EHOGO EMKHIWENI KONGUNDU
INzwananzi yehlukana phakathi lapho uMathukuthela esuka kuMaledanisa uMagutshwa labantu bakhe. Waphuma labantu bakhe waya eHogo. UMathukuthela wakha umuzi wakhe ehogo. Indawo le yabizwa ngokuthi kusemkhiweni koNgundu. Ikhona indawo enjalo lalamuhla eHogo. Indawo le ibizwa ngejaha elidala likaMathukuthela uNgundu. UMaledanisa wayeyinduna kaMathukuthela, kodwa behlukana ngesikhathi uMathukuthela esesiya eHogo lapho afika waba ngumlisa. Yikho lamuhla singabalisa kwethu. Bebuphethwe nguNkomombi ubulisa kodwa utshonile. Ufengendlela ebuhlungu uNkomombi, engasaboni kanti njalo wayesefelwe ngumfazi. Lamuhla obambileyo nguNdlalifa yena ebambele uyise uLyfert.
Ngubani okufanele aphathe ubulisa bakwethu?
Sengitshilo phambilini ukuthi ubulisa bakwethu baqala njani. Baqala ngoMathukuthela wasebutshiyela uNgundu. Ijaha elidala likaNgundu nguJuta. Kwathi ekufeni kuka Juta, ubulisa basuka baya endlini elandelayo ekaSibangani. UNkomombi uzalwa nguNgundu emzala loMabende. UNkengiwa wayebambele ijaha lisakhula kwathi ekukhuleni kwalo laphiwa ubulisa labusa. Amajaha kaNgundu ami kanje:
UJuta,
UBen Ndevuzibomvu ezala uNdodana,
uMxotshwa yena ezala uLisi,
UNkomombi ezala uMlamuli loLyfert.
Uhlupho lwaqala ukufa kukaNgundu. Esefile uNgundu, uSibangani wahlala inaka umfazi kaNgundu omncane ozala uNkomombi. Ekufeni kukaNgundu, abadala baphuma ukuze balahlise umoya owawusukhona ekhaya. Ekuphumeni kwabo, kwakufanele baqhube isiko elithile andubana bakhulumisane labantu balapha ekhaya. Lokhu akusenziwanga ngendlela yakhona. Ngiqonde imbali hatshi umbango, ngakho buza abadala bazakutshela okwenzakalayo. Mina bangitshela kodwa ngibone kukuhle ukuthi lokhu ngingakulobi ngoba ngingazi ukuthi lokhu kungalethani kundeni wakwethu. Umoya owawuqeda abantwana wawuvela koMdalimane. UMpophoma wafela enkomeni elusile. Iqiniso ngemfa yakhe ngiyalazi, kodwa ngikhethe ukuliceza leloqiniso. USibangani nguye owayesesele engubaba, wamgcoba engamgcobanga uJuta ubukhosi indodana enkulu kaNgundu. Wazula zula umoya waphangalala uJuta eselijaha. Sibangani wasethatha ubukhosi wabusa endlini encane koNkomombi. Ubukhosi lobu badala inkulumo kusukela ukutshona kukaNgundu, ngoba uMswelanto, uMjabuli lo Nkengiwa babeka amakhanda ndawonye bayisola indlela ubukhosi obaqhutshwa ngayo. Bobathathu bambiza uSibangani bakhuluma laye ngale indaba, kodwa kwehlula ukuthi bayiqondise. Bamkhalalela ubukhosi uSibangani, bamtshela ukuthi abasuthiseki ngendlela abantwana abafa ngayo njalo lokuthi ubukhosi sebukhutshiwe endlini yakhona eqondileyo. Ungalibali phela ukuthi kwenzakala konke lokhu uSibangani wayesethethe umfazi kaNgudu omncane unakaNkomombi. Ubukhosi busendlini yakoNkomombi ngokukhalalelwa katshi ngomthetho. Imbuzi izele amazinyane amathathu, elimhlophe, elimnyama, lelibomvu elilempumulo emhlophe, ikhotha elibomvu lelimhlophe ibisitshiya lelo elilempumulo ebomvu kuthiwe yekeleni yikwenza kwayo. Kukhona okukhona ,kanti baphela abantwana bendlu yinye kaNgundu yindaba? Abanye abantwana bakaNgundu yilaba:
uMnindwa
uZondiwe
uMpophoma
uNjayabo
uJuta.
