AMAMBHUKA NOKUXABANA NOHULUMENI…
Ngomhlaka-12 kuNdasa(March), umLungu uJ.W Cross. Wabiza imbizo, ngenhloso yokuchazela isizwe saMabomvu, ngokukhokha intela nokubalwa-(Census). Okwakuwuku balwa kokuqala ezweni kazi i-Africa. Isizwe saMabomvu, sasingaphansi kweNkosi uNjengabantu kaSobuzwa kaMyoli kaNyoniyezwe kaMawele kaSomahhashi kaMatomela kaNdlovu kaNomafu kaNgcukumane kaMyaluza kaNgogo Ngubane.
Lesi sizwe sasibizwa ngokhokholozi weNkosi uNjengabantu, uMabomvu owayezalwa nguNgubane owaba yisibongo sawo aMabomvu. Lesi sizwe sasibuswa, futhi sizinze phakathi kwe-Greytown neDundee, ku-district yoMsinga, Mpofana, Ntunjana noMvoti.
INkosi uSobuzwa kaMyoli yehla esihlalweni sobukhosi, yasinika iNkosana yayo uNjengabantu, ngoba yayisindala kakhulu. Kodwa yaqhubeka nokumyala nokumkhulisa umfana wayo ngezokubusa isizwe.
Le mbizo ibizwa nje, vele isizwe saMabomvu, sase siqalile ukubona ukuthi uZulu amaNgisi awuhlukanisa phakathi ukuze akwazi ukuwubusa kahle. UmLungu uJ.W Cross, wayezochaza nange-S.N.A Circular no.6 no-10, yango-1904.
Le mbizo yabanjelwa khona eShikishiki esigodlweni seNkosi uSobuzwa kaMyoli Ngubane. Kwase kusukuma iNduna yeNkosi uNjengabantu kaSobuzwa, uPhikani kaSobuzwa Ngubane, wabuza ukuthi “kungani, kufanele aMabomvu abalwe.” lombuzo wake wabuzwa nayiNkosi uBhambhatha kaMancinza kaJangeni Zondi, nayo eyenqaba ukubalwa.
Lokhu umphathi weMvoti division, uJ.W Cross, kwamethusa kakhulu, kwazise phela aMabomvu ayehlome ngeziNgcula neziNhlendla, ephethe nezihlangu namawisa, ehlome ephelele. UmLungu uJ.W Cross, wayesethi aMabomvu awakhokhe intela eNduneni uPhikani, kwase kusukuma iNkosi uNjengabantu, yakuchitha lokhu.
Yathi “uHulumeni ugcwele inkohliso, uqale ngokuphoqa abantu ukuthi bakhoke intela yoPondo abayisikhombisa-7. Maqede wathembisa ukuthi lokho kwakuyophela emva kweminyaka emine, akwangaphela. Wase uHulumeni esungula i-Marriage Licence Fee, ephoqa ukuba kukhokhwe oPondo abayisihlanu-5. Kodwa kwangamufakela imali uHulumeni. Wase enquma ukwenyusa imali yamaKhanda yaya koPondo abayi-14.” lokhu kwasekelwa nayiNduna uQwaletsheni. Maqede yahlala phansi yalinda kuphendulwe umbuzo kamfowabo uPhikani, kodwa awuphendulwanga.
Yase ilinda ukuba kukhokhwe intela kumfowabo. Kuthe ngakusasa, yaqonda kuMessers .D. Hooper noJ Havemann eyobuza ukuthi kungani yena alindiswe isikhathi eside kangaka ngaphambi kokukhokhelwa na? Wase egcina ngokuthi umhlaba ngowamakhosi, akuwona okaHulumeni. Lokhu iNkosi yaphinde yakubuza umLungu uW Fitzgerald, owaye mukela imali yentela yeziNja. Kodwa lutho ukuphendulwa. Isenzo seNkosi uNjengabantu, senza abeLungu bamubone eyingozi embusweni kaHulumeni, banquma ukumehlisa esihlalweni.
UHulumeni wamaNgisi emva kokukhothama koMntwana uZibhebhu kaMaphitha, wabeka uBhokwe kaZibhebhu ukuba abe yiNkosi yakwaMandlakazi. Wase ubeka uMsenteli ukuba abe yisekela, kanti uMchitheka wabekwa wabayibamba bukhosi. Ngoba uBhokwe wayesemncane. Lokhu kwaMandlakazi akumukelwanga ngoba uMchitheka uyena owayemdala. Kanti noMsenteli owayesekwa ababe ngaphansi kukaFunwayo kaSiza Khumalo, Malunga kaMhuya Mpanza, Mhluzi kaSithanda Manqele kanye noMagqamuzana kaSondlovu Nxumalo. Baya ku-Minister for Native Affiars in Zululand, ePiertermaritzburg. Beyo khononda ngesenzo sikaHulumeni ngo-1905.
