    • Nokwe = Ziningo, son of Zwana/Zwane of the Ntombela clan of the Zulus. Ntombela bore the first Zulu whore bore Gumede. A lot of Eastern Cape Xhosas are actually Zulus from the 3 dynasties before the final one of Mpande. There were Shaka/Ishaka, Mhlangana/Shangana, Dingaan/Daine, Cetshwayo = Mambo/Mlambo= Msuthu Lot of Shezi people in KZN as Buthelezi and within AbaThembu as Xulu, Makhathini and other Ndosi = Cele people. All fall under the Mthethwa of King Shaka. There are lots of Zulu-speaking Gosa or Khoza or Xhosa towns in KZN. Also, the village names are repeated at least 3 times. One in rural KZn, one in South Coast and one further down the coast between EL and Mzimkhulu. It is the weirdest thing ever. For instance, KwaNyuswa or Nyuswa is in 3 different places in KwaZulu alome before counting South Coast, Mpumalanga, Swatini etc. But Miya = Machi = Mani = Mangi = Mangwe = Mango = Mbango = Mbengu = Mfengu = Mfango = Bafokeng. The main Bafokeng unit that we exist in was called Mthethwa. I live in Empangeni in KwaMthethwa. And most of these places read like Eastern Cape history and I have done my research. For Instance, I live in Esikhawini, there is another one in eNtsikeni, South Coast

    • Miya and Ndlangisa and Tshezi are all related in that they all descend from the same ancestor. Miya and Thole or Ndlangisa for instance are from the minor houses of Kuze who is father to Zizi and Tolo, which makes them Dlamini I's descendants. Tshezi descends from Dlamini II and his lineage is the same as that of the Swati Dlaminis who descend from Ngwane who begot Bomvu, hence ama-Bomvana who broke off to form their own chiefdom led by Njilo who is father to Tshezi the progenitor of ama-Tshezi. There is a lot of oral history that supports this claim even though it has not been documented.
