Royalty from Qwabe last name
Founder of the Qwabe Kingdom and eldest son of Malandela (the common ancestor of the Qwabe, Makhanya, and Zulu clans) and his wife Nozidiya of the Zungu clan. His name means “a large musical bow.” Following his father’s death, Qwabe became king and built a new homestead called eMthandeni beneath the Ngoye hills, which served as the center of his kingdom. He left his younger brother Zulu to rule over a few people who remained at their father’s estate [citation:3].
The amaQwabe are the senior and larger clan of the Makhanya and the Zulu clans, all descending from Malandela. The kingdom thrived in the 18th century as “one of the most ancient and famous tribes in Natal and Zululand.” At its peak, the amaQwabe occupied central KwaZulu-Natal, from beneath the Amandawe and Ngoye Hills, south of the Mhlathuze River, up to the Nkandla forest, and between the Mhlathuze and Tugela Rivers [citation:3].
Powerful king of the Qwabe who ruled before the Shaka era. Under his leadership, the Qwabe kingdom had already expanded control over parts of Natal south of the Thukela River. His kingdom was characterized by seven large villages, each headed by an important member from the ruling lineage. He had the authority to form women regiments (isigodlo), a privilege only given to senior powerful kings such as Dingiswayo of the Mthethwa and Zwide of the Ndwandwe [citation:3].
Current head of the Qwabe Royal House, representing the continuation of the senior branch of the House of Malandela. The Qwabe royal lineage remains an important traditional institution in KwaZulu-Natal [citation:3].

Qwabe is the only surname with 5+ Kingship. That’s should tell you that this may well be the origin of the species —or indabukho yobukhosi lapha kwelikaMthaniyi.
Qwabe -P kahle Kahle baziwa ngokuthi oGumede alongside Makhanya. I was still a boy when my grandmother -P used to relate their lineage. The seating King would be King Nkino son of King Bhekizitha son of King ….. I can’t remember correctly if it’s Cyprian son of …
Laws amaKhosi oselwa. Umkhulu -P nabafowabo babehlukene ngezindlu, kodwa they are the original founders
of Umbumbulu. Some went to Johannesburg mining industry and never really returned back. He was the only one who NEVER ever wanted to leave the land in search of a better life. They used to joke that whenever a time to joyina utebha… He would change his mind in a last minute. And so I believe He ‘saw right through it.’
Those who went to JHB I am still curious if it was worth it. Did they made it?? Where’s the treasury?? Perhaps SOWETO can come in and relate to us how did they fare.
To get back to the point I wanted to make; amaKhosi oselwa date back to Egyptian Pharoahs. I know each one of them although I can really point out — which one was our direct lineage.
Did Malandela took the Nguni cows and went down Isilulu the Nile ?
