Our King Goodwill Zwelithini “ukhotheme” meaning his majesty is no more of this earth about 2 days ago . In the coming months you will b updating the Royal family tree.
Hi, I am a Zulu and let me correct you, the Zulu kingdom did not begin from King Shake the Kingdom came began from King Zulu KaNtomela who we believe was the founder of the Zulu Kingdom. The Zulu kingdom was not powerful at that time because of the three powerful kingdoms which were the Ndwandwe, Mthethwa and the Ngwane, there were seven Kings before King Shaka, therefore, King Shaka is well known because of bravery and smart mind when it comes to Battles. He strengthened the Zulu kingdom and made it powerful then other kingdoms. so next time do your research properly and I don't blame you the Nguni people did not use literature when it comes on passing information to the younger generation, I got this information from my grandma. my grandma is from the Zulu kingdom and I'm from the Mthetwa Kingdom, peace...
Very true, thank you for pointing this out. The Zulu kingdom is far older than King Senzangakhona, with a long lineage. I grew up in Vryheid KZN and we were taught this as well.
UZulu is one of Malandela's sons not this Ntomela probably u mean his mom. The logic of birth is captured thru thier praise @ family level, a bit of history was also kept by praise singers.
The Zulu people did not “explode onto the scene”! They were home. The colonizers tried to “explode” into Africa instead. Please convey the correct narrative.
The problem is us, us AFRICAN leaving our stories to be told by Non-Africans... They cant even pronounce our names perfectly. We are used to consuming. We consume every nonsense we are being fed, even lies.
He actually was Swazi. But I think many of you get it wrong. The Zulus, Ngwanes, Mthethwas, Ndwandwes are actually Swazi. They descend from Mswazi the first.
If you are thinking of continuing this series: there is a really, not only the Ndebele and Shangane left Zululand, also the Ngoni's, under Zwangendaba. They walked all the way up to present-day Tanzania, settling in different groups in Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia. (I have a family tree if you're interested)
I never understand how videos such as these actually get dislikes! It's an information video for those of us interested in history. What's to dislike about them?
There was a video a long time ago talking about view bots/like bots/subscription bots etc that people pay for to boast their analytics. Apparently these bots randomly dislike videos of non-client channels to make their detection more difficult.
Maybe they don't like the fact that the facts he presents aren't true yes he has the timeline but but not the story of what actually transpired im zulu and the story of all what was transpired has been past on for generations after generations to avoid someone who really wants to know the truth of history obscuring the facts which may mislead someone's definition of their history
your information isn't accurate. i am Zulu myself. Senzangakhona was never a swazi chief the Zulus have always been a nguni tribe of there own Senzangakhona was the sone of Jama who was the son of Ndaba who was the sone of Mageba who was the son of Gumede who was the son of Zulu the first Zulu. Back in the days of Zulu there were many Nguni Tribes in south africa but they were never united. they were only united during the era of Shaka who expanded the Zulu Kingdom. Even so he never actually conquered all the tribes,
When the WHITE tells the story of an African warrior, it’s always made up to make themselves feel good. “I only compete with my equals” - Dr. John H. Clark
@@theyoungguy1147 Uqinisile kakhulu ngalokho igama elithi Nguni liyasihlanganisa sonke. Kodwa kulesisqeshana lesi ebengisibhalile lana i was strictly talking about the Zulu being part of a wider nation hence why i said they were a Nguni nation of their own seperate from the Swazi Nguni Nation not that i was referring to them as being the only Nguni nation. Put in mind ukuthi around that time the Nguni were a striving people with many big nations that were seperate from each other. mina bengilwa iphutha elinziwe umlungu uma ethi ubukhosi bamaZULU buke bahola isizwe sikaSobhuza (samaSwati).
