Mdluli surname

Mdluli surname

When the Dlamini people left Embo they moved downwards. Along the way they noticed that there was a tribe that was well organised and had a rich chiefly background. They also noticed that they had profound understanding of sacred medicines. It was not easy to incorporate this tribe let alone attack them because they also had strong sanctuaries. 

Spies were sent to go and spy on them and before they could even reach their fortress they met a man who looked strange in costume and posture. Some suggested that he should be killed whilst others suggested that they should spare his life. Eventually they agreed to spare his life, so they took him (bendlula naye ngendlela). They then decided to send him with his brothers to go find a place where they could stay.

He went to look for the place, but, together with his brothers, they did not report back. Another group was sent to go and look for the first group. They looked for them until they found them thus they became known as Bhekiswako because they looked for the first group until they found it.

The first group became known as Sikhandzisa because they were found by the second group. The two groups were spared of their lives all because the first man kwendlulwa naye ngendlela they then became known as baka Mdluli.
Here is the science. Mdluli was found along the way and instead of killing him the Dlamini spies could not because he was favoured. Now in the midst of adversity, there is favour that lingers on the life of a Mdluli person. There were lots of enemies that wanted to destroy this chiefdom. Out of God’s favour they survived until the Dlamini came and incorporated them. He was sent to go and spy good land that would settle the large tribe and with few regiments, they tracked dangerous forests and mountains.

They found the land and instead of rushing back to report they decided to stay a little longer until the second group was sent to go find them. The second group did not attack the first group to the delight of their new leader Dlamini.
There is determination and patience in the veins of a Mdluli person. It is determination that made them trail through the thick forests and even though their new master had thought that if stronger tribes dwelled in that place the Mdlulis would be first to be killed. 

They also have focus and patience. They trailed through dangerous mountains and arrived in a safe place. They have in them the power and strength to survive any hardship. It is very dangerous for a Mdluli person to be talkative.
They are principled, hard workers, organised and humble. See that in the life of Labotsibeni who in the midst of adversity came out victorious. Labotsibeni from childhood was determined to overcome obstacles.

Unity seems to be another virtue of these people as the second group did not attack the first even though they seemed to have failed to report back on time. Good organisation skills posed by a Mdluli person made the first group settle in a good place and they took their time to settle and prepare for the arrival of the whole big group.

A Mdluli person always avoids short cuts in life. They do not rush things. A true Mdluli girl will strive to make her marriage work. Giving up is not in their DNA. She would strive to make her husband realise that in losing a Mdluli woman, he would have lost a diamond for a stone maybe. A Mdluli man does not lay a hand on a woman.

He strives to provide for his family and be a good father to his children. A Mdluli person is particular with details. For example it was discovered that where the first group stayed were strong hideouts, trees that could be used for sacred medicine. They stayed long there because they were still accessing the place.

Today, Swaziland enjoys cultural festivities such as Incwala which cannot be danced without the presence of the Mdluli people. Mdluli, Matsebula, Mkhatjwa, Mkhonta and Motsa are among the surnames that are respected for the sacred tasks that they do.

Do we still have a pure breed of Mdluli people who shall carefully consider this science that form a true Mdluli breed? Do you know that the combination of a Mdluli man with a girl from either Mabuza, Dlamini, Mhlanga, Ndlela, Motsa, Matsebula, Shabalala, Sihlongonyane leads to the birth of a true Mdluli breed?

BakaMDZINISO

BAKAMDZINISO

BoMdziniso, boLukhambule lwekunene(labanye batsi lolukhulu) lolumacata amhlophe, bahlobene nebakaTfwala.

BakaMdziniso labadzala bakhona batsi badzabuka kubakaShiba. BakaShiba nebakaMkhwanati endvulo bebaphatsa timbokodvo tenkhosi, basila sijindane(ligwayi lemakhala), baphindze bente nemutsi bewubitwa ngemdziniso lowawusetjentiswa emphini nasekutingeleni. Ngwane wesitsatfu ngesikhatsi akhe eTjeni laNgwane(Tshejuba ngaseLuphongolo), bebakhe naye bakaShiba. Nangesikhatsi asasuka ayekwakha kaZombodze bahamba naye.

Lokucakako kepha kwekutsi bakaMdziniso nome batsi badzabuka kubakaShiba, kepha batsi abatsatsani nebakaTfwala, boLukhambule. Ngabe loko kusho kwekutsi boTfwala, Motsa, naboMkhwanati, Shiba bahlobene?

Ingwenyama Somhlolo uma asaya eMdzimba wahamba nabo bakaMdziniso, wababeka KaGwabe naKaNdinda. Mdlankunzi Mdziniso abengulomunye wetindvuna taSomhlolo. Mdlankunzi utala Nyamayenja labeyindvuna yelibutfo lenkhosi Mswati iMigadlela. Sekutsi kamuva sekubusa inkhosi Mswati sekutfunyelwa umntfwanenkhosi Lukhwabitsa waMswati kutsi ayobusa KaGwabe naKaNdinda. BakaMdziniso base bakhala ngekutsi Lukhwabitsa uyabahlupha.

Kutsite emva kwekukhotsama kwenkhosi Mswati, kwabekwa umntfwanenkhosi Macaleni, lowetsiwa libito laLudvonga wesibili. Nako-ke naye Ludvonga asasheshe akhotsama, lokwenta kutsi kusuke umbango emkhatsini kwebantfwabenkhosi Mswati. Lomunye walabo bekunguMbilini waMswati, labekanguMgadlela ngekubutseka. Ngekubekwa kwemntfwanenkhosi Mbandzeni, lowanikwa laDlamini wesine, Mbilini asuke abalekele emaBhunwini eMashishini(Lydenburd) eNtalasifali. Utsite nakasuka lapho Mbilini wayekwakha enhla neNcikinyane(ngase-Lothair).

Sewuyasuka umema bakaMdziniso Mbilini kwekutsi batewuhlala naye ngase-Lothair ngobe afuna lolwati lwabo lwemdziniso. Basuka labanye bakaMdziniso kaGwabe nakaNdinda bayawuhlala naMbilini. Sewuphindze uyasuka futsi Mbilini uyekwakha endzaweni lesibitwa ngeTafelberg lamuhla, lapho iNtombe itsela khona eLuphongolo, bahamba naye bakaMdziniso.