UHulumeni wamaNgisi wawusuqhekeza umuzi kaMntwana uZibhabhu kaMaphitha kaSojiyisa kaJama Zulu, ngenhloso yokuthola iMbhuka elihle kakhulu kuHulumeni, nelithembeke kakhulu…Nina, beNsimu ethe ukuvuthwa yaxholoba, zayidla amanhla, zayishiya amazansi!!!!

UHLUBI NENKOSI USIHAYO KAXHONGO…
Ngaphambi kwempi yaseSandlwana. AmaNgisi, ahlasela iNkosi uSihayo kaXhongo Ngobese, eBatshe Valley. Kule ndawo iNkosi uSihayo kaXhongo, yayibekwe yiNkosi uMpande kaSenzangakhona kaJama Zulu. Kodwa empeleni, yayinikezwe umfowabo weNkosi uSihayo, uMfokazana kaXhongo Ngobese. Enikwa yiNgonyama uShaka kaSenzangakhona.
Yase isigcina isisezandleni zeNkosi uSihayo. AbeLungu bahlasela emaQungebeni, bashisa umuzi weNkosi uSihayo kwaSokhexe. Bethi uZulu, uzotatazela ahlome ahlasele. Kusengamalungiselelo empi yaseSandlwana. Kwathi engahlulwa amaNgisi eSandlwana, kwalandlea izimpi ezaholela ekunqotshweni kukaZulu. INkosi uSihayo nendodana uMehlokazulu kaSihayo baboshwa.
UMehlokazulu waboshwa e-Pietermaritzburg ngo-October 1879, iNkosi uSihayo yaboshwa e-Ford Cambridge. Kwathi ingabuyiswa eBatshe, kwase kubekwe iNkosi uHlubi kaMotha Molefe, wakha umuzi wakhe ngasemzini weNkosi uSihayo. Ngalokhu abeLungu babehlose ukuyisusa endaweni evundile iNkosi. INkosi uSihayo yagcina isixoshwa yiNkosi yakwaMolefe, yayobekwa eQhudeni. INkosi uHlubi yabasusa futhi yabasa oPhoko, lapho abazinza khona. Kwathi kuhlasela uMntwana uZibhebhu oNdini, kwashona amaqhawe amaningi okubalwa kuwo, oMnqandi kaMtshana Sibisi, Nobiya kaSotobe, nayo iNkosi uSihayo yasala khona oNdini…Nina Ngqongqo yemikhonto ibanga izililo. INhlendla yeThusi kaMjokwane!

Imvelaphi ngesibongo sakwaMpontshane – emandulo kwakunenkolelo yokuthi uma inkosi esuka ibusa ngalesosikhathi iba nenyanga yayo noma futhi uma ikhothama nenyanga yayo leyo iya kwagoqanyawo, ngoba yayivamise ukuba uhlupho emphakathini ngoba yayingumuntu osondelene kakhulu nenkosi,yayazi izitha zenkosi kanye nezinyathelo ezizothathwa inkosi. ngakho-ke inkosi uShaka yiyo nenyanga yayo eyayibizwa ngo Jeqe Buthelezi.
UJeqe Buthelezi wayesondelene kakhulu noZulu. Emveni kokudlula kwenkosi uShaka emhlabeni, inkosi eyalandela lapho uDingane,wahlela ukwakha utulo lokuyisa uJeqe kwagoqanyawo, Nokho elingaphumelelanga ngenxa yokufadalala kwamacebo kaDingane. Ngenkathi uJeqe esezwile ukuthi inkosi ikhothamile wabutha okungamasakana akhe ebusuku wathi nyawo zami ngibelethe, ngoba wayazi ukuthi uma epholisa amaseko bazomvimbezela bangene ngendluvu iyangena emzini kaShaka.
