Okokuqala okumele sikulungise wukuthi uQwabe akaze aphume kwaMnguni.Kukhona emlandweni oQwabe ababili, owokuqala kanye nowesibili. Ngokunjalo naboGumede babili. Ngicabanga-ke ukuthi we a ubuza ngoQwabe wesibili ozalwa nguMalandela kaLuzumane kaMnguni. Njengamanjena buhlukene ka-5 ukukhosi bakwaQwabe; abaseMthandeni, abase-Waterfall, abaseNkanini, uQwabe-P noQwabe-N(labs ababili batholakala ogwini lweKZN).

Amanye amaQwabe afudukela ogwini oluseningizima ngabakwaMakhanya. AbakwaMakhanya babehambisana namanye amaQwabe kuyiqembu elilodwa beta emcimbini omkhulu wesizwe. Uma sebrfike oThukela, lwangenisa abanye nasals ngaphesheya, bahlukana kanjaloke. Ekunqotshweni kukaPhakathwayo nguShaka, kwaba nombango esizweni phakathi kwendodana kaPhakathwayo kanyr naboyise abancane.

Ekugcineni uShaka wabeka uNqetho kaKhondlo, owabe engumnaka Phakathwayo kodwa ezalwa endlini encane. Lutheran ekukhathameni kukaShaka, uNqetho wanqaba ukukhonza kuDingane. Wafuduka njalo elibangise eMampondweni. UDingane wamlandela ngempi eyahlangana amahlandla amathathu, kuwona wonke uDingane ubeshaywa abhulelwe amahlahla.

Enye impi abatholane kuyo kwanzima, bekukwaNgcolosi ngakwaNyuswa. Nakalokhu kunendawo lapho okuthiwa kukwaNqetho eqanjwe ngalo igama laleqhawe. Umlando made mfethu, kodwa ngizoma lapho ngoba ngiyethemba ukuthi kukhona osukucoshile. Uhambo lukaNqetho nalo lwalunezigigaba eziningi esobuye sikhuluma ngazo.

UQwabe-N engiphuma kuye mina, bayinzalo kaMteli kaPhakathwayo. UMtheli uzale uNgcukuca hyena ozale uNdunge. UNdunge uzale Stephen noShiyane. UShiyane wazala uNhlanhleni(Fortunatus).

Tshonga history

History of Tshonga people

These people were so named mainly because of their geographical location and dialects. Though they spoke different dialects, the language and cultural practices were largely the same. Hence they constituted a single cultural and linguistic community. It is for this reason that when one reads Vutlharhi bya Vatsonga (a collection of Tsonga proverbs) by Junod, it is difficult to separate proverbs along the different dialects!!!!

For over centuries Tsonga have assimilated other cultural groups who came to live with them in the South East Africa region. The following clans are a case in point:

(a) Shona

(i)Tembe-Karanga (Kalanga)- were in Delagoa Bay region by 1554

(ii) Baloyi(Valoyi) –Rozvi (Lozwi) – they were already in the N’walungu region during the time of the Dutch occupation of the Delagoa Bay (1721-31). Some Hlengwe oral traditions claimed that the Hlengwe were actually the ones who converted the Valoyi from Rozvi (Lozwi) into Tsonga in Zimbabwe and Mozambique. This probably happened after the death of the powerful king of Rozvi, Changameri Dombo in 1696.

(b) Shiburi (Xivuri) were Sotho. They entered Mozambique as conquerors from the Mpumalanga lowveld in the 1700s as separate groups, but they organised themselves into a Shiburi (Xivuri) chiefdom.

(c) Manganyi were Nguni who lived in Kwa-Magoda in Kwa-Zulu Natal

(d) Mabunda and Maswanganyi were part of the Mazibuko (Nguni) clan in KwaZulu Natal.

(e) Gaza-Ngoni-Shangaan: several Nguni clans who left with Soshangane to Mozambique from 1821 abandoned their Nguni language and became Tsonga speaking

(f) Chopi- several Chopi people have joined the Maluleke clan.

