Hi can you please assist me I'm looking for a history of Ndaba clan apparently my great parents are up north my great grandfather fled during a battle with his wife and kids and never looked back my grand father has also passed he didn't know his father's or mothers side of the family but God helped me I found my his mother's side of the family I was just finishing my prayer when I saw this video I've been given a task in a dream to lead them back home
Thank you for the wonderful video although I need to state a point of correction. The part about Mzilikazi and Zwangendaba having been comrades under Zwide is wrong. Mzilikazi's father Mashobane had married Zwide's daughter Nompethu who was Mzilikazi's step mother, he himself having been born of Mashobane's other wife, Cikose Ndiweni of the Amangwe clan. The feud between Mzilikazi and his step maternal grandfather stemmed from the fact that since the Khumalo of Mashobane lived on the southern ends of Zwide's Ndwandwe territory, they were tasked with providing intelligence to Zwide of any movement of Mthethwa warriors close to the realm and when Mashobane failed to do that on one occasion, Zwide had Mashobane executed by having his arms cut off. The Khumalo then switched their allegiance to the Mthethwa after having chosen Mzilikazi as Mashobane's successor. Mzilikazi in revenge then took a troop of Khumalo warriors and went to swear allegiance to Dingiswayo after which he was put under the tutelage of Shaka who was already an established general in the Mthethwa army. They say Shaka was so impressed with Mzilikazi's fighting prowess that he made him his right hand man as he saw a younger version of himself in Mzilikazi. The two of them played a very crucial role in the battle of Mhlathuze River where the Mthethwa army defeated the Ndwandwe army. After the battle, post Dingiswayo's death, Shaka incorporated most Nguni clans under his Zulu tribe but he allowed Mzilikazi and his Khumalo to be independent and guard the northern edges of Zululand, around present day Nongoma and Mkhuze. Unfortunately the two would later have a fallout leading to Mzilikazi's departure to present day Zimbabwe.
@TheScr… you are right, thanks for putting the record right. I am a Ndwandwe, that’s what was passed on me by grandma by word of mouth . She was Shangani origin. She passed on aged 113 years old. At that age, she could still cook for me. RIP Gogo
@@BonganiMagadu Yes I am. Chief Khayisa and his clan originate from Mzilikazi's maternal clan, the Amangwe people from whom other SA surnames like the Mbambo are descended. Mzilikazi deliberately elevated a lot of relatives from his maternal side of the family to being senior chiefs and generals knowing well that there was less likelihood of his throne being challenged by them as compared to his own Khumalo people. That's why there are currently a lot of Ndiweni chiefs in Matabeleland nowadays. Regarding the suburb, I wouldn't be too sure. I know of a Mpumalanga suburb in the town of Hwange in Matabeleland North though, if I'm not mistaken. The town has no Ndebele origin though. It was 1st settled by the Nambya people and the Makololo who were an offshoot of the Sotho people well before Mzilikazi's arrival on the Zimbabwean plateau.

