Chief Ngxeko/Nxekwa (Kingdom Unifier)
Under the reign of Ngxeko, the Thembu emerged as a unified people. He united clans living in Thembuland into a single political entity, owing allegiance to the Thembu royal family, or “Hala Mvelase.” This unification laid the foundation for the independent Thembu Kingdom that would exist until British conquest in the 19th century [citation:2].