Nyamayenja Mdziniso labekayindvuna yeMigadlela, njengobe sesibonile, utele Mtfwalo kuDvumako wakaManana, uLaMcusi, dzadze waboMashila, labekasikhulu sebakaManana eMkhondvo. Mtfwalo wakhulela emtini waseMbekelweni kanye nemntfwanenkhosi Bhunu, bakhuliswa yinkhosikati Nabotsibeni. Mtfwalo walunywa yinja, waba nesilondza lesala kuphola. Sekutsiwa akatsatfwe asiwe ekhabonina kubakaManana. Lapho Mtfwalo, asaphilile, wesuka waya eVogrosi(Volkrust) eNtalasifali lapho atfola khona umsebenti, angena sikolwa ebusuku. Ngemnyaka wa-1897 waphehlelelwa esontfweni lemaLuthela, wanikwa libito la-Johannes. Nga- 1902 wabuya KaNgwane asangumvangeli, wacala kushumayeka kuGege. Sekutsi kamuva nga-1918 iNdlovukazi Nabotsibeni seyiyambita Mtfwalo kutsi atosebentela eMbekelweni.

BakaMdziniso njengobe bahlobene nebakaTfwala, njengobe bakaTfwala batila bubendze, lubendze nensangu, singete sati nome nabo batila kona loko na?

Bese uyambuta uninatala kwekutsi utfunywe ngubani, aphendvule yena ngekusho libito leyise kutsi utfunywe nguNtabezikude. Bese utsi uninatala kulungile mntfwanami

Lo yindlovukazi uNabotsibeni, Gwamile, uLaMatsanjana wakaMdluli

Lo yindlovukazi uNabotsibeni, Gwamile, uLaMatsanjana wakaMdluli. 

UNabotsibeni utalwa nguMatsanjana. Kwatsiwa nguNabotsibeni ngoba watalwa mhla uyise ahambe nemphi yaMswati kuyohlasela inkhosi yebeSutfu kutsiwa nguTsibeni libito layo. Kubuye kutsiwe nguLabotsibeni. 
Kwatsi nakufa uyise, Nabotsibeni watsatfwa ngumnakaboyise Matsanjana Mdluli labeyindvuna eLudzidzini wayawuhlala naye. Ngulapho ahlangana khona naMbandzeni, angakabi yiNkhosi Mbandzeni asesengumntfwanenkhosi waseGunundvwini.

Watfola bantfwana labane; nguBhunu, nguLomvazi,nguMalunge bese kuba nguTongotongo.

Nakukhotsama Mbandzeni waba yiNdlovukazi ngaBhunu labesayinkhosi. Kwatsi nakukhotsama Bhunu ngemnyaka we-1899 walibusa lakaNgwane abambele Nkhotfotjeni labesaseluwane lolubovu. Kwadzimate kwaba ngu-1921 lapho abekwa khona wanikwa libito laSobhuza wesibili.

Nabotsibeni wasukumisa sikhwama sekutsenga umhlaba khona emaSwati atewulima, wasukumisa sikolwa sakaZombodze, wacala lisontfo lemaSwati, waphindze watsenga umshini wekucindzetela ngobe aneliphupho lekusukumisa liphephandzaba lemaSwati.

Lokutsi kaNgwane kuze kutsiwe nguKagogo kwacala ngaye Nabotsibeni ngoba iminyaka beseyihambile, ucabange umuntfu lowendza kusaphila uLaZidze kutsi abesanganani-ke! Sekutsi nakukhulunywa ngelakaNgwane kutsiwa nguKagogo uNabotsibeni.

Wakhotsama ngewe-1925.

Nguye-ke uMlunguti wendlovu ivaliwe
Ivalwe ngemaphama etibhamu.
Mkalabhane ongadinwa ngamaveyisi
UMgwami longavutfwa nasetiko
Lowehlule timbita tebelungu nemaSwati
Mtimba longadzabuki yinhlamba yemaSwati.
INjuzalala kaMndindane kaLuvuno.
Nguye Nhlitiyo lebovu njengeyemamba.
Unyatsele iMbabane
Yase iyadvungana.
Lubhalule emant' abovu.
Ndzindzindzi 
Unjengelitulu lemaNhlengu,
Lona litsi lidvuma
Libe lindzindzitela.
Mahlasela ngelilanga, 
Emakhosi ahlasela ngemphi.
Mashesh' ayinike,
Ngoba uyinike kaManzini edolobheni,
Talukati takhasa ngemadvolo.
Nkhosi!

INKHOMO YEMGANO

INKHOMO YEMGANO

Inkhomo yemgano yinkhomo lesuka nentfombi kubo, leyinikwa nguyise, uma iganiswa nome yendziswa nguye uyise. Ihamba nayo iya le emtini.

Lenkhomo ifike ingangeniswa yona noma umtsimba ungena, itawuze ingene ngakusasa umtsimba sewenyuka sewusuka emfuleni, ungene uyichuba ngembili udzine uyoyifaka esibayeni. Sekutakutsi emva kwekutsi ugidze umtsimba makoti sewutawungena esibayeni aphetse indvuku layinikwe nguyise afike ashaye ngayo lomgano. Lokushaya lomgano usuke akhombisa kwekutsi ula nje yena utfunywe nguyise, uyendziswa.

NgesiSwati umnumzane uyasuka nje nakaboba likhaya lapho khona intfombi yakakhe itawuphatseka kahle khona, asuke ayibite atsi mntfwanami ngicabanga kukwendzisa lapha kaSibanibani, nentfombi ivume ngobe ihlonipha uyise. Kanjalo nje sewuyaphuma umtsimba uya kulelo khaya. Ngalomgano-ke loyise ucelela umntfwanakhe inkhonto kulaba bekunene ngoba abakasomi nekusoma. Umnumzanne uma ngabe anemandla-ke umgano upheleketelwa ngulenye inkhomo lebitwa ngemshoba (lishoba lemgano) nome bukhati.

Intfo beyenta banumzane baganise kakhulu ngulokutsi ngesiSwati umfati wekwendziswa nguye lofika adle umuti, lokusho kutsi indlalifa itawutalwa nguye. Uma afike wakhandza kunabozakabo labatiganela bona, ufika abe ngetulu kwabo lowekwendziswa nguyise noma afike muva. Yena uba ngaphansi kuphela kwemfati lonesibongo sagogo walapha ekhaya lotala umnumzane.

