Tinanatelo – MDLULI (LUKHELE/SIKHANDZISA)

Lukhele.
Mhlanti wendlunkhulu.
Mbokodvo lenhle legaya bulawu bemakhosi.
Sikhandzisa.
Nyoka.
Sikwayo.
Mambane.
Dlulakholo wemaKholweni.
Wena waMshengu weMashobeni.
Guca batfokote,
Batsi zhi! Yahlaba yaseMnyovini.
Mshengu longavali ngemahlahla,
Uvala ngetinhloko temadvodza.

His reign occurred during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries when the centralisation of polities east of the Drakensberg Mountains disturbed life in the region.

Forced to pledge allegiance to various powers to survive, Nomsimekwana and his followers affiliated first with the Ngwane, later the Mkhize, then the Zulu, and eventually the British. Their associations shifted as threats changed—armies, hunger, marauders, and Boer settlers. After years of displacement, Nomsimekwana finally returned home to re-establish a chiefdom from the remnants who survived the transformation of the region. His story demonstrates the persistence of amalala identities in Natal through the mid-twentieth century.

Their history reflects the complex relationships between smaller polities and the larger Zulu kingdom, with some Mdluli families now being recognised as traditional leaders in areas like Mtubatuba, though this recognition is sometimes contested by other clans who claim earlier occupation.