Guys and ladies, I beg all of us, myself included, to help, celebrate and encourage each other. Evidently the stories told about African icons, and I never knew about inkosi uSobhuza until Africa Enchanted mentioned him, will be 100 per cent accurate. That is what happens when Africans, in the diaspora too, have been violently conquered (erased from history books) Let us correct each other without publicly lambasting our efforts as worst as calling them untrue. Our African icons were not perfect. We are not perfect. Tyler Perry is not perfect. Yet no one calls him out to use his money to make our African heroes immortal through Hollywood movies. I one day would like to see Blockbuster Manthatisi or Zwide biopic. Having said that, let us support this innovative revolution called Africa Enchanted. Phambili maAfrika amahle.
We need to make our history movies. We do not need any foreigner to make our movies, in which they will infuse their own cultural biases, and have the depicted wearing weaves of white women's hair, and speaking affected effeminate tones intended to mimic white people. Let Tyler Perry and Oprah make movies for black Americans
This is a good account of our history, even though, history cannot be 100% accurate. It is important to note that the migrations started from Nguniland not Zululand.
The migrations specifically started in the areas occupied by present-day Zulu people. I make this distinction because Nguni groups lived in various regions in South Africa. If I say Nguniland, then people might think this includes Xhosa, Swazi and Ndebele lands.
The Ngoni in Tanzania settled in a place called Ndonde the name was latter changed to Songea town in memory of chief Songea Mbano the grandson of Zwangendaba who was hanged by the Germans after losing the resistance war maji maji in fighting them off!
This channel is so needed. Keep up the good work. Shout for help towards changing the African history Narrative...As we relearn we are one Bantfu lost Brothers and Sisters.
The empire (collection of kingdoms), known as Ngoni (colonisers say Nguni), is derived from the phrase "Abantu abaNgoni" meaning people who do not sin Ngoni (without sin), Abantu (people or those of God)
Probably not true, Its more likely the otherway around. No traces of "Ngoni" in the southern African Nguni languages. Just because "Kona" which means to wrong something or someone has similar linguistic traits doesn't mean it is true.
You forget that our history was written by the colonizers, who got to call us Nguni... Most probably intentionaly changing the meaning of the word... I remember Baba Credo narrative also said abaNgoni....
@@SPECTRE559 you are correct it's abantu abangoni people who don't sin, we are the children of untu the creator that's why it say (aba) meaning these people are the children of (ntu) the creator (abantu in full) then it goes on to say abangoni that means they don't sin, so we are called by his name untu the creator, abantu his children

Thanks for the clear education,so you say sobhuza 1 was already king when the ngoni people journey started...so why do we Swazis fall under Nguni people aswell
It's all bull shit to be honest The story just doesn't maths and ni I don't mean the narrators story but the official history. It becomes confusing how Mzilikazi ended up in my country Zimbabwe For me it becomes worse, I'm shona from Zimbabwe but my clan/totem is Maphosa and our grandad always told we originate in Swaziland and settled on manicalnd between Zim and Mozambique. We know Nandi, Shaka mom was Swazi and trying to connect it all between Mzilikazi and then Zwangendaba settling north of Limpopo starts to fall apart And I'm sure Ngoni is just a name given to those languages which are similar eg ndebele, swati, Zulu and Xhosa. Otherwise it would suggest that before Zwangendaba passed through Eswatini nobody spoke nguni language which of course is nonsense🙄🙄🤔
@@georgebeni4426 The Shona have never been swallowed up by the Ndebele. They make up 80% of the population of Zimbabwe, while the Ndebele are only 16%. There are 5 Shona for every Ndebele. Sorry
Where did the Rozvi who lived around Khami go? They are the only shona group who co-habited with the Ndebele, I am aware of the statistics u ar giving but our conversation is on the Lozwi pipo.
Mpezeni was the true heir, since zwangendaba'so great royal wife loziwawa was barren and soseya as loziwawa's sister had the privilege of bearing the heir as it is tradition of the ngoni people
But he took that away after the sisters were accused of witchcraft . He promoted Mnene as indlunkulu after destroying Loziwawa’s village and called for execution of sisters. Soseya was not executed as she was found pregnant. Later on King Zwangendaba was happy to know he had a Son from one of the sisters. I think this is where things got complicated.
Zwangendaba's biggest mistake was not reinstating loziwawa as his great wife and acknowledging the ndwandwe boy as his heir. The ngoni were fierce warriors and would have stood strong as one nation. Their breaking into different small groups led them to completely lose their language.
ZWANGENDABA run off when he head that MZILIKAZI crossed limpopo river ,WHY BECAUSE KING MZILIKIZA was the one who masterminded the plan of defeating his grandfather KING ZWIDE
At 4:15; the narrator says Soshangaan was the founder of Gazankulu Empire. Gazankulu is something else, it was was formed in 1969. Soshangaan was the founder of Gaza (Gasa) Empire founded between 1822 - 1838s. 😃