Naye gogo walakhaya ungephasi kepha kwalotalwa yindvuna, naye longephasi kwalotalwa sikhulu kumbe ngumntfwanenkhosi, naye longephasi kwalotalwa yinkhosi. Kepha nje uma kulikhaya lemfokatana nje loyo lowendziswe nguyise ufike awudle umuti. Banumzane labanyenti-ke bese bayabendzisa bantfwababo ngekubona loko.

IMPHI YASEMHULUHULU

IMPHI YASEMHULUHULU

Tive lensundvu betitsi lapho tifelwe yinkhosi yato noma ngulomkhulu bese tiphuma imphi tiohlasela letinye tivana. Imvama bekuhlaselwa leto letedzelelekile, tigwazwe, temukwe netinkhomo tato.

Ekufeni kwenkhosi Mswati II, kwacaca kwekutsi imphi ngabe iyaphuma. Ibhekephi? Inkundzi naseyibhonsa bafana bayibongela, ayitidvumeli tinkhabi, kopha idvumela lenye inkundzi. Inkundzi-ke leyayibongelelana naNgwane beyiyaseLubhalule, liPedi.

INdlovukati yaseLudzidzini, uLaZidze(Tsandzile), yawuphikisa lomcondvo wekukhipha imphi ngesikhatsi lesimnyama, sive sifake ingubo emlonyeni, kufe iNkhosi yelive. INdlovukati yona yasekwa nguSandlane Zwane, labeyindvuna yaseLudzidzini futsi angundvunankhulu wesive. Labaveta umbono wekutsi ayihlome yindvuna yakaHhohho, Matsafeni Mdluli, labe atiwa ngekutsi yindvuna yelilawu lenkhosi. INdlovukati yabuye yatsi etu kwekutsi sive sisebumnyameni, kute lotawuvunulela imphi loku phela uMntfwana Ludvonga abesasemncane.

Cha, abate bavumelana kuloko boSandlane naMatsafeni. Matsafeni atsi ayihlome, Sandlane atsi cha ayisuhloma. Matsafeni abecugcutelwa baNtfwabenkhosi, banakaboMswati, boMsukusuku waseSigombeni, naKhoza waseLukhetseni, naSondabane waseLuphuyeni nalabanye bantfwabenkhosi. Bameseka nje bayabona kwekutsi njengoba inkhosi isasephas' eluseko nje tinkhomo letiyawudliwa kuyawuba ngetabo. Nemadvodza lamanyenti ebandla abesime ngakuye Matsafeni. Watsi Matsafeni bantfwabenkhosi labo ngabo bayawuvunulela imphi esikhundleni seMntfwana Ludvonga losemncane.

Kwabonakala-ke kwekutsi boSandlane naLaZidze linyenti liyabehlula, phela kaNgwane livi lemadvodza liyahlonishwa ngoba neNkhosi imbala emadvodza lamadzala ebandla ayayisola nayingasahambisi ngendlela tintfo, ilalele nangabe ifuna umbuso wayo utinte nayo.

Nemambala-ke yaphuma imphi, kepha iNdlovukati yatsi impela lemphi ayiyuwuhamba nemadloti, kuyawuba khona litfunti lelimnyama embili, ingabi khona imphumelelo, kepha hamba juba bayokuhlutsa embili. Yaphuma-ke ibheke eLubhalule kulebeSutfu enyakatfo. BeSutfu bebatihlalele bangacabangi nakancane kwekutsi hleze kube khona kati lobanyonyobelako.

Itsite imphi naseyisedvute, kwakhishwa tinhloli nebancutsi kuyohlola live netindlela tekuhlasela, nekuyoncutsa emtini waSikhukhune. Leto tinhloli nebancutsi babuya babika kwekutsi luhambo lwabo lube lubi, lukhomba kwekutsi luhambo lwemphi lubi. Tatsi tonkhe tindlela letiyimfihlo tivelile. Tisho noba kwatsi lapho bancutsi batsi bangena emtini waSikhukhune ebusuku takhalima tinja. Kwaphuma emadvodza etindlini amemeta. Base bayabaleka bangasawentanga umsebenti.

Ngakusasa leto tinhloli tanyonyoba ngetihlahla tenyusa tihosha titsi tilinga kona kuhlolisisa live. Titsite tisanyonyoba njalo nako setelamela tidzandzane tebaPedi titfota tinkhuni. Letidzandzane tababona labantfu letingabati kantsi futsi nekuvunula kwabo kwehlukile, nelulwimi bakhuluma lulwimi letingalwati. Tatsi galo yephuka setiya ekhaya. Tabona tinhloli kwekutsi ngumnyama wempundzi, indlela imnyama khwishi. Tabuyela emphini kuyobika.

Titsite lapho letidzandzane tifika tibika ekhaya, babona baPedi kwekutsi kungenteka kukhona imphi yemaSwati letako. Bahloma masinyane, base bakhipha tabo tinhloli nabo kutsi tiyohlola kutsi nembala kunjalo na. Nembala tayibona. Tatsi tinahlaba umkhosi wayikhipha Sikhukhune. Yaye yayobhaca etintsabeni eMhuluhulu. Phela live letintsaba leli. Yaye yabhaca endzaweni leyingcingwana lapho imphi yemaSwati itawengca khona.

Utsite Matsafeni angeva umbiko wetinhloli, wabona kutsi lamuhla kulamuhla, timbi. Phela yingwazi lendzala Matsafeni, kadze atilwa timphi. Kwaba khashane embili, kwaba khashane emuva. Kungasekho nekubuyela emuva. Walikhumbula livi leNdlovukati. Noko masita abengasekho noba emajaha nawa, abengeke abuyele emuva angakayiboni intfombi latekuyisoma, Sikhikhune phela.

Wayikhomba embili Matsafeni, yaye yangena ekhatsi kwetintsaba, lapho indzawo iyimbi khona. Emabutfo asahamba alandzelana, abekelele. Kunjena nje impi yebaPedi igcwele tonkhe tintsaba, bakaNgwane baboni bona kepha yona iyababuka.

