Followers & Sources
originate from the present day
KwaZulu-Natal. They first travelled
with Abakwa Zelemu (AmaBhaca) to
south kzn and later broke away and
entered the Transval Their first
known chief was Mafana. They
proceeded to present day Mohlakeng
(Mhlangeni) near Randfontein and
continued to a place called Kwa-
Mnyamana near Pretoria under the
leadership of King Musi. After the
death of Musi they split into two
tribes Ndzundza and Manala due to
succession dispute. Ndzundza and
Manala were the sons of Musi
Mhlanga.
Masombuka settled with the
Ndzundza group while Mthombeni
and Sibasa headed north with their
followers. Sibasa later joined the be-
Venda. Mrhwaduba joined the Pedi
near Turfloop in Limpopo.
Dlomu went back to KZN, Mphafudi
and Litjha ended with the South
Sotho in Lesotho and Free State.
All the above were sons of Musi of
Mhlanga.
The Ndzundza group moved past
Middleburg and settled at Roosenekal
(Kwasimkhulu) The Manala group
returned to Kwamnyamana after the
truce they made with the Ndzundza
group near Loskop Dam Middleburg
at a place called Konoqolo/Koqoli.
When Ndzundza died his son Mrhetja
took over, and when Manal died his
son Silamba took over kingship.
Later regents ruled the Ndzundza,
those were Siboko, Somdeyi and
Mabhoko.
Mabhoko died in 1865 and Masilela
took over followed by Soqaleni who
ruled until 1873, followed by
Xobongo up to 1879, who was
succeeded by Nyabela.
In the 1980’s the Musi Ndebele were
given the land in the north-east of
Pretoria near Groblersdal and
Marblehall (Siyabuswa) as their semi-
independent homeland. The youth
and the Ndzundza royal house
resisted apartheid independence.
That place was called Kwandebele
and is now under Mpumalanga
province of the Republic of South
Africa.
The language that these Ndebele
spoke was a mixture of Nguni, Pedi
and Afrikaans. In the 1980’s efforts
were made to preserve a purer form
of Ndebele and it has been very
successful becaus now they speak
pure undiluted Ndebela language
which is also taught at schools.
Previously they were taugth in Pedi
and Zulu languages.
