UJeqe Buthelezi wayesondelene kakhulu noZulu. Emveni kokudlula kwenkosi uShaka emhlabeni, inkosi eyalandela lapho uDingane,wahlela ukwakha utulo lokuyisa uJeqe kwagoqanyawo, Nokho elingaphumelelanga ngenxa yokufadalala kwamacebo kaDingane. Ngenkathi uJeqe esezwile ukuthi inkosi ikhothamile wabutha okungamasakana akhe ebusuku wathi nyawo zami ngibelethe, ngoba wayazi ukuthi uma epholisa amaseko bazomvimbezela bangene ngendluvu iyangena emzini kaShaka.

Hhayi-ke wakhala wemuka umfoka Shenge enqamula amahlathi namahlathikazi,imifula nemifudlana. Waze wafika kamhlaba uyalingana, ngapha emuva uDingane wafika namabutho akhe elawini lika Jeqe itshe selome inhlama. Uma efika kamhlaba uyalingana azithele phezu kwamadoda endowo, embuze athi “wahamba umpontsha, ufohla lapha emahlathini nje mfokazana ulibamgisephi?”

“Njengoba bengandile abantu bakwaButhelezi kulendawo sibona kungakuhle ukuthi ushintshe isibongo ozibiza ngaso okweskhashana kuze kudlule ukuthungathwa kwakho, njengoba wazi nawe mfoka Shenge ukuthi izibongo ziqanjwa ngenxa yezenzo Zomuntu nawe sibone kungaba isu elingcono lokuthi sikubize ngoMpontshane ngenxa yokuthi ubuhamba uMpontshampontsha izwe lonke leli”

Bavumelana ngalokho-ke. 

Nyakeni mumbe agule uDingane bazihambe zonke izinyanga kodwa lutho ukuthola usizo, umuntu thizeni ayalele uDingane ngenyanga ezwe kuthiwa ilapha kwasani etholakala kwamhlaba uyalingana. Babophe imthwalo yabo balibhekise Kwamhlaba uyalingana. Bafike kuJeqe Buthelezi owayesezishintshile waba uJeqe Mpontshane, ifike imlaphe inyanga,babonge bangcongcoze,bamxoshise ngezinkomo nangezimbuzi,babone abeze ngayo.

Esamangele uDingane,esazibuza eziphendula kubuye engqondweni yakhe ukuthi akekho umuntu ongakwazi ukumlapha kulokhukugula okwakumphethe ngaphandle komuntu onolwazi lokuthi inkosi ilashwa kanjani………washintsha uZulu wabamnyama ngathi ukhuza izulu,wadinwa wagana unwabu uma sekumcacele ukuthi bebemenza isilima ngokumfihlela umuntu obekufanele ukuthi amyise kwagoqanyawo ngokwesiko. UDingane wabophela ibutho lakhe, waliyala ukuba liyothungatha uJeqe Buthelezi lo osezibiza ngo Jeqe Mpontshane.

Uma ezwa uJeqe ukuthi ufunwa ngapha nangapha abaleke aye eSwazini ( yingakho nanamuhla uthola oMpontshane abangamaSwati abavela eSwatini, ngoba umfokaShenge wafike wakhonza enkosini yabeSwati ngesibongo sakwaMpontshane ukuze inkosi ingeke ifunde incwadi ibhaliwe ngoba weyengabe uzibophile uma ezidalula ngoba wawusuhlatshiwe umkhosi wokuthi uyafunwa ezweni lonkana, wafike wazakhela igama elihle nakhona eSwazini,waba nabafazi nezingane ,kwaba ukwanda koMpontshane eSwazini) amabutho kaDingane aphindela emuva elambatha. Lokho kwamthena amandla nothando uDingane lokufuna umuntu ongatholwa ophila ngokuMpontsha imihla ngemihla.

Emveni kokukhothama kwenkosi uDingane, uJeqe wakhetha ukulishiya elaseSwazini ngoba bathi ayikho indawo emnandi njengekhaya. Wayenamakhosana namakhosazana ayewashiye emuva esingasho ukuthi wayesewakhumbule kakhulu,Kwazise nenkosi eyayimhlupha yayingasekho,wayesenombuso owawumlindile KwaZulu okungukudla izinyoni zabazukulu bakhe.