Utsite lapho umSutfu asabona kutsi seyisesakeni, wayinika! Wayinika yadvumela nhlangotsi tombili, ngembili nangemuva. Waba sembiteni Ngwane bampheka ngakokane beSutfu. Kwakhala umkhonto, kwadvuma sibhamu. Ngala basetulu labanye bajikijela ngematje, buhuluhulu. Ize leyo ntsaba kutsi nuMhuluhulu nje.

Yagcuzuka yakaNgwane yabaleka, yashiya emajaha alele phasi kubusacalala. Yatsi nayigcuzuka ibaleka, naba beSutfu bangatibeki phansi bayiijimisa. Sebahamba bayatigwazela nje labo lasebehluleka kubaleka lasebabanjwe nangemaphika. Aphela emajaha akaNgwane agcwala tintsaba netiganga. Nebantfwabenkhosi bona laba bebatsi ayihlome banyenti labaphelela khona lapho. BoKhoza naboSondabane naboMsukusuku nalabanye. Msukusuku yena kutsiwa wabaleka wabaleka, kwabonakala kutsi emandla asayaphela. Kwachamuka Mafa waMngayi Fakudze wamkhandza inceku yakhe solo imelekelela kubaleka asabanjwe naliphika. Khona lapho kwawa ingwe yakhe, batsi bayamvunulisa yawa futsi. Naba beSutfu betile ngaleso sikhatsi. Kwabonakala kutsi imamba lemnyama ayinakuphutfunyelwa. Bamembesa ngesihlangu sakhe batsatsela ngematubane. Yafika yamgwaza yebeSutfu.

Matsafeni naye wanyamalala kulowo mnyama kwatsiwa ufile, ngisho bafati bakhe betfwala tintsambo baze batetfula bakhohlwa nje. Sekutsi kamuva chamu Matsafeni! Uyaphila. Wafa asatifela kamuva. Kepha manyenti emakhaya lokwetfwalwa intsambo kuwo kaNgwane ngemphi leyayikhishwe nguMatsafeni nebantfwabenkhosi Sobhuza, baphikisa livi leNdlovukati Tsandzile.

Nati tinanatelo takaMdluli tilandvwa ngetindlela letehlukene. Lokubanga kutsi kube netindlela letehlukene kutsi labatitekako abatiteki ngendlela lefanako tinanatelo. Loku kubangelwa kutsi umlandvo wetfu bewungabhalwa phansi manje labanye bateka ngendlela lebeva ngayo kepha tonkhe tisasho bona labekunene:

Umlandvo & Tinanatelo tabakaMdluli Bhekiswako

Umlandvo & Tinanatelo tabakaMdluli Bhekiswako

Umlandvo webakaMdluli

Sibongo sakaMdluli sisuselwa egameni lemholi waso levele Iitichaza ngekwalo
kutsi abengulondlulako.

BakaMdluli ngekulandza kwaGinindza, (1992) bahlukene kabili, kunebaka Mdluli Sikhandzisa lakuphuma khona insila yenkhosi Kanye naMdluli Bhekiswako lapho kutalwa khona iNdlovukati Labotsibeni. Kubaluleka kwalesibongo emlandvweni wemaSwati awudzing; kuchazwa, ingan; bangemataJa nkhosi.

Indlovukati Labotsibeni indzima layidlala emlandvweni wekutfutfukisa sive semaSwati imenta eme yedvwa cekelele. Ingani ngiyo iNdlovukati leyakhulisa INkhweletjeni yaNgwane yaMahlokohla. BakaMdluli bakhontakubakaDlamini ngesikhatsi basuka kaTembe. BakaMdluli batinta endzaweni lekutsiwa kukaMbikiza banebukhosi babo lobunemandla sibili. Inkhosi Dlamini Wesitsatfu wayitsandza futsi wayifisa indlela lenekuthula lesiphetse futsi nalesenta ngayo tintfo taso wabacela kutsi bakhonte kuye.

Wabanika umsebenti wekutsi kube ngibo labasita endlunkhulu. Kuhlukana ngemacembu kwesive sakaMdluli kwenteka ngesikhatsi iNkhosi Dlamini Wesitsatfu akhetsa Iicecebane lesive sakaMdluli kutsi bahambe embili babetinhloli kute babone kutsi live lime njani. Bafike batfola live linotsile futsi lilihle bangabe basabuya kutewubika kuDlamini bavele batinta lapho. Emva kwekulindza sikhatsi lesidze, iNkhosi yabese itfumela lelicembu lakaMdluli lelisele kutsi liyewubuka laba labahambe kucala.

Nembala babakhandza laba Jabahambe kucaJa kepha babakhandza sebatihlalele kahle batintile, bakhomba ngalosekhatsi base batsi inikhandzile!. Base bayobabika enkhosini. Lelicembu lekucala labitwa ngekutsi bakaMdluli Sikhandzisa, ingani phela naku babakhandza, kwatsi leli lebelibheka laba labanye kwatsiwa boMdluli Bhekiswako ngobe phela kungibo labakhombe inkhosi lapha kunalaba labanye khona. nakutsiwa kubakaMdluli: 'Wena lowabhekisa inkhosi elusaseni' kusukwe kucondvwe etigamekweni letimbili etikhatsini temlandvo lowehlukene. Kwekucala kulapho bakaMdluli bakhomba inkhosi lapha kuhlalwa khona eveni lelisha kantsi kwesibili, kushiwo Iigalelo lelabanjwa yiNdlovukati Labotsibeni ngesikhatsi asabambe bukhosi abambele Sifuba sinengceke sinemanti aseluswane kudzimate kufike lapho inkhosi ibekwa khona esihlalweni aneminyaka lengu-21. Lusasa phela ngulapho kuhlala khona inkhosi ngembi kwekutsi ibekwe esikhundleni.