(g) Ndau- several Ndau clans like Mashaba (Maxava or Machava), Sithole, Moyana, Miyambu, Simango are now part of the Tsonga.

(h) Nkuna- came from Ngome in KZN.

It must be understood that although the Tsonga assimilated foreign cultural elements, it does not follow that the people are merely a hybrid of the assimilated groups mentioned above. In fact, the Tsonga have for centuries been identified as a cultural and linguistic group sufficiently different from other neighbouring cultural groups like the Tonga of Inhambane, The Zulu (Nguni or Ngoni) and the Karanga and the Sotho in South East Africa.

Abakwa VILAKAZI | Abantu bakwa VILAKAZI | Umlando wabantu bakwaVilakazi

Abantu bakwaVilakazi badabuka kubantu bakwa Jili behlala ngaso lwandle beziphilisa ngokudayisa usawoti bethengisela zonke izizwe abebakgelene nazo. Lowo sawoti babewuphephetha ukuze kusuke ukungcola. Basithola kanjalo lesithakazelo esithi Mphephethe. Izinyawo zabo zazihlala zimhlophe ngoba babewugxoba ngezinyawo losawoti ukuze ucoliseke. Bathola izithopho ezethi Zinyawo ezimhlophe ngokunyathela izihlabathi zolwandle.

Lesibongo sakwaVILAKAZI basothola ngemibono emibili kwelakwaZulu nelakaNgwane.

Umbono wokuqala kwaZulu: komunye umuzi emndenini wakwaJili kwabe kuno mfazi owayephisa utshwala obuxakile ngenye indlela bububi kuyisitshodo. Ababephuza lobo tshwala babebabaza bebabazile ngenxa yobubi babo. Abantu bavumela ukuthi okudala lotshwala bube bubi ikithi lowo nkosikazi ubuvilakazi uyivila voco. Kwase kuqanjwa lowo muzi ngokuthi ikwaVILAKAZI ngoba kuphiswa utshwala obubi obubangelwa ukuvilapha kwalenkosikazi. Ngakho uzalo lonke lwakulowo muzi lwabizwa ngoVilakazi isibongo.

Ngesikhathi elakwaZulu libuswa uShaka isizwe sakwaVILAKAZI sabe sibuswa uVelaphansi owayebuye ebe usomahlaya kaShaka. Okwathi langa limbe uVelaphansi wenza ihlaya ngenkosi uShaka phambi kwesinduna zakhe. Lesosenzo samthukuthelisa okaMenzi wathumela amanutho ukuthi ayobahlasela abakwaVilakazi. Babaleka bagibela intaba eyayoseduzane nabo base baphosa atshe emabuthweni kaShaka. Kwaphinde kwamcasula lokho uShaka wathi bangamagwala, kwavela esinye isithakazelo esithi GWALA, kepha kukhona abasebenzisa leso sithakazela njengesibongo.

Umbono wesibili ngokuqambeka kwalesibongo eSwazini:

Ngesikhathi uShaka ebahlasela lesizwe sikaVelaphansi abanye babalekela eSwazini lapho yafike inkosi uSobhuza wokuqala wabamukela ngezandla ezimhophe. Wabasikela indawo eNgwedze ngasemfuleni Ingwavuma ukuthi bazilimele bezophila. Kuthiwa lababantu behluleka ukulima ngoba bona babejwayele ukuzodayisela usawoti kuphela hhayi ukulima. Kuthiwa bamangala abantu baseSwazini ukuthi kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi isizwe esimnyama singakwazi ukulima kwathiwa amavilakazi lawa. Phela babengalimi baseseNatali. Kuthiwa impilo yabo yabanzinyana ngempela lena eSwatini. Bakizwa ngo VILAKAZI bonke ke eSwazini abantu bakaVelaphansi wakwaJili.
