Relationship between Mpondo and Mpondomise
Mpondo and Mpondomise were twins. There’s an ongoing argument about which twin is the eldest, the most commonly held view is that Mpondomise is the senior twins.
It is said that while out hunting, Mpondo killed a Lion and refused to hand over the skin to Mpondomise as was the custom (the senior was entitled to skins of certain animals).
The tension between the two started from that day and Mpondo and his followers were the first ones to leave and settle elsewhere away from their father’s land.