Indlovukati Labotsibeni unconywa kakhulu ngekukhulisa futsi alungiselele iMbube Sobhuza Wesibili bukhosi. llkwetinanatelo tabakaMdluli kuyaye kutsiwe 'Wena wabhekisa iNkhosi elusaseni luvuno'. Loku kubangelwa kutsi ncantilini lomunye longukhokho walesibongo bekabulala titsa kamatima emphini. Leligama lelitsi Luvuno Iisuka egameni lelitsi 'kuvuna'. Kubulala kwakhe titsa emphini bekufananiswa nekuvuna emasimini kungako kutsiwa nje nguLuvuno. Inyama yembuti kutsiwa iyatila kubakaMdluli. Kutsiwa badla inkonkoni noma Iishongololo esikhundleni senyama sembuti. Ngekusho kwabo labakaMdluli kubulala imbuti akusiyo intfo lebuchawe kepha kubulala inkonkoni noma lishongololo lekusilwane sasesigangeni kukhombisa buchawe.

Kutsiwa emandla abo asesandleni sekudla lekusandla semphi lesisetjentiswa ekugwazeni kungako nje kutsiwa labakaBhekiswako bayinsila yenkhosi. Kutsiwa iNdlovukati Labotsibeni ngesikhatsi itsatsa lesikhundla sekuba yiNdlovukati, tinini tayo teta kutewuhlala nayo. Kwatsite ngukutsi babe banengi labaMdluli base bafunelwa indzawo yabo, umphakatsi lapho batewuhlala khona.

Lowo mphakatsi nobe indzawo iNdlovukati yawucamba ngekutsi kuseNgwazini, lekusho indzawo yemachawe nobe tingwazi. Umntfwanenkhosi lomele kutsatsa bukhosi ubitwa ngekutsi ungumlisa. BakaMdluli Bhekiswako-ke base batsatsa loku bakufaka etinanatelweni tabo ngobe phela iNdlovukati Labotsibeni ngiyo leyakhulisa yafundzisa yabuye yalungiselela Sobhuza Wesibili kutsatsa bukhosi. BakaMdluli Sikhandzisa nebakaMdluli Bhekiswako abatitsatsi ngekutsi batihlobo letikhashane kepha ngebukhulu bemaguma abo, liguma lelikhulu boSikhandzisa bese kutsi Iiguma lelincane boBhekiswako lababitwa ngekutsi emahambate enkhosi langamange atfole lutfo.

Kamera, (1999) usitekela kutsi ncantilini laba bakaMdluli bebaniketwe umsebenti wekuniketa inkhosi luhlobo Iwemutsi lotsite ngemicimbi wekuhlanta. Lomutsi bewugaywa ube yimphuphu bese inkhosi iyawusebentisa ekuciniseni sigodJo sayo. Cishe kunengi lokungashiwo ngalesibongo kepha lokhu ngiko lokubaluleke kakhulu lekwenta kutsi lesibongo singene emlandvweni wemaSwati.

Tinanatelo tabakaMdluli

Nati tinanatelo takaMdluli tilandvwa ngetindlela letehlukene. Lokubanga kutsi kube netindlela letehlukene kutsi labatitekako abatiteki ngendlela lefanako tinanatelo. Loku kubangelwa kutsi umlandvo wetfu bewungabhalwa phansi manje labanye bateka ngendlela lebeva ngayo kepha tonkhe tisasho bona labekunene:

BAKASHONGWE

BAKASHONGWE

BakaShongwe, boMtimandze, boBhambolunye tingaba timbili tafuta ekhabonyoko, badzabuka kanye nebakaKunene, Madvonsela, Hleta, Sikhondze naletinye tibongo letingena ngephasi kweluhlanga lwemaTimamdze.

Khokho wabo lomdzala losakhunjulwa nguMahlangobe, lotele Luziya. Luziya yena utele Mkhweli, lotele Mlambo, lotele Tikhuni, lotele Matsafeni.

Kutsiwa kadzeni bebakhe eNgwavuma lapho Luphongolo lungenela khona elwandle. Kuyacaca-ke kwekutsi behlukana nebakaMadvonsela labasuka bakhwela Lubombo batewukwakha eMbilaneni, lapho kwaphuma khona boSikhondze balibangisa dvute naseSinceni njalo njalo. Bona-ke boShongwe bahlala eNgwavuma, kutsiwa bebakhe nemaZingili, lesingatfoli kahle kutsi ngumaphi emaZingili ngoba nawo anetibongo letinyenti.

Lapho kutsiwa badzimate basuka ngekuhlaselwa yinkhosi yemaZulu, lokungenteka nguDingiswayo webakaMtsetfwa nome nguZidze webakaNdwandwe, ngobe sive semaZulu besingakabi nemandla ngaleso sikhatsi, emakhosi abenemandla ngabo boDingiswako naZidze. Lapho basuka babaleka baze bayewufika kuBulunga. Lapho Tikhuni afela khona. Nekungulapho Somhlolo abakhandza khona. Tikhuni ushone sekubusa inkhosi Mswati wesibili.

Tindlu taboShongwe ticale kwehlulana tibe tinyenti ngaso lesikhatsi, hhayi ngoba kucatjanwa nome kuliwa, cha. Tikhuni utele Matsafeni watala naNduma. Lamajaha lamabili aTikhuni aba tingwazi sibili. Matsafeni waniketwa liphakelo enhla ngesheya kweMgwenya nakwehlulwa beSutfu. Abelwa timphi naboLomahasha wakaMahlalela, naboMatsafeni Mdluli kucoshwa beSutfu. Matsafeni Mdluli naye wanikwa liphakelo khona enyakatfo lapho sekuboMbombela(Naspoti) khona lamuhla. Matsafeni Shongwe yena wakha imiti lemitsatfu, KaShongwe(umphakatsi), kaNdlangamandla, naseSidvungweni. Umphakatsi wakhiwa ngetinkhomo tatiphuma kuBulunga. Matsafeni washona emva nje kancane kwekukhotsama kwenkhosi Mswati ngesikhatsi kuhlasele sifo incubulunjwane (smallpox). Umuti wakaNdlangamandla kutsiwa kwavalwa ngelihlahla bashona bonkhe, umuti waseSidvungweni wona wabuyela kuBulunga.

