His loyalty to the king established a centuries-long relationship between the Mdletshe clan and the Zulu royal house. Unfortunately, King Dingane did not favour the Mdletshes and there is evidence that he killed Ngomane’s son after the War of Gongqo.

His service continued the Mdletshe clan’s tradition of supporting the Zulu monarchy.

Both men were the same age, and Msushwana played a significant role during King Cetshwayo’s reign. When the king was arrested and fell ill, he asked the nation to protect his son King Dinuzulu. Msushwana’s grandson was one of those who protected the future king, hiding in the bush with him for two years.

He published a book titled “Inyosi” documenting the history of the Mdletshe clan and their relationship with the Zulu royal house, which began during King Shaka’s reign and continues to the present day.

Born on 15 May 1955, he matriculated in 1975 at King Bhekuzulu College. He worked as a clerk in the offices of the Hlabisa magistrate from 1976 to 1986 before becoming chief. He represented Hlabisa in the KwaZulu Legislative Assembly in 1992 and served as Deputy Minister of Justice and Correctional Services in the KwaZulu government until 1994. He earned his BJuris degree from the University of Zululand in 1996. He served as a member of the KwaZulu-Natal Legislature from 1996 to 2014 and was Speaker of the legislature from 1998 to 2004. He passed away in 2024.

They lived along the bank of the Thukela River in KwaZulu-Natal. Under the leadership of Godide kaNdlela and Mavumengwana kaNdlela, sons of Ndlela kaSompisi, they played a major part in the Zulu counter-raid at Middle Drift in June 1879 and in the Battle of Isandlwana. After the partition of Zululand, they were placed in John Robert Dunn’s chiefdom.

He spoke about the late King Goodwill Zwelithini, noting that the king gave nine farms to the Ntuli people, demonstrating the ongoing relationship between the Zulu royal house and the Ntuli clan.