Nxa busuka kuNkomombi buzakuya kubani? Abasekho abadala abaziyo iqiniso ngale indaba kanti njalo abaseleyo bakhethe ukuthula bayekele izinto zisonakala ngamandla. Bangaze bakhulume ngale indaba ngubani ozabalalela? Ufile uNkomombi ngo 2008, abukhosi babuqhubele uLiyfert indodana kaNkomombi, osephinde wabudlulisela kundodana yakhe uNdlalifa. UMzanywa untaka Sibangani kanti laye esaphila wake wayiphatha indaba yobukhosi ebufuna ngoba ezibona elalo ilungelo lelo.
Indlu yakoDuma ithule kanti layo ilawo amandla okubusa. Imbali iyakuveza sobala ukuthi umaNdlovu ozala uDuma yiyo intombi kaMathukuthela yakuqala azikhombisela yona. Bekuthethelwa koDuma ngenxayani? Abantwana bakaDuma nampa: uNonoka uLinda uEllias uMzila uNowa UNonoka uzala uObert lo Nkosiyabo kanti laba yibo abalelungelo lokubusa. Bakhuluma ngabo lobubukhosi abantwana bakaDuma. Asazi ukuthi izaphathwa njani lindaba. Abadala bayakwazi kanti thina sikhulekela ukuthula lamaqiniso ngembali yakwethu.
USibangani watshiyela uMalinga –Dzwayi ubukhosi ngesikhathi esesiya eZambia. UMalinga wafa efakelwa etshwaleni. UMalinga wafa mahlayana nje kanti kwakunga jongwanga yena, kwakufekelwe unakaSivori. Unaka Sivori nguye owayecele lobotshwala kodwa bathi ngokuphuza ukubuya wabukhalala. UMalinga wabuthatha wasola isenzo sikanakaSivori sobukhwele watsho wazinathela. Lamtshonela uMalinga. Watsho eqeda ukunatha wathi:
“utshwala bakho maNdebele sebungihambe kubi”
Wasuka lupho wadiyazela eseqonda ngekhaya kodwa wehlulekela koEnock. Wawa bamthwalela ngekhaya kodwa waphela ngemva kwesikhathi esifitshane efike emzini wakhe. Basuka lapho ubukhosi baya kuNkomombi. Wayekhona uSibangani, ngoba nguye owalahla uMalinga. USibangani-Mabhensa wahamba loRodger, Khiyiwe loKhawudeni. Watshiya uPolly-Poison, uMbulawa, Genesiyo (oliphilisa) Mzondeki loMzanywa.

Ukusinda kukaMathukuthela 2, amandla obunyanga
UMathukuthela wayeyinyanga njalo elamandla esabekako. Wasuka eBhelingwe loMnethi inkosi ifuna ukumbulala. Behluleka ukubabulala ngoba uMathukuthela wayezi vikele ngemigcozo.Wayezilungise ngophini lange pitikoti yesalukazi isiyisithutha.Wakuthatha waku bhodonga ngemithi ephezulu kwamvikela elakeni lwamabutho enkosi. Kanengi inkosi ithumela amabutho athenjiweyo ukuthi azulise uMathukuthela loMnethi. Yonke imizamo yehlula. Ayethi nxa esiza amabutho, uMathukuthela wayetshela abantu bakhe ukuthi baphume emagumeni abo bayecatsha egangeni,kuthi yena loMnethi balilindele ibutho lona elalisiza ngolaka. Lalithi nxa lisiza ibutho,bona bathathe izihlalo zabo bahlale phandle. Azakuthi nxa esebanga koMathukuthela amabutho,aphelelwe ngamandla,imicabango, baphenduke izithutha. Bazabhoda lomuzi wonke bewumana nje bekhuluma yonke imfihlo bafane lomuntu osebuthongweni ophupha ebindana labathakathi.
Igusu elihle elile mihlobo yonye yemithi. Imithi yesintu iyinqaba.
