UHlahla loMnqawe neloMqokolo.

Abathe ukulivuna kwabo balihlohloza.

UMsontane ongambobo yomnxeba,

ngisho ngamazwi abakusontela wona abakwaZulu.

UPhondo olumyama lwakoKhubazi.

Lwadla uNomxhamana eziBisini,

lwadla uNtendeka kwaDlangezwa.

USilwane vukela abantu ekweneni.

USilwane ubeyiNduna kwaGibixhegu.

Uze noMdlaka ngaseNtshobozeni,

tshelani uSphingo kwabakwaHlengwa.

Nithi iZilo zikaJama zibulelene,

esakwaDukuza nesakwaKhangela.

UMnguni unabele nakwese Ndlovu.

Muntu unesihlobo ngase Sichasheni.

Gijima ngazo zonke izindlela,

ubikele uMthezuka eSichasheni,

uthi uMthezuka igama likaMagugu akaliyeke.

UMagugu ngowakithi eMgungundlovu.

uVezi uManyelela onjengeVezimanzi.

Uyajabula mfazi waseNsuze,

wena owabona uManyelela eyobulala izitsha zaseNdinaneni.

UDledle ongankomo zecala,

zona zimabuya nasekwalukeni.

Ohambe ngokhalo lwamathafa,

waye wayibuthisa oBhalule.

Uthe ephuma oBhalule,

waye walala eNkuthu,

waye wawela eBulingwe kwaMzilikazi.

INyoka eqophe umqala yashiya isibili,

yathi izoqedela ngomhla izovela.

INsimu ethe ukuvuthwa yaxholoba,

zayidla amanhla zayishiya amazansi.

USomnandi wami woza ngange umlomo,

ngingaze ngisale ngibe nomngandeni.

Hlanga lomhlabathi! Vezi Silo sikaZulu….

IMPHI YASEMHULUHULU

IMPHI YASEMHULUHULU

Tive lensundvu betitsi lapho tifelwe yinkhosi yato noma ngulomkhulu bese tiphuma imphi tiohlasela letinye tivana. Imvama bekuhlaselwa leto letedzelelekile, tigwazwe, temukwe netinkhomo tato.

Ekufeni kwenkhosi Mswati II, kwacaca kwekutsi imphi ngabe iyaphuma. Ibhekephi? Inkundzi naseyibhonsa bafana bayibongela, ayitidvumeli tinkhabi, kopha idvumela lenye inkundzi. Inkundzi-ke leyayibongelelana naNgwane beyiyaseLubhalule, liPedi.

INdlovukati yaseLudzidzini, uLaZidze(Tsandzile), yawuphikisa lomcondvo wekukhipha imphi ngesikhatsi lesimnyama, sive sifake ingubo emlonyeni, kufe iNkhosi yelive. INdlovukati yona yasekwa nguSandlane Zwane, labeyindvuna yaseLudzidzini futsi angundvunankhulu wesive. Labaveta umbono wekutsi ayihlome yindvuna yakaHhohho, Matsafeni Mdluli, labe atiwa ngekutsi yindvuna yelilawu lenkhosi. INdlovukati yabuye yatsi etu kwekutsi sive sisebumnyameni, kute lotawuvunulela imphi loku phela uMntfwana Ludvonga abesasemncane.

Cha, abate bavumelana kuloko boSandlane naMatsafeni. Matsafeni atsi ayihlome, Sandlane atsi cha ayisuhloma. Matsafeni abecugcutelwa baNtfwabenkhosi, banakaboMswati, boMsukusuku waseSigombeni, naKhoza waseLukhetseni, naSondabane waseLuphuyeni nalabanye bantfwabenkhosi. Bameseka nje bayabona kwekutsi njengoba inkhosi isasephas’ eluseko nje tinkhomo letiyawudliwa kuyawuba ngetabo. Nemadvodza lamanyenti ebandla abesime ngakuye Matsafeni. Watsi Matsafeni bantfwabenkhosi labo ngabo bayawuvunulela imphi esikhundleni seMntfwana Ludvonga losemncane.