Hhayi-ke wakhala wemuka umfoka Shenge enqamula amahlathi namahlathikazi,imifula nemifudlana. Waze wafika kamhlaba uyalingana, ngapha emuva uDingane wafika namabutho akhe elawini lika Jeqe itshe selome inhlama. Uma efika kamhlaba uyalingana azithele phezu kwamadoda endowo, embuze athi “wahamba umpontsha, ufohla lapha emahlathini nje mfokazana ulibamgisephi?”
Wabe esebazekela lonke udaba olwalumumpontshisa ezikhaleni nasemahlathini. Lamadoda endawo amzwela amnika indawo yokulala, badingida udaba lwakhe olwalusezithebeni base bephuma nesu lokumfihla.
“Lalela lapha-ke mfoka Shenge, ngoba usuzibikile, thina dingabantu abalungile ngakho ke sithe uma sibhunga ngodaba lwakho sabona ukuthi uzoba usizo emphakathini wethu njengoba unomlando omuhle wokuba inyanga yenkosi yethu uShaka” kusho indoda.
“Njengoba bengandile abantu bakwaButhelezi kulendawo sibona kungakuhle ukuthi ushintshe isibongo ozibiza ngaso okweskhashana kuze kudlule ukuthungathwa kwakho, njengoba wazi nawe mfoka Shenge ukuthi izibongo ziqanjwa ngenxa yezenzo Zomuntu nawe sibone kungaba isu elingcono lokuthi sikubize ngoMpontshane ngenxa yokuthi ubuhamba uMpontshampontsha izwe lonke leli”
Bavumelana ngalokho-ke.
Nyakeni mumbe agule uDingane bazihambe zonke izinyanga kodwa lutho ukuthola usizo, umuntu thizeni ayalele uDingane ngenyanga ezwe kuthiwa ilapha kwasani etholakala kwamhlaba uyalingana. Babophe imthwalo yabo balibhekise Kwamhlaba uyalingana. Bafike kuJeqe Buthelezi owayesezishintshile waba uJeqe Mpontshane, ifike imlaphe inyanga,babonge bangcongcoze,bamxoshise ngezinkomo nangezimbuzi,babone abeze ngayo.
Esamangele uDingane,esazibuza eziphendula kubuye engqondweni yakhe ukuthi akekho umuntu ongakwazi ukumlapha kulokhukugula okwakumphethe ngaphandle komuntu onolwazi lokuthi inkosi ilashwa kanjani………washintsha uZulu wabamnyama ngathi ukhuza izulu,wadinwa wagana unwabu uma sekumcacele ukuthi bebemenza isilima ngokumfihlela umuntu obekufanele ukuthi amyise kwagoqanyawo ngokwesiko. UDingane wabophela ibutho lakhe, waliyala ukuba liyothungatha uJeqe Buthelezi lo osezibiza ngo Jeqe Mpontshane.
Uma ezwa uJeqe ukuthi ufunwa ngapha nangapha abaleke aye eSwazini ( yingakho nanamuhla uthola oMpontshane abangamaSwati abavela eSwatini, ngoba umfokaShenge wafike wakhonza enkosini yabeSwati ngesibongo sakwaMpontshane ukuze inkosi ingeke ifunde incwadi ibhaliwe ngoba weyengabe uzibophile uma ezidalula ngoba wawusuhlatshiwe umkhosi wokuthi uyafunwa ezweni lonkana, wafike wazakhela igama elihle nakhona eSwazini,waba nabafazi nezingane ,kwaba ukwanda koMpontshane eSwazini) amabutho kaDingane aphindela emuva elambatha. Lokho kwamthena amandla nothando uDingane lokufuna umuntu ongatholwa ophila ngokuMpontsha imihla ngemihla.
Emveni kokukhothama kwenkosi uDingane, uJeqe wakhetha ukulishiya elaseSwazini ngoba bathi ayikho indawo emnandi njengekhaya. Wayenamakhosana namakhosazana ayewashiye emuva esingasho ukuthi wayesewakhumbule kakhulu,Kwazise nenkosi eyayimhlupha yayingasekho,wayesenombuso owawumlindile KwaZulu okungukudla izinyoni zabazukulu bakhe.
uma kulandelwa umlando kuyatholakala ukuthi uJeqe wayengumfowabokhokho abazala isizukulwane esizale inkosi yakwaButhelezi ebusayo njengamanje Inkosi uMangosuthu Buthelezi.

AbakwaBhengu 
Ngcolosi
UMUNTU wokuqala ongukhokho wabantu bakwaNgcolosi nguSongololo. Yena wazala uLusibalukhulu, uLusibalukhulu wazala uDlabazana ozala uBhengu.