Bazadela babizane bafulathele kodwa bale lokhu bemsongela.Bangatshibilika babheke emuva,imicabango lamanda kuze njalo.Bazanxapha baqale ukuphikisana bodwa beze baphose badumelane.Bazasonga bamthembise elakusasa. Ilanga ililandelayo kuzaba ngesifanayo.Sonke isikhathi nxa ibutho lizakuza, babehlala phandle bagoqe izandla balilindele.Inkosi yakhalimela ibutho lathenjiswa ugodo aluba bengezanga labo.Ngelanga lokucina inkosi yabahaqaza ngembabazane ngaphansi yabathembisa okwedlula lapho aluba bengezanga lomswane kaMathukuthela. Lasonga ibutho lahamba ngamakhulu amandla langolaka. Konke lokhu kwenzakala nje uMathukuthela wayekhanyisa akubone konke. Laye uzazivikela ngamandla. Lizafika ibutho likhuleke lethule ingwane
likhale ngelanga langokoma, uMathukuthela uzabagolomba balitsho iqiniso lohambolwabo. Ekucineni omunye wacela ukuthi abasize olakeni lwenkosi ngokuvuma ukuthi bahambelaye njelokhu. Inkosi yacina inanzelela amandla kaMathukuthela yacina isimbiza ukuthi keze esigodlweni inkosi ifuna ukukhuluma laye. Inkosi yathumela ibutho elilemvunulo yokuthula. UMathukuthela walungisa imithi yakhe walubhekisa enkosini. Lapho kwasekusobala ukuthi inkosi isifuna ukuthi alondolozwe emehleni ayo. Labo ababethunywe okokuqala inkosi yabethesa icala lokwehluleka ukufeza umsebenzi wenkosi. Wathi efika enkosini, kufanele abulawe engakangeni esangweni, kodwa ikosi yezwakala isisithi abamdedele angene ngesango ngoba inkosi ilamagama athile laye. Wangena uMathukuthela wayakhothama enkosini. Inkosi yambuza ukuthi kungani esehlula amabutho njalo lokuthi uyinyanga na? Wavuma ukuthi uyinyanga kodwa ukuthi wehlule ibutho wakulandula. Watsho futhi ukuthi sonke loso sikhathi ibutho lisiza lalimthola ekhona elilindele kuphela ibutho kwakufanele lenze elikuthunyiweyo.
‘’ibutho liza liphethe izwi lenkosi, basebenza ngamandla abawaphiwe yinkosi ngokunjalo bamele inkosi, ngingubani mina engingeqa izwi lenkosi ngilwise izikhonzi zenkosi na, ngiqhubeke ngisingethwe ngamaphiko engqungqulu na?”
Inkosi yathi izamlibha ngokumethesa umlando wokuthi athame ibutho andubala liphume. Wasinda kanjalo uMathukuthela. Wasephiwa abantu wayahlala eMakhandeni. Walungisa elakhe ibutho layahlasela. Kulapho ibuthu ilathumba khona umaBhebhe uyisekazi kaZunguza. UmaBhebhe waphiwa uMnethi. UmaBhebhe ngunina kaMandindo. Wafica kudliwa lapha ekhaya wasecela ukuyavakatshela kibo. Waphiwa amadoda amane ukuthi amqhube. Wafika watshela abakibo ukuthi “nyika ibete” wacebisa ukuthi kabeze bazokhonza. Beza ke abantu ngobunengi.
Kanti inkosi yayifuna kumbulalalani uMathukuthela?
Kakuveli obala imbangela yomsongo wenkosi ongaka ngo Mathukuthela. Izolo sibone uMagutshwa ethi uMnethi uyamsinda ngakho ucela inkosi ukuthi imsuse koMagutshwa. Kanti wayeza sinda uMagutshwa yedwa njani? Abantu babemhlonipha kanti njalo bembiza ngelenkosi. Wayeyinyanga elamandla amabuzwayo. Wayenga phumi ekamabeyaze. Waye nothile, elezifuyo, elomvelabahleke, lesidumo, esinda njalo ehlonitshwa. asikhulumi
ngokuhlakanipha lokuqedisisa izihlahla. Wayeyinyanga elodumo eyaphuma lesikhuni sivutha emanzini. Zonke lezi izizatho zazi ngahle zimdalele inzondo kubakhula bakhe. Ngeqiniso izizatho zokufuna ukubulawa kwakhe azivelanga obala.
