This is really great especially for those shallow-minded who preach tribalism about Shona this, Ndebele that....this is one gentleman without cheap bias.
All of you who are proud of this old man I ask myself. How right is he about abakaKhumalo. Please go and look at Mzilikazis photo in old age and compare it to Kelly
2017 remains to be one of my best years as Organizing secretary of this non political traditional society... we invited Highlanders legends like Madinda Ndlovu Alexander Maseko, Lawrence Phiri, Berry Daka, Peter Nkomo, we also Honored IYASA group as well. ISIZWE ESINGELA MASIKO SIFILE.... our culture defines who we are.
Please mr nyathi can we.have.the English sub title of these important ndebele. History it is enlightening we are tired of history from the European view
Who was MaNdiweni to give birth to King Mzilikazi when there was MaNxumalo??? There is No mention of a Ndiweni in the Zulu history. How is it the Ndiweni are now mentioned Mnumzane Nyathi is rewriting history?. When King Mzilikazi passed why did a search party not go to Ntabazinduna but went to the Nxumalos to search for Nkulumane???
Beautiful! He knows his story, his history and heritage. I thought the Bulawayo name was taken from the Zulu Kingdom as Mzilikazi, we Zulu people, know him to have been one on King Shaka's palamentarians. And the Kingdom was situated in Bulawayo. So my question is, did the Ndebele people fight and war when they got to the current settlement? Another question, why does it seem like the Mpumalanga Ndebele's are completely different and unrelated to you. The language is different, and there's no mention of them in your history. But, this is very interesting I must say.
Whites were the ones who named them Matabele and later known as Ndebele but most Ndebele trace their history from kzn. According to accounts while mzilikazi was running away from impisi zika Shaka ka Senzangakhona he went kidnapping Ndebeles from Mpumalanga, Swatis, Tswanas etc. Just do research.
@@kagimanye1757 no they are not zulus they amaNdebele, they are mixed with swatis's ,tswana, sotho's, pedis, ndebele's from SA, kalanga's ,lozwi, you cannot find those groups here in KZN , which means genetically they are not zulus, even their language is different as they added words from groups that joined them.
@@kagimanye1757 kuhle ukuthi sihloniphane asikho isidingo sokubizana ngamagama , What's utter rubbish it is recorded facts in history books that when mzilikazi left kzn he combined many nations to form isizwe samandebele , you find surnames like phiri , mhlanga, mabhena, moyo ,banda, those surnames are not zulu surnames which means they were assimilated to the growing ndebele's those people are linguistically and genetically not zulus, why are you insisting that they are zulus still Mzilikazi himself was zulu but along the way he added non zulus even non nguni's to the group,
Bab'Mchunu you are correct that uMzilikazi wasuka eKZN and assimilated other tribes on his way to the present day location in Zimbabwe but can I correct you on the Phiris and Bandas, they are from Malawi. Mzilikazi's people were tagged with the name Ndebele after their short sojourn with the Mpumalanga Ndebele where Mzilikazi moved from the present day Pretoria after killing the then Ndebele King Sibindi and "kidnapping" a substantial number of people and moved northwards to present day Zimbabwe.
I was teach by a ndebele teacher guy's those teachers use to panich as for speaking our language at school to my self learning ndebele was waste of time am not a ndebele am venda-peli I should be teached my languages to those teachers you beat me I wonder how you doing
@@killerbea334life6 never ! The name tebele (Ndebele ) is a borrowed which was given to Ndebele people by the sotho/tswana group ....ndebele people are off-shot Zulu Mahlabezulu is what the leaders of the tribe addresses them as - e Sotho people call Zulu tebele even today
@@hillarytshabalala8354 the ndebele originated in south Africa if you go to kzn at ladysmith you will find a surname called ndebele. Ndebele founded the ndebele national and the pedi,sotho and thswana were amazed when ndebele and his followers had long shields.so their thought that everyone who had a long shield was a ndebele.
It would be a good idea to put subtitles in Ndebele and in other languages so that Ndebele history becomes more attention. It is a valuable heritage to share with other human beings and it will create more understanding of the culture and mindset of Ndebele people. Of course, thia task is only for Ndebele people because you are the protectors and the ones that impart your own history, culture and tradition.
Why really are we wasting so much time just to create a nation out of a nickname ... honestly ? Simple call yourselves Zulus ... Proudly Zulu . I don't mean to offend anyone.. if Mzilikazi a King Shaka were brothers ,it's Simple one bloodline (ZULUS)
@@mkhokheligandarry1431 if u know how Zulus name came by ... ? U might view this from a different view .. Zulus were there... Shaka only made the nation stronger and expanded it.. original name for so called ndebele comes from matebele , mzilikazi could not pronounce it so its a nickname given by tswana people.. in English the follwers
I was in South Africa on the 16th of july 2021 I'm disappointed of how I was treated in Alberton passport office by 4 xhosa ladies they treated me like I was filthy being called a Zimbabwean but in a very rude and nasty way and it was a pity coz I couldn't say nothing I was treated like I stole my South African documents but that's not the case my stepfather was South African he adopted me and my siblings I was 2 at the time .but anyway I pray for those people coz we're one
Our African leaders are letting us down .. I refuse to be called south African.. I call myself African. .. sorry for that , coz our brothers and sisters are not informed well...