Matsafeni utele Matsamo, lowaba sikhulu sakaShongwe emva kweyise. Matsamo walakha impela lakaShongwe ngobe abenemiti lelishumi nesitfupha (16). Unina kutsiwa abenguLaSomhlolo. naye abeyingwazi Matsamo, yenkhosi Mbandzeni. Imiti layakha kuKatifunele, eMashobeni, eKubalekeni, Kabojini, eNhlambeni, eMfelakhona, eNgcweleni, eChibini, eMfomfeni, eKusukeleni, KaboTililo, KaboSilwane, eTalukatini, KaMakhomba, neKhaboMbabane. Bafati kutsiwa abenenemashumi lamatsatfu (30). Wafela eChibini lapho angcwatjwa khona eSchoemansdal nga-1925. Matsamo utele Lugebhuta. Kepha kwaba lishwa Lugebhuta washona nga-1912 asaphila Matsamo, kepha asayibekile indvuku ebandla watala umfana, Magubha. Magubha nguye-ke lowalandzela mkhulu wakhe njengesikhulu. Matsamo kutsiwa wametsa libito laSidlamafa, lokungulona agcina sabitwa ngalo. Nalomuhla kunesikolwa lokutsiwa kuseSidlamafa nje. Sidlamafa-ke yena utele Tinhlonhla, lotele Sikhumbuzo.

Sibuyele emuva kuMatsafeni njengobe sishito kwekutsi utele naNduma. Nduma naye wanikwa liphakelo yinkhosi Mswati eMotjane. Nduma yena utele Mzululeki (Sihlelo) naMfukuka. Mzululeki utele Mbetsambalo lotele Magodze (Sipho) loshone nga-2011. Mfukuka waNduma yena utele Mdvwayiba. Mfukuka wentiwa sikhulu sasEkudzeni.

Kukhona naNdzangu lesingati kutsi utalwa ngubani-ke yena, kepha kutsiwa naye abeyingwazi yenkhosi Mswati, wanikwa liphakelo kuMagomba. Yena utele Gudlulwako.

INSIMI AYINAMMBILA

Ngesintfu insimi nensimi inemniyo. Ngumniyo longena ensimini yakhe ahlanyele ummbila wakhe. Uma wena ungene ensimini yemuntfu wahlanyela ngephandle kwemvume yakhe lommbila akusiwo wakho ngobe usensimini yemuntfu futsi awusiwo walensimi ngobe nayo yemuntfu. Konkhe lokuphuma kulensimi kwalomniyo wayo.

Kunjalo-ke nome lijaha lisuka lifohla sibaya semnumzane lemitsisa intfombi lingakayiteki. Litakusho njani-ke kwekutsi wall lomntfwana ngobe lifana nemuntfu lofohle insimi yemuntfu? Ngobe bekufanele nangabe lensimi liyayitsandza bekufanele licele kuyitsenga kumniyo nakavuma bese liyayitsenga-ke selihlanyela umatsandza.

Kungako uma umntfwana angumlanjwane konkhe kwakhe kwentiwa ekhabonina ngoba ungummbila wekhabonina ingci nje loyise angakakhiphi timfanelo tekufohla insimi yemuntfu.

Ungaboyingena lapho kucabene bantfwabemuntfu. Kusasa labantfu batawuhlala phansi bayikhulume bakhumelane umlotsa, wena utawusala usenkhingeni ngobe loya wawumvuna utabe asacolelene newakabo, kepha loya wawumlwisa uvuna lo utabe solo akwenyanya wena.

INDLU SIFU.
Ungabokhuluma ngemuntfu usendlini, ngoba kumbe ulangaphandle uyakuva. Nankho emalahle emhlane kuwe lapho! Uma ukhuluma ngemuntfu usendlini ungaboni ngephandle uyefana nje nemuntfu lotifaka esifini.

INGULA LENDZALA IVAMA KUNUKA.
Kulukhuni kabi kumuntfu kwekutsi ayekele imikhuba labesatayele kuyenta. Sicishe sifane nanasi lesitsi imfene ayilulahli lukhobo lwayo. Sisuselwa ekutsini ingula lesiyindzala noma ungayigeza utsini kepha leliphunga lemasi alipheli. Kunjalo-ke nekubeni nemikhuba loyetayele njengemuntfu.

TIMPHI TAKAMLAMBO

Timphi TakaMLAMBO

Timphi takaMlambo timphi letalwiwa yinkhosi Mswati wesibili, ilwa kanye nebakaNhlapho baMlambo waMavundla. Kutsiwa bakaMlambo nje, kususelwa kuMlambo waMavundla, kepha sibongo sabo boNhlapho.

bukhosi babo boNhlapho bebusedvute nemfula liGwa, kuletindzawo namuhla bo-Ermelo, Sheepmoor, nabo-Morgenzon kudzimate kuyofika ePiet Retief ngasemfuleni uMkhondvo, eMpumalanga. Umuti wakhe Mlambo kukuseLusizini eNtabande ngaseMlomo.

Sekusuka umbango-ke uma asafa Mlambo. Usuka emkhatsin' ebasa bakhe, boMhlangala, Bashele(Khulwane), Magodongo naMagobhoyi. Yena Mlambo abebeke Mhlangala njengendlalifa. Mhlangala sewutsi nasatsatsa bukhosi sewufuna kubulala labanakabo. Bashele yena wabaleka wabheka kaNgwane, Magobhoyi wabheka kaMshweshwe, Magodongo yena wasindvwa tinyawo, kanjalo wadliwa ngumkhonto.

Bashele ubalekela kaNgwane nje kusekhabonina, ngobe unina nguLaNdvungunye, ngudzadzewabo wemntfwanenkhosi Malunge eNyakeni. Uma afika kaNgwane sewuyatikhalela engwenyameni, kuMswati, kuLodvungandzaba weMbelebeleni. Usaphila unina, umshiye le kaMlambo. Ufika kuMswati utsi: " Awu Nkhosi, ngilana nje angati kutsi make usele njani lemuva, nekutsi ngitamkhandza asaphila yini. Loku bayamhlupha laba balenye indlu, leletsetse bukhosi."

Sebayatfukutsela-ke bakaNgwane, batfukutsela bagcwala kokane. Sewuyayikhipha-ke Mswati, ukhipha iNyatsi. Uyikhipha kantsi kusebusika. Phela lela lakaMlambo lisenkhangala, nakukusebusika nje lichwa lidla lubi, liyakhitsika nekukhitsika.

LekaMlambo kutsiwa batsi nabeva kutsi nayi ingene yakaNgwane, sekusuka logogo waBashele, lotala Mlambo, ente sihlati. Nenta lesihlati sewuphuma naletinye talukati bayaloya, baloya litulu. Lajika litulu lenta lichwa lelibi. Ifika leyakaNgwane seyifile ngemakhata. Seyigongobele, ayisakhoni nekulwa kahle. Kwaba kwehlulwa kwayo njalo bakaMlambo batigwazela nje.