Hi there. I had to get this chart up again. I am South African and the Zulus are celebrating as they have just crowned a new king..thought you might be interested
@@UsefulCharts to do this you would definitely have to start at Adam and Eve and you can even tie in haplogroups. Africans have to oldest haplogroups that are the closest to the first man and woman (beginning of creation). They are of L0, L1, L2, L3 etc. These are the maternal haplogroups. HeLa (Henrietta Lacks is of L3). Every other haplogroup is a mutation of these first lines. They have archeological evidence to support this. Also, some Asian groups (Chinese to be specific) have traced their DNA back to a common African ancestor so that would be something to add. I honestly feel it should be the most extensive tree to map. It would be interesting to see it.
This video is not about the the family tree of the AmaZulu since it only starts from King Shaka......another wrong info is that king Zwethini went to St Helena he did not go there his grandfather was the one who was exiled. Also King Zwethini's Mother is still alive she addressed the nation through Prince Mangosuthu following the Death of King Zwelithini ....
The video talks about the family tree of the Zulu kings. Shaka was the first Zulu king, he is the one who established the Zulu kingdom. Before Shaka, there was only Zulu chiefdom, i.e., Zulus were ruled by chiefs not kings. King Goodwill Zwelithini was the 8th Zuku king.
@@o.ghanylo617 you are really are disturbed and need to be educated ! That all I can say to you for now. From Mnguni all the way down those were kings not chiefs but kings. Do you research properly. The fact that Shaka expanded the nation under his rule doesn't not nullify the kinds before him no does it downgrade them to chiefs.
@@devinsenter8030 that your version of stupidity when it comes to defining a king, would you care to tell me probably how large an area are we talking about ? So that maybe it will be easy to do some comparison and prove you wrong with your own thumb sucked logic that makes no sense. By the way your use of the F word proves how an idiot you are engaging in a subject you know nothing about claiming to be an expert in it ! But I don't blame you it is a white thing to think you are superior and packed with the highest logic while the opposite is actually a fact and truth about you specifically. Have great one .
I think this confusion comes about because there was Prince Senzangakhona who was a chief in ancient Swaziland..Currently his great grand child has also been crowned chief.The current chief Senzangakhona is a judge of the supreme court of Eswatini.I think that's where the computer made a mix-up of facts..
Nandi and Senzangakhona were married, the other wives accused her of giving birth too early which implied she got pregnant earlier than she was married, ACCUSED! Shaka wasn't a bastard
Shaka born c. 1787, was the illegitimate child of Senzangakona, chief of the Zulu tribe and Nandi of the E- Langeni tribe. Nandi's mother, Mfunda (daughter of Kondlo, the Qwabe chief ) was of the Qwabe tribe. Due to a kinship taboo the Zulus could not marry people of the Qwabe descent, thus Shaka was doubly dishonoured. Eventually after much hardship he found sanctuary with the Mtetwa tribe under their chief Jobe. Jobe was followed by his son Dingiswayo as chief of the Mtetwas. When Sensangakona died in 1816 Shaka's halfbrother, Sigujana assumed the chieftainship of the Zulus , but with the help of Dingiswayo, Shaka ousted him and became chief himself.
We are all from the Nguni/Ngoni Kingdom in South Africa - Similar Cultures and Spirituality. In South Africa we then created our own Kingdoms from our tribes - 9 of them. Some were previously called TBVC states , Lesotho and Eswatini are aslo South African but the 2 Kingdoms decided to rule their people indipendantly from the government of South Africa. Camagu !
I hope the Zulus are learning...the Zulu kingdom started by Shaka with the help of the MTHETHWA Paramoncy after he conquered small tribes around the region. Before Shaka there were different clans with their chiefs including the Zulu tribe with its chiefs starting from Phunga and Mageba up to chief Senzangakhona. Shaka Zulu consolidated all these tribes and the ZULU KINGDOM was born.
This goes to show how uneducated you are in the subject you are trying to undertake as an expert! You have been misled by the white man's literature so much that you don't even understand your own history. Phunga and Mageba are we down the line from the where the kingdom of the AmaZulu Nation came from. Hamba uye ko khokho bakuxoxele kahle umlando ayilento Oyivuma lana engekho.....l video has soo many errors you didn't pick them up because you just want to prove the importance of the Mthethwa's in influencing King Shaka .
