Isizwe sakwaMchunu ngaleso sikhathi sabe sibuswa nguMacingwane. Umuzi kaMacingwane wawuphezulu kweThala echaza ukuthi uyiNkosi enkulu ngaphezu kwawo wonke amakhosi akhelane nawo.
uMacingwane wakha ihlalankosi aliqamba ngokuthi kuseNgonyameni, Ngakho wayezibiza nguBhubesi loqobo Lokhu yikho okwamfakela esikhulu isigcwagcwa kuDingiswayo kanye noShaka.
Phela ngaleso sikhathi uDingiswayo wayeqala umsebenzi wokuhlasela izizwe, ayezinqoba zaziba ngaphansi kombuso wakhe.
Umuntu owawuqedelela lowo msebenzi nguShaka, ngoba uDingiswayo wayesekhotheme, yingakho phela kukhona isizwe samaZulu namuhla. Owaqala umsebenzi wokusakha kwa kunguDingiswayo kaJobe.

Royalty from Mchunu last name
Chief Bhambatha kaMancinza (c.1865-1906?)
King of the amaZondi clan in the Colony of Natal and son of Mancinza. Born in 1865 in Mpanza, near the town of Greytown, Natal Colony. He was one of 10,000 Zulu warriors to guard King Shaka Zulu’s mother’s grave for a year and trained under strict Zulu Impi discipline. He is famous for leading an armed rebellion in 1906 when the poll tax was raised from a tax per hut to per head (£1 tax on all native men older than 18 – infamously called ukhandampondo), increasing hardship during a severe economic depression. Bhambatha claimed he was told to lead the rebellion by the de facto Zulu King Dinizulu. When the Natal Police sent about 150 men to arrest him, his forces ambushed them and killed four policemen. Thousands of colonial troops were sent after him, including cavalry and heavy artillery, leading to 3,500 casualties. While the British government claimed Bhambatha was killed in the Battle of Mome Gorge, it is commonly believed among the Zulu people that he fled and eventually settled in Mozambique. He is remembered as an inspiration to South Africans during the anti-apartheid movement.

Inkosi Simakade Mchunu (1924-2015)
Reigning Traditional Leader of the Mchunu clan from 1944 until his death in 2015 at the age of 91. He ruled over the Msinga and Greytown areas in KwaZulu-Natal for 71 years. He was described as an inimitable leader who played a pivotal role in bringing peace and stability to the Msinga region, which had become notorious for faction fighting. President Jacob Zuma extended condolences to the Mchunu clan on behalf of the government and people of South Africa, honoring his legacy as a traditional leader.
Sipho Mchunu (Musician)
Zulu musician and guitar player who formed the legendary band Juluka with Johnny Clegg in the 1970s. Born and raised in Zululand, he met Clegg when the young Clegg would secretly visit townships to learn Zulu music and dance. Their partnership produced a blend of traditional Zulu and pop music, creating the band Juluka (meaning “sweat” in Zulu). Despite apartheid laws forbidding mixed-race public performances, they pushed boundaries and became wildly popular. After Juluka split in 1985, Mchunu returned home to pursue cattle farming. He briefly reunited with Clegg for the album “Ya Vuka Inkunzi.” His collaboration with Clegg is remembered as a pioneering moment in South African music history, bridging cultural divides through the power of music.
