Sibusiso Nyalunga
l am Nyalunga “Mbethe”. I am no more worried whether the spelling is Nyalunga/u “Mbetse or Mbethe”. My main worry is to know the family “praises”(izibongo); whether it be in Zulu,Swati or Shangani. Any one out there, please help. Mbethe

Sherrington Tawanda Kuyayabo Hlatshwayo
I am Sherrington Kuyayabo (Kuyabo) Hlatshwayo. A descendant of the group that came through Mozambique with Soshangane and I was made to understand that my grand father was Kuyayabo a worrior in Ngungunyana’s army. My father grew up an arphan and told us very little about our history. As a young boy an old lady living near us used to mention names like : Mahlabelakudhe,Magwazangothi,Ndhlukula, Mafuleke and a few others which she said were the line of the Hlatshwayos from Swaziland . I was born in the then Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) 70 years ago and grew up as a Ndau boy. I therefore do not speak any other language except a bit of English and Ndau. I am very very interested to know my /our roots. I was very touched with your narration but could hardly understand fully. Any chance of you putting all this and your future research in English ?

Duma Hlatshwayo
Evening maHayise. Thank you for the comments concerning our different izithakazelo. My father used to say it over and over that we from Commondale (eKhomondeni) and from Gege are not of the Khobongo (not Khobobo) lineage.
Chief Velamuva has a son here in South Africa but l can not mention his name without finding out from him if he wants to be mentioned here. If he agrees, l would like him to add to this history.
Sihlisizwe Hlatshwayo
Mhayise! Cebisa! I may not have more knowledge of the names you mentioned but I can confirm that Soshangane left with some Hlatshwayo warriors when he fled to Moz. History tells us that the Hlatshwayos and all the clans that occupied the Pongola area where on the side of Zwide kaLanga and his general-in-chief Soshangane in their fight against Shaka. In those days regiments were formed not by surname but by age group. Hence you’d find a Hlatshwayo, Tshabalala, Sibiya, etc in the same regiment. Now when he fled, Soshangane alias Manukuza, took some regiments under his authority with him to Moz. That’s why you will find Hlatshwayos, Chabalalas, Sibiya, Khozas now residents of Zim.

Sihlisizwe Hlatshwayo
Mbetse! Bulongo betinkomo! In history there was a Hlatshwayo who sired Zwangendaba. In my research about the Hlatshwayo clan, I found out that this Hlatshwayo (name) was of the Jele/Gumbi/Tshuma clan and not related to Hlatshwayo (surname). He, of the name, is younger compared to the one of the surname by 2 or 3 generations. We the Hlatshwayos, are definitely not related to the Jele family of surnames. But research is a live thing, it changes with time so maybe there will be more information about Hlatshwayo the man. What is confusing is that there are descendants of Hlatshwayo (name), who now reside in countries like Tanzania who claim that their Hlatshwayo had the same clan praises as ours. Another issue is that Zwangendaba did go to Moz and stayed a few years there and then crossed to Zim. So the Hlatshwayos in those countries need to be sure which family they belong to. Which is not easy because there were Hlatshwayos (surname) who went with Soshangana and Mzilikazi to those respective countries in the same period. The only convincing fact which at least gives guidance in this discussion lies in that the Nyalungu never intermarry with the Hlatshwayos. So it is not in the name, but the clan, that there’s a relationship. My opinion of course.