@@SundayYHWH Chiefstacy was already there in the Zulu clan hence I highlighted Phunga and Mageba. Maybe you should understand the difference between a CHIEFSTANCY and the KINGDOM before you make such a comment.
The reason for the attack on the Afrikaaner was that during their first visit, many were wondering around like tourists esigodlweni. This made amabutho believe they gathering information for an attack. You can imagine the paranoia of the time. King Dingaane’s reign was marked by continous wars, there many songs (amahubo) complaining about how terrible a time it was.
IFP (Inkatha Freedom Party) never a minor political party in South Africa, but one of the major ones. Few things to be corrected, but thanks for showing interest to the King of AmaZulu nation. Sithi Bayeeeeeeeede!!!! to our king , MisuZulu ka Zwelithini.
It's amazing the number of ppl on here saying "it's a disgrace for a white man to do Africa", The channel does countries from all over the world. It's what they do. How do you not understand that? I have seen that there is compliants of some inaccuracies. If that is the case, that's to bad, but im sure it's unintentional. The European history goes back millennia so mistakes are made just from the sheer time span. Mistakes happen. So much disrespect given to a channel for what I'm sure took time and effort to get together.
I deny the existence of Shaka Zulu, if you wanna correct me, show me a picture of him or his body remains (bones) or tombstone if he was really a king.
As a Zulu, I would like a more extended version of this family tree starting from Mnguni (An extended cut if you will😅) It is so complicated, convoluted and intriguing it would be a blast. It's full of politics, war, mystery, incest, cannibalism... it's so f'ing crazy I think it would be awesome
Something doesn't go well with me whenever a non African tells African stories. Please respect us and do proper research or let us explain ourselves to you and not the other way around...
Many thanks for your article. There is a new Zulu king now. King Misizulu Zwelethini was crowned officially on Saturday 20 August after entering the great kraal and delivering the lion in accordance with Zulu tradition.
There is no record a person called Ntu. There must have been a person called Nguni because we call ourselves AbeNguni. Ntu seems to derive from word Abantu which by most nations of Central nd southern Africa. There are also workds like Bakuthi /Bakwethu/ Wakuthi/ Bakithi/Mawethu/ Abethu .This words groups a group of abantu/avathu/batho etc. We need as a ntion to find out who was Nguni what is a Nguni language and where it comes from?
I nearly shutdown this video when u said the British Army retaliated , we ddnt call them to come here to slaughter however they came here disrespected our ppl ,we don't take disrespect lightly .
King Zwelithini has never been to St. Helena, only King Dinuzulu has been there. When his father, King Bhekuzulu bowed out in 1968, King Zwelithini went to hide somewhere in the Transvaal region, not St. Helena. Also, Prince Mcwayizeni was a regent from 1968 to 1971, then King Zwelithini took over just recently (2021) when he also bowed out after almost 50 years in the throne. King Senzangakho has never been a Swazi Chief as per label on the chart.
Don't be to quick to be impressed by falsehoods, you asking him to do the Xhosa Chart don't you have elders in your village who can actually tell you facts and truth than this imposter who is misleading people about my History mina ngingumZulu owazi imvelaphi yakhe.
The Boer Republics were already established by the time of Dinuzulus reign and even occured before the Anglo-Zulu War so did he help them establish the republics during that time period? Or ony to consolidate them? Because the 1st Boer War already occured in 1880-1881.
Very useful insight, well done! Good effort in your pronounciation too!! Critics, consider being proactive and post what you deem correct, instead of your negativite utterances.
The Zulu kingdom did not emerge only through Shaka. Start with Mnguni wherein you will realise that all the tribes from amanguni and shangaans are part of the Zulus
@@vusimthalane9299 You are very correct. The true Nguni kings are the Ndwandes. The true heir to the Malandela thrones are the Qwabes and not the Zulus. Other than the Nxumalos/ Ndwandes, the rest were Chiefdoms and not Kingdoms; Mthethwa, Malandela, Mncwango, etc
The Late King Goodwill Zwelithini KaBhekizulu Ndabezitha Did not take refuge in Saint Helena, It was his Grand Father King Solomon kaDinuzulu who fled to Saint Helena. The Late King Goodwill Zwelithini KaBhekizulu Ndabezitha fled to Transvaal now known as Gauteng (Johannesburg).
