Relationship between Mpondo and Mpondomise
Mpondo and Mpondomise were twins. There’s an ongoing argument about which twin is the eldest, the most commonly held view is that Mpondomise is the senior twins.
It is said that while out hunting, Mpondo killed a Lion and refused to hand over the skin to Mpondomise as was the custom (the senior was entitled to skins of certain animals).
The tension between the two started from that day and Mpondo and his followers were the first ones to leave and settle elsewhere away from their father’s land.
Where do Mpondo people come from?
According to the Mpondo oral tradition, they are the legendary descendants of Mpondo, the grandson of Sibiside who was the leader of the once-powerful Mbo nation (AbaMbo or MaMbo).
Mpondo people are part of AbaMbo group who migrated from the Great Lakes into modern-day South Africa, having settled along the way in areas like Zambia and Swaziland.
It is through king Sibiside that Mpondo the forefather of the nation emerges together with other well known nations. Mpondo people share a common lineage with AmaMpondomise, AmaXesibe, AbakwaMkhize, AmaBomvu and AmaBomvana.
King of AmaMpondo
His Majesty King Ndamase is the sixth Kumkani/King of the Western Pondoland or AmaMpondo AseNyandeni following in the footsteps of those who came before him.
