ABANTU bakwaMbambo ba-phuma kwabakwaMthethwa, okusho ukuthi bangama-
Lala-Nguni ngokwesigaba sabeNguni. Baziwa
ngoMbambo owabe eyindodana kaJangaza
kaJobe kaKhayi wakwaMthethwa. Le ndodana
kaJangaza yayizacile, inezimbambo ezihleli
obala, yingakho yagcina isibizwa ngoMbambo.
Kuthiwa uMbambo lona wayengaganiwe futhi
engakufuni sidalo. Wayezikholisa ngabafazi
babafowabo ngesikhathi besempini. Kwathi
angabanjwa ukuthi ugila lo mkhuba, wabizelwa ecaleni kodwa akayanga lapho.
Wavele wazigibelela injomane yakhe. Ngaleso senzosakhe wabe esebizwa ngokuthi nguNjomia okwagcina sekungesinye sezithakazelo zakwaMbambo.

elabe lakhe eduzane kwabo, wagcina ezale
ingane yomfana igama layo okwabe
kunguNkobezemfe. Naye uNkobezemfe wazala
inkosana yakhe uLusongo okwagcina exabana
nomndeni ngoba umsola ngokuthakatha.
Wabaleka wayokwakha eThekwini. Nethuna

Kunabanye abakwaMbambo abalaphaya

Bakanye nabo laba abaphuma kwaMbambo
ngoba kuthe sebehambe kakhulu, base begoba

Bakhona abanye abahamba bayokwakha