Kokhokho babantu bakwaNgcolosi igama likaBhengu laduma kakhulu laze lagcina seliyisibongo kuze kube namuhla. Esend*ni likaBhengu kwavela uNgwabini, uNgwabini uzala uLamula. Nazi izihasho zakhe uma egiya: uLamula bonyanga! Kuyophel’ amabele sidl’inyama.
NabakwaJali bangabakhona kwaNgcolosi. Maningi amaqhawe avela kubo aziwa ngokuthi angawakwaNgcolosi njengoBheje kaJali: uMayikhipha! uMayikha kuzond’ umkhwekazi, Ath’ umntanami kendele ndawo, Wendele esigcwelegcweleni.
Iqhawe lesibili lakwaJali kwaNgcolosi nalo elahlabana ezimpini laze lanikezwa izibongo ezasala ziyisibuko sezinto elalizenza nguSikhewu kaJali wakwaNgcolosi: uVuthuvathu! uMvub’ uyaphukutha [kutekezwa ukubhukuda]! uMathanga dabul’ isiziba; uMathendele kabuyi laph’ eyekhona.
Iqhawe lesithathu kulo mkhakha wabakwaJali bakwaNgcolosi nguGwadlela. Naye wavelela esizweni sakwaNgcolosi ngobuqhawe bakhe waze wathola lezi zibongo: uSidunga manzan’ abawesabayo; uMklaklaza njengezulu. uSogweb’ onjengomuny’ uSogweba. OnjengowakwaJobe. Impukane ezibindibindi; uMagwaz’ ephindela njengezulu.
Ngakho-ke abakwaBhengu nabakwaLamula kabaganani. Esendeni likaLamula kuvele uNgwane: “uNgwane-Ngwathi. Abayibonileyo, Bayibone ngasondo ukuthi iwele; Ningayiphungi ngezandla, Ningayiphungi ngezandla, Niyawube niyibangile; Ngob’uNgwan’udl’umuntu, Ebende ngentaba, Ethi yikhon ‘intab ‘izomlamulela.
UNgwane wazala uMepho. Nguyena owayebusa isizwe sakwaNgcolosi ngenkathi iNgonyama uShaka ihlanganisa izizwe zamaZulu ukuba zibe yimbumba eyokwazi ukubhekana nezitha zayo. uMepho wahlakanipha ngokungathathi izikhali enqabe ukuzimbandakanya nezizwe ezazihlanganiswa. Ngakho-ke ISizwe sakwaNgcolosi asizange sihlaselwe ngobuhlakani bakhe: uMdlung’odl’ abantu. Iphephede elingezwa ludaba, Elizw’ udaba ngoba lishunyayeziwe. Inkos’ ephos ‘ukulibala, Kwaze kwacishe kwabus’abezindlwana.
Inzalo kaMepho kaNgwane
UMepho wazala uNkungu noFaku. UNkungu kaMepho umuzi wakhe omkhulu kwakuseSinyameni lapho azala khona indlalifa yakhe uNdlokolo. Waphinde wazala kwenye indlu uHlangabeza unina owalotsholwa ngezinkomo zakwabo Faku umfowabo. Lokhu kwenziwa ngukuthi kwakuthi uma uNkungu efikile kwabo kaFaku alale elawini.
Lowo mfazi ayelala naye lapho elawini wazala uHlangabeza elotsholwe ngezinkomo zakwabo Faku. UNkungu wabulawa ngesikhathi sokubusa kweNgonyama uDingane ngoba wayesolwa ngokuthi uyozimbandakanya namaBhunu ayezinze ngaseMlaza.
Akazange afele eManzalathi igama lomfula esizweni sawaNgcolosi kwaNtunjambili okungamanxiwa okudabuka esizwe sakwaNgcolosi, nokulapho wonke amathuna amakhosi esizwe ekhona. Yithuna likaNkungu kuphela eliseMkhumbane lapho abulawelwa khona.
uBiliza! uBiliza ubeza nazo izibongo, Zinhl’ izandla, Zikulo mntwana, Zinjenge zimvu zisemaxhegwini, Zinjenge zikaNodanga, ngaseKuboshweni. uNyathela ngomkhonto, Abanye benyathela ngezitho.
Ngenxa yokuthi amadodana kaNkungu ayesemancane ngenkathi uyise edlula emhlabeni, isikhundla sobukhosi bakwaNgcolosi sabanjwa wuFaku.
