Hlatshwayo Clan History

Hlatshwayo Clan Origin & history

It is said that the Hlatshwayo clan was originally Dlamini/Nkhosi.

The Hlatshwayo separated from the Nkhosi clan before Swazis were formed as a Nation. We then joined the Dlamini/Nkhosi again after the Swazi nation was formed. It was normal for clans to part ways and end up back together. To be historically accurate our clan came into being before the Swazi Nation was born, due to the Nguni and not Zulu wars, brothers were separated. Others went with Manukuza (Soshangana) Nxumalo to Moz to form the Gaza kingdom, while others were conquered and accepted Shaka’s overlordship and became amaZulu, while others still remembered ekhaya kwaNkhosi and joined the Swazi nation and became amaSwazi.
Less than two hundred years ago we were one.
Izibongo ezihlobene namaNgwanya:

Zikalala- both clans agree.

Nyalunga/Nyalungu/Mbethe/Mbetse- Hlatshwayos (in FB), disagree.

Personally I think the Mbethe/Nyalungu branch is definitely Hlatshwayo, formed by our brothers who left with Soshangane.

IMVELAPHI YEGAMA ELITHI HLATSHWAYO..
-uHlatshwayo wayengo wakwa Nkosi ebukhosini baseSwazini. Kwenzeka ukuthi omunye wabantwana basendlunkulu walala nodadewabo owayezalwa naye kunina.
Wayesethi ke yena umndeni wakubo umhlabile ngoba umfowabo ulale nodadewabo ngakho usezibiza ngokuthi unguHlatshwayo. Isizwe saqanjwa nguye uHlatshwayo njengoba esephuma emndenini wakhe kwaNkosi ngoba ehlatshiwe eqa imingcele yaseSwazini afike akanise phezu koPhongolo kanye nabafowabo. Kuyilapho esezozala uNgwanya.

UHlatshwayo uyena owenza isenzo esamenza wadatshulwa, waxoshwa negama lakhe lakhishwa olibeni (lineage) lomndenini wakwaNkosi. Wabaleka wabe eshintsha igama lakhe waba uHlatshwayo.

(Another version)
UHlatshwayo noNgwane bazalwa inkosi uLanga. UHlatshwayo owayeyizibulo wayengeke abe yinkosi ngokomthetho wamaSwazi ngakho wasuswa eduze kwenkosana wabekwa eLucolweni abanye bathi eNgongweni. Lokhu kwenzelwa ukuthi angabangisi uNgwane.

Igama likababa kaHlatshwayo alitholakali ngokugcwele, abanye ba uDlamini (don’t knw which one as there are 3), abanye bathi uLanga kaNkosi II.