My mum l am proud to be a daughter of the chief
Thank you to the narator hard reseach very truthful infor. But It would have more pride if this was shared by a the son of the black soil. This reminds me of the time when I had or was forced to learn about Yan Van Riebek settlers also narrated in English. Who tells our stories in our language without any fabrications, where are our historian black men and women becasue such platforms are flexible to any age groups. Sikhathele ukuzwa ngesingesi ihistory yethu iphinde ingangeni toe ezindlebeni.....
All my stories are in English. It’s the most accessible language for many people.
I support English , for everyone to understand..I'm Swati, some Zulu or ndebele words can be different
Very well researched 👏🏼👏🏼
Zulus migrated are scattered all over southern and east Africa so why do we call each other kwerekwere
Knowledge is power
The people that call our brothers the k word have no knowledge of thyself
@@duchesstyrathey found other tribes who were not ngoni people so not everyone is ngoni
@@lebzadlamini2844 I don’t get your point
Every Zulu is Ngoni by origin but not all Ngoni were Zulu
I mean Ngoni/ Nguni tribe existed before the rise of Zulu empire
Am proud of this❤❤❤
See your surname 😉 I’m glad that you’re proud. Please share this video with your friends & family. ☺️

kaikaikaiakia MANYANGA kaikaikaikaikai ,,, there's a link between ngoni or nguni with the BA KONGO.. any idea?
I am the 6th generation of King Sobhuza 1 of Swaziland, now Eswatini

Same meaning bro..Nguni or Ngoni peoples
Proud Nguni

They are African though
But not all black people are ngoni and bantu though the bantus and ngoni are smaller in structure compared to other groups some are really tall like the masi people from Kenya and some are big boned like Nigerians and some are smaller with longer arms, there has always been other groups in africa that are different from the bantus and the ngonis which is basically one thing