Kwabonakala-ke kwekutsi boSandlane naLaZidze linyenti liyabehlula, phela kaNgwane livi lemadvodza liyahlonishwa ngoba neNkhosi imbala emadvodza lamadzala ebandla ayayisola nayingasahambisi ngendlela tintfo, ilalele nangabe ifuna umbuso wayo utinte nayo.

Nemambala-ke yaphuma imphi, kepha iNdlovukati yatsi impela lemphi ayiyuwuhamba nemadloti, kuyawuba khona litfunti lelimnyama embili, ingabi khona imphumelelo, kepha hamba juba bayokuhlutsa embili. Yaphuma-ke ibheke eLubhalule kulebeSutfu enyakatfo. BeSutfu bebatihlalele bangacabangi nakancane kwekutsi hleze kube khona kati lobanyonyobelako.

Itsite imphi naseyisedvute, kwakhishwa tinhloli nebancutsi kuyohlola live netindlela tekuhlasela, nekuyoncutsa emtini waSikhukhune. Leto tinhloli nebancutsi babuya babika kwekutsi luhambo lwabo lube lubi, lukhomba kwekutsi luhambo lwemphi lubi. Tatsi tonkhe tindlela letiyimfihlo tivelile. Tisho noba kwatsi lapho bancutsi batsi bangena emtini waSikhukhune ebusuku takhalima tinja. Kwaphuma emadvodza etindlini amemeta. Base bayabaleka bangasawentanga umsebenti.

Ngakusasa leto tinhloli tanyonyoba ngetihlahla tenyusa tihosha titsi tilinga kona kuhlolisisa live. Titsite tisanyonyoba njalo nako setelamela tidzandzane tebaPedi titfota tinkhuni. Letidzandzane tababona labantfu letingabati kantsi futsi nekuvunula kwabo kwehlukile, nelulwimi bakhuluma lulwimi letingalwati. Tatsi galo yephuka setiya ekhaya. Tabona tinhloli kwekutsi ngumnyama wempundzi, indlela imnyama khwishi. Tabuyela emphini kuyobika.

Titsite lapho letidzandzane tifika tibika ekhaya, babona baPedi kwekutsi kungenteka kukhona imphi yemaSwati letako. Bahloma masinyane, base bakhipha tabo tinhloli nabo kutsi tiyohlola kutsi nembala kunjalo na. Nembala tayibona. Tatsi tinahlaba umkhosi wayikhipha Sikhukhune. Yaye yayobhaca etintsabeni eMhuluhulu. Phela live letintsaba leli. Yaye yabhaca endzaweni leyingcingwana lapho imphi yemaSwati itawengca khona.

Utsite Matsafeni angeva umbiko wetinhloli, wabona kutsi lamuhla kulamuhla, timbi. Phela yingwazi lendzala Matsafeni, kadze atilwa timphi. Kwaba khashane embili, kwaba khashane emuva. Kungasekho nekubuyela emuva. Walikhumbula livi leNdlovukati. Noko masita abengasekho noba emajaha nawa, abengeke abuyele emuva angakayiboni intfombi latekuyisoma, Sikhikhune phela.

Wayikhomba embili Matsafeni, yaye yangena ekhatsi kwetintsaba, lapho indzawo iyimbi khona. Emabutfo asahamba alandzelana, abekelele. Kunjena nje impi yebaPedi igcwele tonkhe tintsaba, bakaNgwane baboni bona kepha yona iyababuka.

Utsite lapho umSutfu asabona kutsi seyisesakeni, wayinika! Wayinika yadvumela nhlangotsi tombili, ngembili nangemuva. Waba sembiteni Ngwane bampheka ngakokane beSutfu. Kwakhala umkhonto, kwadvuma sibhamu. Ngala basetulu labanye bajikijela ngematje, buhuluhulu. Ize leyo ntsaba kutsi nuMhuluhulu nje.