Igusu elihle elile mihlobo yonye yemithi. Imithi yesintu iyinqaba. Bazadela babizane bafulathele kodwa bale lokhu bemsongela.Bangatshibilika babheke emuva,imicabango lamanda kuze njalo.Bazanxapha baqale ukuphikisana bodwa beze baphose badumelane.Bazasonga bamthembise elakusasa.

Ukusinda kukaMathukuthela
UMalevu wayengumfowabo kaMathukuthela. UMathukuthela loMalevu bahlasela babhokoda injakazi yomlungu. Babotshwa uMathukuthela loMalevu bayamiswa phambi komthethwa ndaba besetheswa icala lokubulala. Kwakusobala kula amadoda ukuthi isigwebo sabo kwakulugodo. Baxoxa kabanzi ngale indaba kwakusobala nje kula amadoda ukuthi okwakusele nje yikuthi balengiswe. UMalevu wakubona kungcono ukuthi bangahambi bonke loMathukuthela. Wakhetha ukuthi ahambe yedwa. Bavumelana ukuthi uMathukuthela lihole likaMalevu. Ekuthonosisweni kwabo, uMalevu wakubeka sobala ukuthi uMathukuthela lihole lakhe njalo lokuthi owabulala umlungu nguMathukuthela ethunywe nguMalevu.
“UMathukuthela lihole lami wayengasoze ale ngimthuma ukuthi abulale umlungu ngoba aluba wake walokotha wala, kwakuzahamba yena kuqala.”
Yazimisela ukuhamba yodwa indoda yamlaya uMathukuthela ukuthi asale ekhangele abantwana. Waqhubeka uMalevu esithi:
“UMathukuthela lihole lami, yimi kanye lo (etsho ezikhomba) engimthumileyo ukuthi adle inja yomlungu. Kalacala. Ubengasoze ale ngimthuma ngoba lokhu bekusitsho ukuthi ubengaba yisendlalelo somlungu lowo. Mkhululeni azihambele kalacala.”
Wathi lalapho esethonisiswa waphenduka imvu wakhetha ukuhamba yedwa. Wasila ngaleyo ndlela uMathukuthela ngoba bavumelana ukuthi ominye kasale akhangele abantwana. Wathi bengakehlukani wacela ukuthi abe lelizwana lomfowabo. Bakhuluma bebodwa ngasese wezwakala uMalevu esithi:
“Okwami kuphelile ndoda, umlndu ngiwutshiya kuwe. Ukhumbule ukukhulisa kuhle abantwana ngoba umlando usungowakho. Uqine ndoda umhlaba wonakele. Uzasala usidla mganumunye lemigodoyi, ukwemukele lokhu ukhuze ulaka. Abantwana ubanike umlayo kababa wona ozakuma kuze kube laphakade. Ngizafika ngimtshele ubaba (Mnethi)ngomsebenzi engikutshiyele wona, ngiyazi ukuthi uzakuphathisa. Uliqhube njengoba linjalo isiko ukuze abezayo banyathele ezinyaweni zakho eziqotho. Usale kuhle mfowethu..................................”
Wavalelisa ngalawo mazwi uMalevu. UMathukuthela kwakufanele asinde ngoba wayesesemutsha, kanti njalo uMalevu wakhetha ukuthi azifele kulokuthi aphile ngaphansi kombuso wabelungu. Wayeyindoda elolaka, kanti njalo kwakuzabanzima ukuthi emukele ukufuywa ngabelungu,aphile ngaphansi kombuso wabondlebe zikhanya ilinga. Isikhathi lesi ngicabangela ukuthi kwakungaba ngomnyaka kusukela ngo 1894 kusiya ku1900. Lesi yiso isikhathi okwalwiwakhona izimpi ezimbili. (Anglo-Ndebele War 1893 lomvukela wamaNdebele 1896-7) Ngo 1893 kulapho amaNdebele alwa impi yehloka, ehlulwa alahlekelwa ngumbuso, lenkosi yabo uLobengula bazibona sebengaphansi kombuso wabelungu. Ihole lantininiza egumeni komkhulu. Mhlawumbe yilesi isikhathi uMathukuthela loMalevu abathukuthela bafa bakhetha ukuchola intwala ngembokodo bona inzipho belazo. Ungalibali phela ukuthi la kwakungamadoda oqobo, izanqada zasendulo hatshi inkusumba zamadojeyana esiwabona lamuhla, abayanga abalala beqiwe ngamagundwane, abadla bakhothe imiganu, bembule izinja imisila.