Ukwehlukana kabili kwesizwe sakwaBhengu
Kwathi uma sekufanele kubuse uNdlokolo kaNkungu ngaphambi kwempi kaLangalibalele ngowe 1873, isizwe sehlukana kabili yize wayethathwa njengendlalifa kaNkungu. Yena wasala ehola ingxenyana encane ngaseMngeni. Ingxenye enkulu yazimbandakanya noHlangabeza.
Imbangela yakho konke lokhu kwaba yile: uNdlokolo wazalwa eyinxele. AbakwaNgcolosi kusukela ekufikeni kwabo lapha bevela lapho kwagcina kuseSwazini khona, babekholelwa isaga esithi: “inxele aliwakhi umuzi.”
Kwathi noma sebezinze lapha kwaZulu leyo nkolo yalokhu igxile kakhulu ezingqondweni zabo.
Ngakho-ke kwathi uma uNdlokolo sekufanele athathe isikhundla sobukhosi, oFaku kaMepho, oMayeza kaMqweleba, oCinwa noJali abazalwa ngamakhosi amadala akwaNgcolosi bathi inkosi okwakufanele ibuse isizwe nguHlangabeza kaNkungu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi oMambedu kaMepho namanye amadoda ozalo wona athi inkosi kufanele kube nguNdlokolo kaNkungu.
Baqhubeka oFaku nethimba lakhe bethi bona ngeke babuswe yinxele ngoba liba yishinga lone umuzi. Bagxila ekutheni abayifuni inkosi ephatha isihlangu sayo ngesandla sokudla bonke abantu bebe bephethe izihlangu zabo ngezandla zesinxele. Ngaleso sikhathi sonke isizwe sakwaNgcolosi sasakhe eMngeni phansi kweNtshangwe.
Ukuphindela emanxiweni aseManzalathi
Ngokubona ukuthi ayikho eyayigoba uphondo ezinhlangothini zombili, uFaku owayelibambabukhosi wathatha isinqumo sokuphindela emanxiweni amadala akwaNtunjambili eManzalathi nengxenye eyayesekela uHlangabeza. AMandlalathi ngumfudlana ongenela oThukela. Wakhukhula-ke uFaku nezinkomo zonke kanye nengxenye enkulu yesizwe eyayeseka uHlangabeza. EMngeni kwasala abantu abambalwa ababesekela uNdlokolo.
Isinqumo sikaTheophilus Shepstone [Somtsewu]
Umbango woqhekeko esizweni wakhula kanjalo kwagcinwa kumangalelwene kuTheophilus Shepstone owayenguNobhala weZindaba zaBantu abamnyama kuKoloni yaseNatali. Zombili izingxenye zabizelwa eMgungundlovu (Phithamarizbheki).
Isinqumo sikaTheophilus Shepstone sagcina sivune ingxenye kaNdlokolo kwazise uShepstone walithatha njengenhlekisa iphuzu lenxele nokungabusi kwalo umuzi. Wanquma ukuthi lonke ifa maliphindele eMngeni kuNdlokolo.
Wagcizelela ukuthi kufanele kugxilwe ekutheni uNdlokolo wayezalwa iyiphi inkosikazi kaNkungu, ukuthi wayelinxele kwakungasho lutho. UTheophilus Shepstone wagcina ngokuthi ukuba uHlangabeza wayeyintombazane izinkomo zakhe nxa egana zazizodliwa nguFaku ngoba unina wayelotsholwe ngezinkomo zakwabo.
Umuzi waseMandleni eMandlalathi
Ngenxa yenkolelo yokuthi inxele alibusi umuzi isinqumo sikaTheophilus Shepstone asizange sisho lutho engxenyeni enkulu yabantu ababesekela uHlangabeza. Wakha umuzi wakhe awuqamba igama wathi kuseMandleni. Lelo gama lalisuselwa ekutheni uHlangabeza lowa muzi wayezakhele ngamandla akhe, engawakhile ngefa likaNkungu. Lakhula kanjalo uhlonze lukaHlangabeza: Sijuqu esomndindimana, [kushiwo ukunqamuka kabili kwamadoda] uNkomo zidla nezamaNgisi, NezamaJalimane, Munt’ osentabeni, Uthuleleni?