Yagcuzuka yakaNgwane yabaleka, yashiya emajaha alele phasi kubusacalala. Yatsi nayigcuzuka ibaleka, naba beSutfu bangatibeki phansi bayiijimisa. Sebahamba bayatigwazela nje labo lasebehluleka kubaleka lasebabanjwe nangemaphika. Aphela emajaha akaNgwane agcwala tintsaba netiganga. Nebantfwabenkhosi bona laba bebatsi ayihlome banyenti labaphelela khona lapho. BoKhoza naboSondabane naboMsukusuku nalabanye. Msukusuku yena kutsiwa wabaleka wabaleka, kwabonakala kutsi emandla asayaphela. Kwachamuka Mafa waMngayi Fakudze wamkhandza inceku yakhe solo imelekelela kubaleka asabanjwe naliphika. Khona lapho kwawa ingwe yakhe, batsi bayamvunulisa yawa futsi. Naba beSutfu betile ngaleso sikhatsi. Kwabonakala kutsi imamba lemnyama ayinakuphutfunyelwa. Bamembesa ngesihlangu sakhe batsatsela ngematubane. Yafika yamgwaza yebeSutfu.

Matsafeni naye wanyamalala kulowo mnyama kwatsiwa ufile, ngisho bafati bakhe betfwala tintsambo baze batetfula bakhohlwa nje. Sekutsi kamuva chamu Matsafeni! Uyaphila. Wafa asatifela kamuva. Kepha manyenti emakhaya lokwetfwalwa intsambo kuwo kaNgwane ngemphi leyayikhishwe nguMatsafeni nebantfwabenkhosi Sobhuza, baphikisa livi leNdlovukati Tsandzile.

Ngendzabuko bakaMncina bakanye nebakaMkhwanati, Shiba kanye naboMalambe. Kuyaye kutsiwe beSutfu, lokungenteka kube liphutsa ngobe kadzeni lonkhe leli lakaNgwane kusuka eLusutfu kuya eNkomazi, kuya kuboNgwenya, boKupheleni, boMotjane naboMalolotja kubheka kuboNhlazatje, boTjakastad naboStingidolobha. Lonkhe lelo lalakhe tive letatikhuluma tilwimi letihlobene kakhulu nesiNdebele. EmaSwati-ke naleto tive abetibita ngebeSutfu.

Kutsiwa lesibongo sachamuka ngekutsi sive sakaMncina sasitsi nasivunula, bagabe lugogo lwenyamatane lamkhonweni kusuka engcoseni kuya esihlakaleni, lolugogo luvale wonkhe umkhono. Bakubita ngekuqina noma kuncina ngalolulwimi lwabo. Kwatsiwa boMncina, bantfu labancinako.

Bebakhelene naboMagagula baMnjoli bakaMncina, bakhe eDlangeni, eMdzimba, kuleli lakaGama lamuhla.Nome kungacaci kahle kutsi bebakhontile yini kumaTfombeni.Sekutsi mhla Somhlolo achitsa Mnjoli, inkhosi yebakaMagagula, nabo bakaMncina sebayachitseka emakhosi abo ayabaleka. Kutsiwa abheka kuMalutha.

Labanye kepha bakaMncina kababalekanga, babhaca eMdzimba, kulemitsandza legcwele khona. Sebayamenyetwa-ke nakuphela imphi, bayaphuma emitsandzeni bayakhontiswa kaNgwane. Sebakha umuti khona lapho eMdzimba, kwakha umnumzane lokutsiwa nguMabaleka, wakhona kaMncina, babukwa yindvuna yakhe Somhlolo, uSokhukhuza wakaHlophe. Nabo nje labatalwa nguye uSokhukhuza batikhulu kaLamgabhi. Abakhile alimile, afuyile, asebenta loMabaleka, asebenta kushuka tingogo. Nako uSokhukhuza anemkhuba wekutsi uma atenekile Mabaleka letingogo, asuke ayotiba yena.

Kamuva bakaNgwane sebahlushwa timphi takaZulu. Soyasuka uSokhukhuza utewubuta kuye Mabaleka kutsi kute yini lamatiko lonemutsi wemphi. Nguye lolatiko phela Mabaleka lonkhe lelive, nekuma kwalo. Mabaleka wamlayela bakaGama, latsi batiwa bakaMaseko kutsi bakhephi. Nako Sokhukhuza aya kumaNgcamane lamyalela laba bakaGama phasi kuMawelawela. Sewubuya nabo uSokhukhuza bakaGama beta enkhosini. Kutsiwa abayokwenta lentfo yabo phasi eLuphongolo ematubukweni lapho yakaZulu iwela khona nayita kaNgwane.