Well explained
Thanks for the clear education,so you say sobhuza 1 was already king when the ngoni people journey started...so why do we Swazis fall under Nguni people aswell
It's all bull shit to be honest
The story just doesn't maths and ni I don't mean the narrators story but the official history. It becomes confusing how Mzilikazi ended up in my country Zimbabwe
For me it becomes worse, I'm shona from Zimbabwe but my clan/totem is Maphosa and our grandad always told we originate in Swaziland and settled on manicalnd between Zim and Mozambique. We know Nandi, Shaka mom was Swazi and trying to connect it all between Mzilikazi and then Zwangendaba settling north of Limpopo starts to fall apart
And I'm sure Ngoni is just a name given to those languages which are similar eg ndebele, swati, Zulu and Xhosa. Otherwise it would suggest that before Zwangendaba passed through Eswatini nobody spoke nguni language which of course is nonsense🙄🙄🤔
@@tindo9833 eish😔 & yes I know Maphosa surname in Eswatini
It's all lies these ppl have an agenda in what they are doing and it Zimbabwens
@@Mqondisi101 Correct
I travelled to Lobamba and met a Maphosa in the Steers she worked there. Nice people and I enjoyed my two days there😎
Ngoni is sub Nguni
You need to revisit the clashes Zwangendaba had with the Lozwi!! There are a lot of distortions in your narration...
A lot? I’d be happy to if you gave me some specific examples.
Who are the Lozwi people? I do not believe there are such people
They are one of Shona tribes called Rozvi, they got swallowed up in the Ndebele tribe
@@georgebeni4426 The Shona have never been swallowed up by the Ndebele. They make up 80% of the population of Zimbabwe, while the Ndebele are only 16%. There are 5 Shona for every Ndebele. Sorry
Where did the Rozvi who lived around Khami go? They are the only shona group who co-habited with the Ndebele, I am aware of the statistics u ar giving but our conversation is on the Lozwi pipo.
I am MGCINI NDABA,MNKANDLA is my surname MZILIKAZI KA MASHOBA NE is my king,long live the NDEBELE clan BAYEDE!!!
Great man indeed
Sorry that we leant this in STD 3 in 1983 @ PSchool
Please do a video about Mnkandla people my brother please please
Proudly Ngoni
In Zim schools it existed as MFECANE. 5 Kings fled Tshaka incl Mzilikazi, Zwangendaba, Soshangane etc
What language does the Ngoni under chief Mpezeni speak right now
Make a video about Matibi...
It seems the zulus are in everybody's history, particularly in southern Africa.
Remember that Zulu people were sub-group from Nguni tribe of Mthetwa clans
Mpezeni was the true heir, since zwangendaba'so great royal wife loziwawa was barren and soseya as loziwawa's sister had the privilege of bearing the heir as it is tradition of the ngoni people
But he took that away after the sisters were accused of witchcraft . He promoted Mnene as indlunkulu after destroying Loziwawa’s village and called for execution of sisters. Soseya was not executed as she was found pregnant. Later on King Zwangendaba was happy to know he had a Son from one of the sisters. I think this is where things got complicated.
Zwangendaba's biggest mistake was not reinstating loziwawa as his great wife and acknowledging the ndwandwe boy as his heir. The ngoni were fierce warriors and would have stood strong as one nation. Their breaking into different small groups led them to completely lose their language.
Please Nguni people we mas came back guys
I love my ngoni
❤❤
uZwangenda never clashed with uMzilikazi....
Yep, that was mentioned.
He ran away from mzilikazi
ZWANGENDABA run off when he head that MZILIKAZI crossed limpopo river ,WHY BECAUSE KING MZILIKIZA was the one who masterminded the plan of defeating his grandfather KING ZWIDE
Wanna know about Nyamazana
Are the people illustrating real or just AI????
Zwangendaba is our forefather as Jele's.. And Jele's forefathers of all the Ngonis(Jere's from Jele)..outside South Africa.
Sizalwa amaqhawe.
Ngwane Mnguni Zwane Mbuku what do you know about them
Aniyeke ukusifundekela nge history, you can remain ngonis/Ngunis whatever you call in your countries, VOETSEK
Then why are you on this page if you dont want to learn the history. Go and watch the things that interest you.
You think you are funny but you not y do u watch something you are not interested in?
My Ancestor left with Nghunghunyani he was Chief Nkami in Mozambique the Gaza Kingdom.... Gaza Nkulu..... Nzwa nghendaba was Moses....
At 4:15; the narrator says Soshangaan was the founder of Gazankulu Empire. Gazankulu is something else, it was was formed in 1969. Soshangaan was the founder of Gaza (Gasa) Empire founded between 1822 - 1838s. 😃
Ngoni or Nguni??..
Among kikuyus of Kenya in kangema division are people called muthirigathi,Tutu ,ngoni etc.
Can you plz make a Video about Amahlubi Nation
After watching this video I am thinking that some of today’s Shona People’s’ of Zimbabwe has History that is affected by these events.
Am from Mzimba northen region of Malawi and Mzimba means body.
So interesting. That’s what means for various Nguni languages in South Africa ☺️
So why are you disrespecting us iam a proud shangaan from mpumalanga born in this land iam mabutho ka ngobeza but amazulu the tribe that has the same blood as mine call me I shangane ma libuyele e Maputo when my roots are at ngoje which is Ladysmith now
So abaluyha came from South Africa?where is the evidence
Infor on the ngoni bemba 6years war and by the way zwangendaba died in northern zambia he is buried there
He died in Songea and left his older son ( Chief Songea-Mbano )
@@AndrewKundya his elder son was mpazeni
Sydney even me I don't buy this Tanzania nonsense
If there were Ngoni people in Tanzania we would see and recognise them by looks and names surely
@@AndrewKundya Zwangendaba's first born was Mphezeni
They separate Us. 😢we were one
My paternal grandmother is a descendant
So Shaka is aim was to unit all ngoni
Who are Ngoni people?Iam confused just any one can just explain 😮
Descendants of Nguni clans which migrated north ward to Zambia, Malawi , Mozambique and Tanzania
Ngoni in Shona means Mercy.
Great!
The Original conquerors of Southern Africa. The original colonisers of South Africa. But do not tell this to SouthAfricans😂
We need a African narrator because you can't pronounce the names. You surely can't and it sounds wrong. Try to say this for us to laugh.. Iqahi leqoqoqo lathuma uqoqoqo ngoba limqoqile yena enguqwalazo owazikhotha emhlane. Utshontshi nkomo ibekwe qwaqwe ishovela untangeni maxaxaza egcotshwe qumbe imbabazane... Practice this and your tongue will be flexible to speak any bantu language
I'm an African narrator.
Why do you start your own instead of complaining on someone hard work 😅
