Isibongo sakwaMiya savela ngoMiya kaMtiti wokuqala (Mzizi). Laba bantu bakwaMiya babuye baziwe ngokuthi bangabantu baseMazizini noma bangaMazizi.

Inkosi uDweba nayo yabusa ngesikhathi seLembe. (Mathathu amakhosi aseMazizini abusa ngesikhayhi seLembe.)Kuthiwa kwakuthi uma iyozikhulula endle ithi makwendlalwe amacansi aze afinyelele lapho eyayiyozikhululela khona ukuze izinyawo zayo zingezukuthinta phansi enhlabathini.

Kuthiwa langa limbe kwaqhamuka impi yenkosi uMatiwane kaMasumpa eyayikade ibalekela impi yeLembe yazithela esigodlweni saMazizi,kwagcina kuliwe enkulu impi. Impi yenkosi uMatiwane yayimandla vele kuneyenkosi uDweba, ngalokho-ke yahlulwa eyenkosi uDweba.
Inkinga eyavela ngeyokuthi inkosi uDweba ayikwazanga ukubaleka ngoba izinyawo zayo zazithambe kakhulu, ngoba zazingajwayele ukunyathela emhlabathini. Kwadingeka amadoda ayizidlakela aseMazizini ukuthi azame ukuyithwala abaleke nayo kodwa kwanhlanga zimuka nomoya. Lawo madoda awakwazanga ukugijima nayo ibanga elide, zagcina ziwaficile izinsizwa zaseMangwaneni, zawathunga wonke ngemikhonto afa wonke, nenkosi uDweba nayo ayisindanga.
Elinye iqhawe laseMazizini elagqama kakhulu nguMphumane Miya owabe eyinyanga yeSilo uMzilikazi kaMashobana.
Uyakhumbuleka uMphubane Miya ngenkathi iNkanyamba yaseNdinaneni ibulala inkosi uMagodongo Mahlangu kwaNdebele.

Kuthiwa langa limbe uMphubane wakhokhoba walandela inkosi uMagodongo ngenkathi iya endle iyozikhulula,wafika weba ucezwana lwendle yayo wayulusebenza ngemithi yakhe yaseMazizini.Awu!