Akasekho uSomhlolo lapho, sewakhotsama. Watsi nakakhotsama wabekwa lapha eMdzimba emtsandzeni. Sekutsi nakuphela kuvuna likwindla, sewuyatsatfwa nakuya kudze kudze eMbilaneni lapho emakhosi akaNgwane abebekwa khona, abengakabekwa eMdzimba. Phela ngesiSwati sidvumbu sasingawuweli umfula ehlobo, kwakutila loko ngoba kutsiwa litawugcoba kuphele kudla emasimini. EMdzimba kucale ngaLudvonga wesibili kutsi emakhosi abekwe khona. Lapho abekwa khona uSomhlolo sekuba yindzawo lebalulekile. Sekuyababelwa nekubabelwa, umilo akufuneki ufike khona. Kubabela uSokhukhuza, ngumsebenti wakhe.

Sebalandziwe bakaGama le kuMawelawela, babekwa eMdzimba nabo bakhelana naMabaleka. Bakhile, sekuhlasela indlala lenkhulu, ivimbetela lonkhe live. Mabaleka ndzini loku ulimile nje unetilulu temabele, unetingungu letigcwele sancoti. Sebayasuka bakaGama bayokhala kuSokhukhuza, kutsi Hlophe safa yindlala. Utsi uSokhukhuza loku nami ngite lutfo, sitawutsini. Batsi boGama sitibonile tilulu taloMsutfu, tigcwele, unawo emabele. Soyasuka uSokhukhuza uhlomisa imphi yakakhe, lamajaha akaHlophe, nalaba bakaGama. Utsi ningagwazi muntfu ngoba akusiyo imphi lekhishwe yinkhosi le, uma kungachitseka ingati nawo emasondvo enyatsi enhloko kitsi. Iyaphuma-ke imphi ebusuku iyovimbetela kaMncina eMdzimba. Kutsiwe bafike nje babhule emahawu. Nembala nayifika kaMncina, iwukake umuti waMabaleka. Bhu bhu bhu emahawu! Nabavuka bakaMncina, hhawu yimphi! Nako babaleka babheka enyakatfo baze bawele iNkomazi. Nabewele iNkomazi iyabuya imphi. Sekutsiwa yakhani lapho boMncina.

Mabaleka utele Mfundza lotele Zikhotheni.

Ukhona lomunye wakaMncina, Ntantela lesingati kutsi abetalwa ngubani. Kutsiwa abeyiNyatsi ngekubutseka. Nemphini yaseMshadza, mhla kuhlaselwe Sekhukhune wahlabana. Yena-ke Ntantela wanikwa lela laseDwaleni kutsi alibuse.

Lelinye live laboMncina, uSomhlolo wakha umuti weMbelebeleni , wabeka khona inkhosikati uLaMncina, letele umntfwanenkhosi Mantintinti, lotele Mtfonga. EMaphalaleni khona kwakhiwa waseMaphalaleni, kaLaNdwandwe, uLaDzindzibele. Lonkhe lelo lalilakaMncina.

Mhlangala sewutsi nasatsatsa bukhosi sewufuna kubulala labanakabo. Bashele yena wabaleka wabheka kaNgwane, Magobhoyi wabheka kaMshweshwe, Magodongo yena wasindvwa tinyawo, kanjalo wadliwa ngumkhonto.

Bashele ubalekela kaNgwane nje kusekhabonina, ngobe unina nguLaNdvungunye, ngudzadzewabo wemntfwanenkhosi Malunge eNyakeni. Uma afika kaNgwane sewuyatikhalela engwenyameni, kuMswati, kuLodvungandzaba weMbelebeleni. Usaphila unina, umshiye le kaMlambo. Ufika kuMswati utsi: ” Awu Nkhosi, ngilana nje angati kutsi make usele njani lemuva, nekutsi ngitamkhandza asaphila yini. Loku bayamhlupha laba balenye indlu, leletsetse bukhosi.”