Ngakbo-ke isinqumo sikaTheophilus Shepstone asizange sisho lutho ngoba isizwe sanda kakhulu eManzalathi endaweni eyayilele wonke amakhosi akwaNgcolosi. Kuyacaca-ke ukuthi lonke uzalo lukaMepho kaNgwane kaLamula, lwabuyela ngakuHlangabeza lwesaba inxele. Ozalweni ngakuNdlokolo baba babili: uMambedu indoda umntanenkosi noZithoya kaMepho.
Ukufa kukaNdlokolo
uNdlokolo owashona mhla Zlyl 19 kuNhlolanja 1915 isibhedukile iMpi yaMazwe oMhlaba [1914-1918]. Indlalifa yakhe kwakungu Vika yena owazala uDinabakubo ozala inkosi uBhekisisa Felix obusa isizwe esincikene nesaseMaphephetheni nesakwaNgcobo eThekwini hhayi kwaNtunjambili eManzalathi lapho umzukulu kaHlangabeza ebusa khona.
Ngenkathi kubheduka impi yamaNgisi namaBhunu [1899-1902], isizwe sakwaNgcolosi ngaphansi kukaHlangabeza sacindezelwa kakhulu ngabaphathi bezempi yamaNgisi ukuthi sikhiphe amadoda ayezohamba nezinqola zempi ezazithwalela amasotsha ukudla nezinye izimpahla ezazidingeka empini.
Laba bantu bakwaNgcolosi kwakudingeka belekelele amaNgisi uma kunesidingo ekunqobeni impi yamaBhunu. Abanye babantu abathunyelwa yiNkosi uHlangabeza Bhengu mhla ziyi 14 Masingana 1902 ngoNonjanja noMagqibo.
Laba bantu banikezelwa kuMkhuzi wempi yamaNgisi owayaziwa ngokuthi ngu Officer Commanding Army Service Corps eMarizbheki yena wase ebathumela ezindaweni ababedingeka kuzo.
Kwathi mhla ziyisi 5 Ntulikazi bonke abantu abamnyama ababephoqwe ukuyosiza impi yamaNgisi badedelwa ukuba babuyele emakhaya, banikeza amawarrants esitimela ukuze bafike emakhaya bedlule eMgungundlovana. Imali ababeyiholelwa ngopondo ababili ngenyanga. Bonke abazange bakhokhelwe ngenyanga yesithupha yokugcina besemsebenzini.
Bathenjiswa ukuthi imininingwane yayizothunyelwa komantshi babo ukuze bakhokhelwe imali ababekweletwa yona kodwa lokhu akuzange kwenzeke.
Ubuhlakani bukaMepho nendawo yabakwaNgcolosi
Indawo yabakwaNgcolosi yagudla umfula iNzalathi yehla njalo kwaNtunjambili yaze yayofinyelela oThukela. Kukhona abathi abantu bakwaLuthuli bavela kwabakwaNgcolosi kodwa abanye bayakuphika lokho.
Siyaz i ukuthi ngemuva kokuthi iNgonyama uShaka ithumele uNongila Mabaso owayeyinhloli enkulu yezwe eMpumalanga Koloni, wabuya nokuthi kwakuliwa abelungu behlasela amaXhosa. Ngakho-ke uShaka wazilungiselela ukuthi impi yabelungu ithi iqambe ifinyelela kwaZulu bese ilindiwe. Ngakho-ke wahlanganisa izizwe zamaZulu. Isizwe sakwaNgcolosi esasibuswa nguMepho naso sazimbandakanya nokugcwele nokuhlanganiswa kwezizwe.
Ngaleso sikhathi abakwaNgcobo nabo base beyingxenye kaZulu ohlangene kumbandakanya bakwaMkhize bakaZihlandlo.
UNgoza kaMkhubukeli Mthembu yena wase ebalekile waphikelela eMampondweni lapho afika abulawelwa khona indlalifa yakhe yabuya yazokhonza kwaZulu.
Enye ingxenye yabakwaNgcolosi ngaphansi kukaJali yona yaphikelela phesheya koMzimvubu nabakwaXesibe nabakwaThusi. Ngakho-ke abakwaJali nabakwaBhengu abaganani. UJali wavela ngoba bayingxenye eyajabha yadangala ngenxa yezimo ezazinzima kubhekenwe nazo.
Isizwe sakwaNgcolosi ngaphansi kukaMepho asizange sihlaselwe ngalobo buhlakani bakhe bokuvuma ukuthi sizimbandakanye ngokugcwele noholo IweNgonyama yamaZulu saze sakhipha ngisho izinkomo zokukhonza eNgonyameni uShaka.
