaZulu namaPutukezi, baphumelela ngaphansi kombuso kaSoshangane. Wathatha isiqu esithi “Manukuza,” esibonisa ukuguquka kwakhe ekubeni umholi wezempi waba inkosi ebusayo.
USoshangane wasungula uhlelo lokuphatha oluphakathi nendawo, edlulisela igunya kuzikhulu ezithembekile ezengamele izindawo ezinqotshiwe. Wakhuthaza ukuhwebelana, ikakhulukazi nabathengisi bamaPutukezi, beshintshisana ngezinyo lendlovu negolide ngezimpahla zaseYurophu njengezibhamu nezinhlamvu. Lokhu kuhweba kwaqinisa amandla ombuso kwezomnotho nakwezempi.
Kodwa-ke, ukubusa kukaSoshangane kwakungezinye zezinto ezimbi. UMbuso WaseGaza wabamba iqhaza ngenkuthalo ekuhwebeni ngezigqila, ukuthumba nokudayisa abantu abavela emiphakathini engomakhelwane. Lo mkhuba, ngesikhathi ucebisa izikhulu ezibusayo, ushiye isilonda esingapheli emlandweni walesi sifunda.
USoshangane washona ngo-1858, washiya umlando njengomuntu oyinkimbinkimbi futhi onezici eziningi. Wayeyinkosi eyiqhawe eyaqopha umbuso omkhulu ngobuqhawe bezempi, isikhulu sombuso esikhaliphile esakha umbuso ophumelelayo, nomuntu onempikiswano ukuhileleka kwakhe ekuhwebeni ngezigqila okuqhubeka kuphakamisa imibuzo ngokuziphatha.
UMbuso WaseGaza wabekezelela amanye amashumi amathathu eminyaka ngaphambi kokuba unqotshwe ukucindezela kobukoloni bamaPutukezi. Naphezu kokushabalala kwayo, ithonya likaSoshangane alinakuphikwa. Igama lakhe lizwakala kulo lonke elase-Afrika eseNingizimu, isikhumbuzo senkathi edlule eyayiphawulwa ukunqotshwa, ukuqina, nokuphishekela amandla okuhlala njalo.
Lesi sihloko sinikeza amazwibela ngempilo kaSoshangane kanye nempumelelo yakhe. Kodwa-ke, indaba yakhe ihlala icebile ngezindawo ezingakahlolwa. Ukuhlola okwengeziwe kungangena ku:
Amandla angaphakathi oMbuso WaseGaza: Ukuhlola ukwakheka kwenhlalo, imikhuba yamasiko, kanye nempilo yansuku zonke yezikhonzi zakhe.
Amasu ezempi kaSoshangane: Ukuhlaziya amaqhinga akhe kanye nezinto ezintsha ezimenze wakwazi ukunqoba izitha ezinamandla.
Umthelela weMfecane emiphakathini yezifunda: Ukuhlola imiphumela edabukisayo yokufuduka kukaSoshangane kanye nomthelela wako ongapheli ezizweni ezahlukene.
Ngokujula ngalezi zingxenye nezinye, sizuza ukuqonda okucebile ngendawo kaSoshangane emlandweni, sivuma akufezile, sibhekane nokungqubuzana kwakhe, nokwazisa inkimbinkimbi eyakha impilo nokukhunjulwa kwakhe.