Sebayatfukutsela-ke bakaNgwane, batfukutsela bagcwala kokane. Sewuyayikhipha-ke Mswati, ukhipha iNyatsi. Uyikhipha kantsi kusebusika. Phela lela lakaMlambo lisenkhangala, nakukusebusika nje lichwa lidla lubi, liyakhitsika nekukhitsika.

LekaMlambo kutsiwa batsi nabeva kutsi nayi ingene yakaNgwane, sekusuka logogo waBashele, lotala Mlambo, ente sihlati. Nenta lesihlati sewuphuma naletinye talukati bayaloya, baloya litulu. Lajika litulu lenta lichwa lelibi. Ifika leyakaNgwane seyifile ngemakhata. Seyigongobele, ayisakhoni nekulwa kahle. Kwaba kwehlulwa kwayo njalo bakaMlambo batigwazela nje.

Nayibuyela emuva imphi bafika bayabika kuMswati, kutsi: “Awu! Wena waphakatsi usehlulile. Sibulewe lichwa safika sesigongobele.” Awu kwaba kubi sibili. Kepha yabindzisa nje ingwenyama. Baphela busika, kwetfwasa lihlobo laphelela, kwagidvwa iNcwala loyo mnyaka nayo yaphela. Kutsite ngalolandzelako umnyaka, ngeNdlovu lenkhulu sekuphele wonkhe umsebenti welive, sewuyayikhipha futsi Mababal’ ahlome nengelilanga lelibi, uyayikhipha Mswati khawula bantfu ngemvimbi nangemvimbetelo! Ukhipha yona iNyatsi futsi.

Mswati lomnyama kulabalutfuli.

Bakuva nangetingcigco bayakubalekela.
Dvuma phasi-ke Mphandleni lonjengelilanga.

Labonwa tingabisa tekhaya netsafeni,
Tagijima tayawutekela bonina emakhaya,
Baphuma balihlola ngetikhala temaguma.
Malokotsa lomnyama, ngulosenhlambelweni.
Nhlitiyo lemhlophe ngekwehlula emanga emadvodza.
Nembala Makhosetive sewukhulile,
Kukhula kwakho kungiphicile;
Ingani ukhule ngekutfula,
Wakhula ngentfutfuko Mbangazitha.
Kubhodla kwakho kuletsa kutfula Mlisa.
Unyatsele eShiselweni live lonkhe lanambitsa Silosikhulu.
Ubhodle eNgwane ekolishi, lakhula likolishi.
Mahamba yedvwa lonjengelilanga,
Mahamba yedvwa lonjengenkhom’ ilahlekile.
Ngikusho ngiyakwesaba-ke Makhosetive,
Inkhani awucedvwa Mlisa!
Uyimbube uyingwenyama!
Wena ungangaLudzeludze!
Bayethe!
Wena waphakathi!

Kwabonakala-ke kwekutsi boSandlane naLaZidze linyenti liyabehlula, phela kaNgwane livi lemadvodza liyahlonishwa ngoba neNkhosi imbala emadvodza lamadzala ebandla ayayisola nayingasahambisi ngendlela tintfo, ilalele nangabe ifuna umbuso wayo utinte nayo.

Nemambala-ke yaphuma imphi, kepha iNdlovukati yatsi impela lemphi ayiyuwuhamba nemadloti, kuyawuba khona litfunti lelimnyama embili, ingabi khona imphumelelo, kepha hamba juba bayokuhlutsa embili. Yaphuma-ke ibheke eLubhalule kulebeSutfu enyakatfo. BeSutfu bebatihlalele bangacabangi nakancane kwekutsi hleze kube khona kati lobanyonyobelako.

Itsite imphi naseyisedvute, kwakhishwa tinhloli nebancutsi kuyohlola live netindlela tekuhlasela, nekuyoncutsa emtini waSikhukhune. Leto tinhloli nebancutsi babuya babika kwekutsi luhambo lwabo lube lubi, lukhomba kwekutsi luhambo lwemphi lubi. Tatsi tonkhe tindlela letiyimfihlo tivelile. Tisho noba kwatsi lapho bancutsi batsi bangena emtini waSikhukhune ebusuku takhalima tinja. Kwaphuma emadvodza etindlini amemeta. Base bayabaleka bangasawentanga umsebenti.