Nayibuyela emuva imphi bafika bayabika kuMswati, kutsi: "Awu! Wena waphakatsi usehlulile. Sibulewe lichwa safika sesigongobele." Awu kwaba kubi sibili. Kepha yabindzisa nje ingwenyama. Baphela busika, kwetfwasa lihlobo laphelela, kwagidvwa iNcwala loyo mnyaka nayo yaphela. Kutsite ngalolandzelako umnyaka, ngeNdlovu lenkhulu sekuphele wonkhe umsebenti welive, sewuyayikhipha futsi Mababal' ahlome nengelilanga lelibi, uyayikhipha Mswati khawula bantfu ngemvimbi nangemvimbetelo! Ukhipha yona iNyatsi futsi.

Kutsiwa watsi natayikhipha kwelashwa inkunzi lendzala lesinembombo lomfincene wenta tivinco. Yelashelwa esibayeni eLudzidzini. Yatsi seyelashiwe yevakala seyibhonsa ikhonya. Kwatsiwa yikhululeni. Nembala bayikhulula. Yaphuma, ichutjwa yiNyatsi kudze kudze kaMlambo. Kuloku-ke phela kusehlobo, watsi uyaloya unina waMlambo kwafana nekusutela esitibeni. Yangena iNyatsi yaMswati yadla umhlanganiso yabachitsa bakaMlambo. Nakuya Mhlangala kudze kudze kulaMshwesh kanye nebakaNhlapho. Labanye basala bakhonta kuye Bashele.

UMUNTFU UTALA AZE AYEKUFA
---------------------------
Lesaga sisho kwekutsi noma ungakhulisa ucedze bantfwabakho bakhule babe badzala kepha bakhona labanye labasetawudzinga kukhuliswa njengebatukulu. Kulesinye sikhatsi kufa kuyafika kutsatse umtali bantfwana basale batingedzama sekutawufuneka umuntfu lotakubakhulisa. Ngako-ke nome sewucedzile kutala kepha ngoba solo uyakhulisa bese emaSwati atsi umuntfu utala aze ayekufa.

EMATINYO TINTSABA/LIGUMA
---------------------------
kutsiwa ematinyo tintsaba noma liguma ngoba afihle lukhulu, umuntfu uyasineka nawe wena utitjele kwekutsi uyakutsandza kantsi awuboni enhlitiyweni yakhe. Ungabombuka umuntfu akuhlekisa utsi wena uyakutsandza ngoba lamatinyo afihle lokukhulu.

LIGUNDVWANE LIPHILA NGEMAJOBO ESIHAMBI
---------------------------------------
Uma usekuhambeni ubogadza kwehlwelwa tintfo letimbi. Kuphindze kutsiwe lichwa litondza sihambi. Umuntfu utsi avakashile ekhaya avuke atitfwaphuta akhala ngemazeze lamlume busuku bonkhe kepha nine balakhaya angakanenti lutfo. Nakadzeni-ke bekunjalo sitsi sihambi siyavuka sikhandza lijobo laso selinembobo yemagundvwane kepha lelikhaya linemajobo lagaciwe noma emshayweni langazange sewadliwe ligundvwane. Kunjalo ke ekuhambeni. Kungako siSwati siphindze sitsi kuhamba kunyatsela emasimba ebantfwana ngoba ekhaya lelinebantfwana ikakhulu nabasafundziswa kutitfuma batitfuma ebaleni utsi uyafika wena sihambi sonyatsela lamangcoliso abo.

INKHONJANE YAKHELA NGELUDZAKA
---------------------------------
inkhonjane uma yakha sidleke sayo isakha ngeludzaka lelwenta tindilingana letincane isolo ibhaceka kudzimate kuphele. Uma isacala ungayitsatsa kancane utsi ngete saphela lesidleke kepha sigcine siphelile solo ibuyela iyekwenta loludzaka ibuye ibhaceke. Nasemphilweni kunjalo, tintfo ngete talunge masinyane kepha ngekubeketela nekungalahli litsemba utawugcina uphumelele. Baphindze labadzala batsi inja iyawacedza emanti ngelulwimi ngoba inja ayiwahubi manti njengaletinye tilwane kepha iyawaphakamisa ngalolulwimi lwayo. Uma uyibuka ungatsi lesitja ngete yasicedza noma ngete yakholwa kepha iyanatsa aze aphele lamanti.

INKHONTO IYANCENGWA
----------------------
lamagama akhulunywa kakhuku kubomakoti nabendzile ngoba ngesiSwati bayafana nebantfu labakhontile kulelo khaya, vele makoti nangena ekhaya ucala ngekucela inkhonto kumaketala wakhe. Nemuntfu nasemsebentini ufana nemuntfu lokhontile kuloyo mcashi wakhe. Uma-ke ukhontile ubotati kwekutsi sigaba sakho wena usikhonti kunetintfo longatenta kunetintfo lokungafuneki utente, utfobele umtsetfo walabo labangetulu kunawe kuze ube nenhlalakahle kuleyo ndzawo. Ungatfolakali sewenta ngatsi uphetse endzaweni lophetfwe kuyo.

KUNGAHLWA KWENILE

Ebusuku uma sekumnyama kukhulu lokwentekako lebengete kwenteka emini, tonkhe tigameko leshwacisa lugogo tentiwa ngalesikhatsi kumnyama. Kuyafana-ke nekutsi nalishona kuvele kumile umena lapho ukhandza khona tonkhe tinhlobotetilwane letiyingoti, lokusho kutsi ubocaphela ebumnyameni ngoba buyafana nemena longalunywa yinyoka ibaleke ingene khona.

INHLWA AYIBANJWA NGENHLOKO ISAVELA
-------------------------------------
Uma uve indzaba letsite kepha wangayiva kahle, ubobindza ushaye shangatsi awati idzimate ivele lendzaba iphelele kahle khona uteyikhuluma kahle noma sewutsatsa tinyatselo utitsatsele entfweni loyatiko ungahatsateli. Kufana nenhlwa ngoba ihlala emgodzini uma uyibamba uboyilindza iphume iphele ngukhani ke utayibamba ngoba wetama kuyibamba kusaphume lenhloko itawuvele isitsele ungabe usayitfola nekuyitfola.

