Swati people (Swaziland now known as eSwatini)
Ngwane
Kanti yini ukuba yiNgwane? Ingabe sihlobene? Singumdeni? Nazi izibongo ziyanda abantu bathing bangamaNgwane, lokhu kusho ukuthi ngeke usashada?
Singaba AmaNgwane sonke kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi sihlobene sonke. AmaNgisi awahlobene wonke, abaSotho abahlobene bonke, amaPedi amaHlobene wonke ngakhoke AmaNgwane awahlobene wonke.
AmaNgwane ayisizwe hhayi umndeni noma iqembu lezihlobo. Uma ungaya eCameroon uzofica abantu abasebenzisa uNgwane njengesibongo sabo. Lokhu kusipha isithombe sokuthi uNgwane akaqalanga lapha emzansi ne Afrika kodwa thina sifike naye sisuka enhla me Afrika.
Umlando wamaNguni ngiyathemba sawufunda kancane esikoleni ochaza ngokufuduka kwabantu abamnyama be za ngapha emzansi. Ngwane akasuki ezweni elibizwa ngeSwaziland noma kaNgwane. Mswazi/Mswati igama leNkosi, ukhokho wakhe uNgwane ingakho kuthiwa ikaNgwane. Igama lesizwe engakabusi uMswati bekuthiwa ngamaNgwane kodwake kugcine kunezimpi kwasungulwa ubukhosi Even if you are right, lack of confidence in your responses gives your audience uncertainty; easily dismissible as false or inaccurate. #Learnt2day kwabakhona ubukhosi bukaMswati kwathiwa abantu ngabakaMswati bazibiza ngamaSwati.
Amanye amaNgwane akazange Abe ingxenye yokusungulwa kwesizwe samaSwazi baqhubeka bezibiza ngamaNgwane.
Izimpi ezidume ngokuthi uMfecane zadala ukuthi abantu balahlekelwe ubuzwe babo abanye abaningi ulwazi. Kwagcina abantu ubezwa bethi bangamaZulu kodwa ngokwemvelo bengawonye. Abaningi badidwa ukukhonza kwamaKhosi abo KwaZulu kwaphela kanjalo ngomlando.
Ukufika kwamabhunu akusizanga, walahleka kakhulu umlando namasiko. Ukubuya kwamandla kuhulumeni omnyama kwenza abantu bafune amasiko zabo ingakho silapha.
Ukhuluma ulimi olubizwa ngesiZulu kodwa awuyena uMzulu. Uma uphikisa noma udideka ngizohlaziya kancane.
The Zulu nation is named after the founding father Zulu son of Malandela.
Malandela spoke a particular language which was not named after his sons nation? So a language existed before it was named. When the English came, the interaction was more with people of Zulu therefore they could not describe what language those people spoke but rather say “the language of the Zulu” thus Zulu Language. The people Mswati thus Swati Language. The people of Basotho thus Sotho language, had the Ngwane been prominent it would have been “the Ngwane Language”
Ngizodlula…….
Engizama ukukuchaza ukuthi AmaNgwane ayisizwe, akubona bonke abantu abahlobene ngoba ngokwesintu ubuhlobo buhamba bunqamuke. Lining I ucwaningo kulesigaba oludingekayo ukuze kuphume incazelo eqondile kokuphela kobuhlobo.
Ake ngenze umzekelo. UHlongwane uyahamba ayocela ubuhlobo kwaMhlongo, kuchithwa igazi bahlobane. Ingabe lokhu kusho ukuthi angeke asashada omunye uHlongwane nelunga lomndeni wakwaMhlongo? Cha..ngoba lobo buhlobo kukhona lapho buphela khona.
Ukhokhokazi wami umaHadebe kodwa ngiyathatha kwaMthimkhulu.
AmaNgwane awahlobene ngoba ayisizwe, ukuhlukana kwezinye izibongo kuba nomthelela. Ezinye zibiza uNgwane zihlonipha ubuzwe nobukhosi hhayi ngoba zihlobe kuNgwane.