Our People need to know about the Nguni People. The primary Kingdom then was the Ndwandes / Nxumalos followed by the Chiefdoms: Malandela, Mthethwa / Dingiswayo/ Nyambose, Mncwango, etc After Malandela, the rightful heir to the throne was supposed to have been his eldest son Qwabe the elder brother to Zulu. How Zulu tricked his elder brother ( a topic for another day). Fast forward, the Mthethwas helped uShaka to defeat the children of Senzangakhona and became the chief. Shaka wanted more & that's when he fought everyone including the Ndwandes and formed the Zulu kingdom. Named his subjects after his surname. Named their language after his surname. It is now that Qwabe wants his position back & not only that but there will be a rebirth to all the original Kingdoms and Chiefdoms - watch the space
You European don’t know what you talking about ........the Zulu kingdom did not start with Shaka it was simply most popular and came into expanding fruition with Shaka
I was listening to this Zulu tree that this white man explained. Still I am not satisfied. Thina singabo mazulu omageba. Masizwa ukhokho wokhokho wethu wabaleka during the time of Shaka. Madzikane left with his amabutho .today starting from xopo mzikhulu, mount Ali up until mount frere. That their clan names are Zulu,Mageba, vebi,khalimeshe, Dabula Makaula ,Ncaphayi and others. Mazdikane left Shaka because of cruelty. I just someone to clarify this. We are called amabhaca because our grand fathers ba bhaca meaning ran away King Zwelithini one visited Easter cape explaining.we are one Please I need this information
Definition of kingdom: a country, state, or territory ruled by a king or queen.What is a king or queen:the male/female ruler of an independent state, especially one who inherits the position by right of birth. What is a chief: a leader or ruler of a people or clan.Technically he is correct by saying the AmaZulu kingdom was established by King Sigidi "Shaka" KaSenzangakhona.During Shaka early years the was only two AmaNguni kings in "Zululand",which was King Dingiswayo Mthethwa and King Zwide Nxumalo.King Shaka turned an insignificant Zulu clan of 10,000 subjects under Chief Senzangakhona kaJama into a 1 million AmaZulu nation,thus a kingdom by amalgamating the Nxumalo and Mthethwa nations and other weak clans.The narrator didnt mention the role that was played by King Shaka's aunt Princess Mkabayi kaJama,the most powerful woman in the Amazulu history from the reign of his father until the reign of King Dingane.King Mpande banished her from the AmaZulu enclave, suspecting her of planning to kill him.King Cetshwayo was the heir apparent because of being the 1st born son,he killed his half-brother Mbuyazi and his 20,000 followers including 13 of his siblings for leaving the enclave.
It was blurry for me only during the introduction. The rest of the video was clear. Maybe try again. It could be your connection was weak (I should note, however, I know nothing about network connections, lol).
Prince Mpande was crowned King by Andries Pretoius after the battle of Blood River between the Trekboere and Impi's of Dingane. This was a victory for Christianity and peace between the Boers and Zulu nation.
For those wondering, it's a totally different Shaka. A fictional one from Star Trek the Next Generation. It was a great episode about communication and building trust between different cultures, and the difficulty of communicating when all the cultural referents are totally different, even if you understand the individual words.
UsefulCharts thats very disappointing. Love jack and his channel but you were what made this channel great in my opinion. Feels like a spin off of his main channel now. Oh well at least we have the charts
He was an actual king. He was referred to as Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu. In the Zulu culture we tend to avoid naming our children after our elders. So we are less likely to have a "the second" or "the third"
@@Lethabo_home I really wish Africans would start telling their own stories. That has been the problem with the history of Africa. No one knows it because Africans keep it to themselves and still tell it only orally! It’s time to update or no one will know your story.
I'm proudly xhosa but I would be lying if I would say I'm not fascinated and intrested by the zulu culture, I mean I do feel as though Xhosa and Zulu kingdom are the most well known in South Africa. This is my opinion ke wethu.
