Iimbongo zikaMsiza:
Saphuma kuLangalibalele, kuDlomu kaMthimkhulu.
Sikhutjhwe ngezekhaya, sabetha ithango ngemva.
Wazibetha zasuka uSwangubo kaLiphahla,
Wehla ngamathango womabili, wehla ngeKangala, wathi asemithonjaneni yikaSwangubo wazibethela zajama.
Yehla inyoni yesirhodimo
Umoya omumbi owageda iinkomo nabantu.
Abantu sewuqede amatjhumi abunane, Iinkomo uqede amatjhumi alithoba nanye.
Wazibetha zasuka uSwangubo kaLiphahla.
Uthe angaphetjheya kweligwa neligwana, wazibethela zajama.
Kwavela uNdala. Undala uvela ngoNomude.
USwangubo uthi: “ungiliphi?”
UNdala naye uthi kuSwangubo “Ungiliphi?” wathi: “NginguSwangubo”
Uthi:”Ndala wenzani uvuthela igazi ngomlomo”.
UNdala wathi: “Swangubo, ubuza nelibonwako na?”
Usukile uSwangubo kaLiphahla, waya kunina uNangubokazi, wathi: “Mma uyezwa na? Nangu uNdala uphethe amathumbu ngezandla, uvuthela igazi ngomlomo.”
Unina wathi: Mntanami, isifo samanzi ngiyasesaba; Abangani bakho laba, bazakuthi nabakubulalako nawe uzazibulalela.”
UNangubokazi wakwaMnguni, umfazi onamabele amade, uthe: “Ngipha ingubo yedini”
Wayithatha wayimbatha emhlana, enye wamnikela waguqa ngamadolo phezu kwayo, wathi: “Mntanami ngibakhandisile, bazakuthi bakubulala, nawe uzibulalele, lambetha lingaziwa.”
Uthi uKumbuza kaMsiza, ukhumbuza abakhulu ukuhlabana, kandi abancani balibele.
Wahlulukela uGobholibi kaMasanabo,
USotjambunda wabandazela iimbambo zamadoda,
USomatjhiya, indoda eyakhotha ubovu ngomlomo,
USombambo zaya uluhlu zaya amasolokohlo !!
