UNgomane wayezalwa nguMqomboli .UNgomane wabe eyindunankulu yenkosi yabakwaMthethwa inkosi uDingiswayo kaJobe kaKhayi .Wabe esembeka laphaya eSangoyana lapho akhe khona umuzi wakhe waseZisayini[Zisaleni] ‘Iklolodo’ elibomvu laseZisayini’ kwelakwaSomopho eBaThenjini.

Ngesikhathi kubusa iLembe kwaZulu, waba ngomunye wondunankulu balo iLembe efundisa amabutho izindlela zokulwa izimpi ngomkhonto owodwa [iKlwa]. Futhi-ke iLembe kalizange lihlasele abantu baseMadletsheni ngoba lalibathatha njengabantu bakubo lapho elakhulela khona kwaMthethwa njengoba kwakuyibo ababevikela umbuso wakwaMthethwa .

-UNgubhane kaNgomane:

Leli qhawe lakwaMdletshe labe lingumngane omkhulu weSilo uShaka. UNgubhane wafa ebulawa yiSilo saseMgungundlovu inkosi uDingane kaSenzangakhona ngoba sase sesibulala bonke labo ababezwana neLembe .Naye -ke umtaka Ngomane wawela kulolo gibe.

-UMfusi kaGubashe:

Elinye iqhawe lakwaMdletshe nguMfusi ,uSembethwa buhlal’obubomvu kaGubashe kaMnomo. Yena wayeyiqhawe leSilo sakwaNodwengu[inkosi uMpande kaSenzangakhona] owayethembeke kakhulu eSilweni sakwaNodwengu. Yena -ke leliya izwe walisikelwa uSimayedwa njengelanga[ISilo uMpande] .Lelo zwe izwe laseNhlwathi lapho wakha umuzi wakhe waseZibayeni namuhla sekubizwa ngawo isiteshi samaphoyisa eZibayeni .

Lapho-ke uMfusi wazala uMsushwana[iMboza\UThulwane ibutho lakhe] wamyisa eNdlunkulu kwaZulu ukuba ayofundiswa ngokuphatha isizwe: Futhi-ke uMsushwana wayehlakaniphe kakhulu. Wayesebuthweni elilodwa noJininindi kaNdaba [iSilo uCetshwayo] . Lona-ke ngesikhathi sekubusa iSilo sasoNdini laliphethwe nguMntwana wakwaMfemfe uHhamu[iNxandela]. Emveni kokuba sekuhambe uMfusi ekubeni indunankulu yeSigodlo saseMlambongwenya, kwaqhubeka yena uMsushwana : Kuleso sigodlo kwakuhlala undlunkulu uSongiya kaNgotsha wakwaHlabisa ozala iSilo uMpande. Ngenkathi yempi yaseNdodakusuka eyayiphakathi kwabantwana beSilo uMpande ,uMsushwana yena wayengasohlangothini loMntwana uCetshwayo ,emeseke njalo . Ngisho sekubusa sona iSilo sasoNdini wayelokhu ethembekile, akazange asihlamuke.

Kuthe emveni kokuthi inkosi yakwaMandlakazi [uZibhebhu kaMaphitha] ibhubhise izikhulu zakwaZulu esigodlweni oNdini lapho kwagwazeka khona iSilo sasOndini ethangeni saze sayofihlwa ngabakwaShezi –sedlulela eShowe. Kwathi iSilo sezibize izikhulu zaso ezasinda lapho sihlaselwa, naye wayekhona uMsushwana kaMfusi :

ISilo samdonsa nendlebe uMsushwana sathi lapho uDinuzulu efa khona naye uMsushwana makafe lapho .Nembala uMsushwana wafa efela iNdlunkulu ngesikhathi sempi yakwaCeza .Yathi uma isiphelile wacela eSilweni sasoSuthu ukuyobheka izingane zakhe eZibayeni,kanti iMboza laseZibayeni[uMsushwana] kalibuzanga elangeni ngoba kwasekunomsheshelengwana ababehambisana noZibhebhu abamtshela ukuthi likhona iMboza laseZibayeni . Balivimbezela balibulala,belibulalela ukuthi leseka iSilo sasoSuthu. Bakhuza i ‘ji’ futhi abakwaMandlakazi base benesaga sabo ababezwana ngaso bethi ‘Washesha’.

Zafika izindaba eSilweni sasoSuthu zokubulawa kukaMsushwana,zifika neShundu lakwaThambo uNdunankulu uMankulumana nomfowabo kaMsushwana uMavukefile. Kuthiwa sakhala kakhulu iSilo sasoSuthu sathi,’awu sebembulele ubaba’.Phela sasimthanda njengoyise. Lafa iqhawe lifela iNdlunkulu yakwaZulu.

Namanje abantu baseMadletsheni balokhu bethembekile njalo eNdlunkulu yakwaZulu njengoba nenyosi yeSilo esibusayo kunguBuzetsheni kaDlakudelwa kaQalenkomo.