Kukhona abakwaDlamini abahlonipha ubukhosi bamaNgwane ngokuzithakazela kodwa bathathe kwaSangweni. Why? Ngoba amaNgwane yisizwe hhayi umndeni.
Siyaqaphelisa ukuthi nikhulume nabadala ukubheka ukuthi iziphi izibongo ongeke wathatha noma waqoma kuzo.
Ngiyema lapho

Where do Xhosa people come from?
The Xhosa people are divided into several tribes with related yet distinct heritages. The main tribes are the AmaGcaleka, AmaRharhabe, ImiDange, ImiDushane, and AmaNdlambe.
In addition, there are other tribes found near or amongst the Xhosa people such as AbaThembu, AmaBhaca, AbakoBhosha and AmaQwathi that are distinct and separate tribes which have adopted the Xhosa language and the Xhosa way of life.
The name “Xhosa” comes from that of a legendary leader and King called uXhosa. There is also a fringe theory that, in fact the King’s name which has since been lost amongst the people was not Xhosa, but that “xhosa” was a name given to him by the San and which means “fierce” or “angry” in Khoisan languages. The Xhosa people refer to themselves as the AmaXhosa, and to their language as isiXhosa.
Presently approximately 8 million Xhosa are distributed across the country, and the Xhosa language is South Africa’s second-most-populous home language, after the Zulu language, to which Xhosa is closely related.
The pre-1994 apartheid system of Bantustans denied Xhosas South African citizenship, but enabled them to have self-governing “homelands” namely; Transkei and Ciskei, now both a part of the Eastern Cape Province where most Xhosa remain. Many Xhosa live in Cape Town (eKapa in Xhosa), East London (eMonti), and Port Elizabeth (eBhayi).
As of 2003 the majority of Xhosa speakers, approximately 5.3 million, lived in the Eastern Cape, followed by the Western Cape (approximately 1 million), Gauteng (671,045), the Free State (246,192), KwaZulu-Natal (219,826), North West (214,461), Mpumalanga (46,553), the Northern Cape (51,228), and Limpopo
Amampondo ngabantu abatya ukutya kwemveli.
Nangona sele zikho nje izidlo zasemlungwini nekuzezona zithathelw aphezulu zezinye iintlanga ezizalana nawo, kodwa wona akashenxi ekutyeni kwawo kwemihla-ngemihla.
Ubukhulu becala amaMpondo atya imifuno kunye nombona osiliweyo ngaxeshanye. Umgubo awutyiw angamandle kwemifuno. Nantsi imizekelo yokona kutya kuxhaphakileyo emaMpondweni:
iSiDudu
KwaXhosa isidudu saziwa njengepapa ethambileyo, edliwa kwakusasa, phambi kokuba kutyiwe ezinye izidlo. ukanti emaMpondweni, isidudu yipapa ebuqina edityaniswe nethanga.
Le ke kuthiwa emaXhoseni ngumqa. Kukutya kwemihla ngemihla ke oku emaMpondweni. Xa siphekwa ke esi sidudu kunqunqwa amathanda abemaninzi kuqala aphekwe. aze athi akungathi ayavuthwa kugalelwe umgubo onganeno kakhulu kunamathanga laa aphekiweyo.
Umgubo othandwa kakhulu ke ngulo ugutywa ngesandla. Yhiyo le nto ugalelwa kula mathanga engekavuthwa ngokwaneleyo, kaloku kufuneka nwo uthambe, kuthiwe ke ngoku, sibhadlile isidudu. ziyakubondwa ke zombini zide ziyondelelane. zikuloo mlilo, zitsale okwexeshana de nomgubo lo uthambele ukutyiwa. kunempilo kakhulu ke okokutya kunjalo nje kunentswane.
IsiGwampa
Endaweni yethanga kuphekwa imifino ubukhulu becala. Ewe amabhola (amathanga asematsha) ayaphekwa nawo njenganqunqelayo.
Iyakuthi isaqala nje ukubila le mifino, kugalelwe umgubo kuyo kuze kubondwe de kuyondelelane.