Ngakusasa leto tinhloli tanyonyoba ngetihlahla tenyusa tihosha titsi tilinga kona kuhlolisisa live. Titsite tisanyonyoba njalo nako setelamela tidzandzane tebaPedi titfota tinkhuni. Letidzandzane tababona labantfu letingabati kantsi futsi nekuvunula kwabo kwehlukile, nelulwimi bakhuluma lulwimi letingalwati. Tatsi galo yephuka setiya ekhaya. Tabona tinhloli kwekutsi ngumnyama wempundzi, indlela imnyama khwishi. Tabuyela emphini kuyobika.

Titsite lapho letidzandzane tifika tibika ekhaya, babona baPedi kwekutsi kungenteka kukhona imphi yemaSwati letako. Bahloma masinyane, base bakhipha tabo tinhloli nabo kutsi tiyohlola kutsi nembala kunjalo na. Nembala tayibona. Tatsi tinahlaba umkhosi wayikhipha Sikhukhune. Yaye yayobhaca etintsabeni eMhuluhulu. Phela live letintsaba leli. Yaye yabhaca endzaweni leyingcingwana lapho imphi yemaSwati itawengca khona.

Utsite Matsafeni angeva umbiko wetinhloli, wabona kutsi lamuhla kulamuhla, timbi. Phela yingwazi lendzala Matsafeni, kadze atilwa timphi. Kwaba khashane embili, kwaba khashane emuva. Kungasekho nekubuyela emuva. Walikhumbula livi leNdlovukati. Noko masita abengasekho noba emajaha nawa, abengeke abuyele emuva angakayiboni intfombi latekuyisoma, Sikhikhune phela.

Wayikhomba embili Matsafeni, yaye yangena ekhatsi kwetintsaba, lapho indzawo iyimbi khona. Emabutfo asahamba alandzelana, abekelele. Kunjena nje impi yebaPedi igcwele tonkhe tintsaba, bakaNgwane baboni bona kepha yona iyababuka.

Utsite lapho umSutfu asabona kutsi seyisesakeni, wayinika! Wayinika yadvumela nhlangotsi tombili, ngembili nangemuva. Waba sembiteni Ngwane bampheka ngakokane beSutfu. Kwakhala umkhonto, kwadvuma sibhamu. Ngala basetulu labanye bajikijela ngematje, buhuluhulu. Ize leyo ntsaba kutsi nuMhuluhulu nje.

Yagcuzuka yakaNgwane yabaleka, yashiya emajaha alele phasi kubusacalala. Yatsi nayigcuzuka ibaleka, naba beSutfu bangatibeki phansi bayiijimisa. Sebahamba bayatigwazela nje labo lasebehluleka kubaleka lasebabanjwe nangemaphika. Aphela emajaha akaNgwane agcwala tintsaba netiganga. Nebantfwabenkhosi bona laba bebatsi ayihlome banyenti labaphelela khona lapho. BoKhoza naboSondabane naboMsukusuku nalabanye. Msukusuku yena kutsiwa wabaleka wabaleka, kwabonakala kutsi emandla asayaphela. Kwachamuka Mafa waMngayi Fakudze wamkhandza inceku yakhe solo imelekelela kubaleka asabanjwe naliphika. Khona lapho kwawa ingwe yakhe, batsi bayamvunulisa yawa futsi. Naba beSutfu betile ngaleso sikhatsi. Kwabonakala kutsi imamba lemnyama ayinakuphutfunyelwa. Bamembesa ngesihlangu sakhe batsatsela ngematubane. Yafika yamgwaza yebeSutfu.

Matsafeni naye wanyamalala kulowo mnyama kwatsiwa ufile, ngisho bafati bakhe betfwala tintsambo baze batetfula bakhohlwa nje. Sekutsi kamuva chamu Matsafeni! Uyaphila. Wafa asatifela kamuva. Kepha manyenti emakhaya lokwetfwalwa intsambo kuwo kaNgwane ngemphi leyayikhishwe nguMatsafeni nebantfwabenkhosi Sobhuza, baphikisa livi leNdlovukati Tsandzile.