BAKAMNCINA

BakaMNCINA

Ngendzabuko bakaMncina bakanye nebakaMkhwanati, Shiba kanye naboMalambe. Kuyaye kutsiwe beSutfu, lokungenteka kube liphutsa ngobe kadzeni lonkhe leli lakaNgwane kusuka eLusutfu kuya eNkomazi, kuya kuboNgwenya, boKupheleni, boMotjane naboMalolotja kubheka kuboNhlazatje, boTjakastad naboStingidolobha. Lonkhe lelo lalakhe tive letatikhuluma tilwimi letihlobene kakhulu nesiNdebele. EmaSwati-ke naleto tive abetibita ngebeSutfu.

Kutsiwa lesibongo sachamuka ngekutsi sive sakaMncina sasitsi nasivunula, bagabe lugogo lwenyamatane lamkhonweni kusuka engcoseni kuya esihlakaleni, lolugogo luvale wonkhe umkhono. Bakubita ngekuqina noma kuncina ngalolulwimi lwabo. Kwatsiwa boMncina, bantfu labancinako.

Bebakhelene naboMagagula baMnjoli bakaMncina, bakhe eDlangeni, eMdzimba, kuleli lakaGama lamuhla.Nome kungacaci kahle kutsi bebakhontile yini kumaTfombeni.Sekutsi mhla Somhlolo achitsa Mnjoli, inkhosi yebakaMagagula, nabo bakaMncina sebayachitseka emakhosi abo ayabaleka. Kutsiwa abheka kuMalutha.

Labanye kepha bakaMncina kababalekanga, babhaca eMdzimba, kulemitsandza legcwele khona. Sebayamenyetwa-ke nakuphela imphi, bayaphuma emitsandzeni bayakhontiswa kaNgwane. Sebakha umuti khona lapho eMdzimba, kwakha umnumzane lokutsiwa nguMabaleka, wakhona kaMncina, babukwa yindvuna yakhe Somhlolo, uSokhukhuza wakaHlophe. Nabo nje labatalwa nguye uSokhukhuza batikhulu kaLamgabhi. Abakhile alimile, afuyile, asebenta loMabaleka, asebenta kushuka tingogo. Nako uSokhukhuza anemkhuba wekutsi uma atenekile Mabaleka letingogo, asuke ayotiba yena.

Kamuva bakaNgwane sebahlushwa timphi takaZulu. Soyasuka uSokhukhuza utewubuta kuye Mabaleka kutsi kute yini lamatiko lonemutsi wemphi. Nguye lolatiko phela Mabaleka lonkhe lelive, nekuma kwalo. Mabaleka wamlayela bakaGama, latsi batiwa bakaMaseko kutsi bakhephi. Nako Sokhukhuza aya kumaNgcamane lamyalela laba bakaGama phasi kuMawelawela. Sewubuya nabo uSokhukhuza bakaGama beta enkhosini. Kutsiwa abayokwenta lentfo yabo phasi eLuphongolo ematubukweni lapho yakaZulu iwela khona nayita kaNgwane.

Akasekho uSomhlolo lapho, sewakhotsama. Watsi nakakhotsama wabekwa lapha eMdzimba emtsandzeni. Sekutsi nakuphela kuvuna likwindla, sewuyatsatfwa nakuya kudze kudze eMbilaneni lapho emakhosi akaNgwane abebekwa khona, abengakabekwa eMdzimba. Phela ngesiSwati sidvumbu sasingawuweli umfula ehlobo, kwakutila loko ngoba kutsiwa litawugcoba kuphele kudla emasimini. EMdzimba kucale ngaLudvonga wesibili kutsi emakhosi abekwe khona. Lapho abekwa khona uSomhlolo sekuba yindzawo lebalulekile. Sekuyababelwa nekubabelwa, umilo akufuneki ufike khona. Kubabela uSokhukhuza, ngumsebenti wakhe.

Sebalandziwe bakaGama le kuMawelawela, babekwa eMdzimba nabo bakhelana naMabaleka. Bakhile, sekuhlasela indlala lenkhulu, ivimbetela lonkhe live. Mabaleka ndzini loku ulimile nje unetilulu temabele, unetingungu letigcwele sancoti. Sebayasuka bakaGama bayokhala kuSokhukhuza, kutsi Hlophe safa yindlala. Utsi uSokhukhuza loku nami ngite lutfo, sitawutsini. Batsi boGama sitibonile tilulu taloMsutfu, tigcwele, unawo emabele. Soyasuka uSokhukhuza uhlomisa imphi yakakhe, lamajaha akaHlophe, nalaba bakaGama. Utsi ningagwazi muntfu ngoba akusiyo imphi lekhishwe yinkhosi le, uma kungachitseka ingati nawo emasondvo enyatsi enhloko kitsi. Iyaphuma-ke imphi ebusuku iyovimbetela kaMncina eMdzimba. Kutsiwe bafike nje babhule emahawu. Nembala nayifika kaMncina, iwukake umuti waMabaleka. Bhu bhu bhu emahawu! Nabavuka bakaMncina, hhawu yimphi! Nako babaleka babheka enyakatfo baze bawele iNkomazi. Nabewele iNkomazi iyabuya imphi. Sekutsiwa yakhani lapho boMncina.

Mabaleka utele Mfundza lotele Zikhotheni.

Ukhona lomunye wakaMncina, Ntantela lesingati kutsi abetalwa ngubani. Kutsiwa abeyiNyatsi ngekubutseka. Nemphini yaseMshadza, mhla kuhlaselwe Sekhukhune wahlabana. Yena-ke Ntantela wanikwa lela laseDwaleni kutsi alibuse.

Lelinye live laboMncina, uSomhlolo wakha umuti weMbelebeleni , wabeka khona inkhosikati uLaMncina, letele umntfwanenkhosi Mantintinti, lotele Mtfonga. EMaphalaleni khona kwakhiwa waseMaphalaleni, kaLaNdwandwe, uLaDzindzibele. Lonkhe lelo lalilakaMncina.

BakaMncina batila lunyawo lwenkhomo.