ABANTWANA BAKAMATHUKUTHELA
Kwethulwa abantwana bakaMathukuthela, iminyaka abazalwa ngayo leminyaka yalabo asebe khotheme kufika lamuhla January 2009 okuyiso isikhathi engicindezele ngaso ugwalo lolu. Eminye iminyaka ingabe inga qondanga ngoba umlobi ubesebenzisa ubuciko bakhe kwezinye indawo ukwethula iminyakale

Wavalelisa ngalawo mazwi uMalevu. UMathukuthela kwakufanele asinde ngoba wayesesemutsha, kanti njalo uMalevu wakhetha ukuthi azifele kulokuthi aphile ngaphansi kombuso wabelungu.

Ihole lantininiza egumeni komkhulu. Mhlawumbe yilesi isikhathi uMathukuthela loMalevu abathukuthela bafa bakhetha ukuchola intwala ngembokodo bona inzipho belazo. Ungalibali phela ukuthi la kwakungamadoda oqobo, izanqada zasendulo hatshi inkusumba zamadojeyana esiwabona lamuhla, abayanga abalala beqiwe ngamagundwane, abadla bakhothe imiganu, bembule izinja imisila.
ABANTWANA BAKAMATHUKUTHELA
Kwethulwa abantwana bakaMathukuthela, iminyaka abazalwa ngayo leminyaka yalabo asebe khotheme kufika lamuhla January 2009 okuyiso isikhathi engicindezele ngaso ugwalo lolu. Eminye iminyaka ingabe inga qondanga ngoba umlobi ubesebenzisa ubuciko bakhe kwezinye indawo ukwethula iminyakale

Iminyaka engaphezulu ingabe ingaqondanga xathu. Ukudinga iminyaka yokuzalwa kwabantwana bakaMathukuthela akubanga yinto elula ngakho iphutha lingaba khona lapha lalapha.
UMathukuthela wayelesithembo sabafazi abalitshumi elivayo. Wayethatha ngezindlu njengalokho okwenziwa ngumntanakhe u Johnson.
Abafana lamankazana bakaMathukuthela
Nanzi ingane zikaMathukuthela engazitholayo ekuchwayisiseni kwami. Kungenzakala ukuthi bakhona abanye abasele ngaphandle, xola, abasalanga ngokuthanda kodwa kwaba yikuthi amagama abo angiwatholanga ngesikhathi ugwalo lucindezelwa. Ngizabethula ngezindlu ngezundlu.

Izibongo zikaMathukuthela
UTshakaza mazolo
UGabadela
Owagijima ewatheni lentaba
Umaya okungabuywa eNyaningwe
Wabuya lazinkomo labantu
Dumbu likaMatshakayile
Uwawa
Unkani yamazolo kaMtilimba
Iwaba lentaba
Owathumba umfazi wayamupha uyise
Wazala uKhuza, Bhayane loNdaba
Imambenyama engadli kaMnethi
Ulusu lutshaya inja kaMathukuthela
UBamtshateta wathunjwa nguMathukuthela wayamupha uyise. UBamtshateta wafika wazala amajaha amathathu uMkhuza, Bayane lo Ndaba. UBamtshateta kuphuma ukuthi weza labantwana ababili, uMthumbeni loSikhuzanku. UMthumbeni uzala uNhlanyelo-uMahatshalala kanti uSikhuzanku uzala uMasola lo Mafuka. Kambe izibonga zakhe zethulani ngembali yakhe?

Savela ngaphi?
Icele lokuqala
Singa Makhalanga kumbe singaManguni? Lo ngumbuzo engizawuphundula ukusuthise kumbe njalo udale ukufuthelana kubafowethu. Aluba ungahambelani lecele lakuqala xola ngoba likhona icele lesibili lalo elethula isisusa somdeni wakwethu. Amacele womabili ayavumelana kokunye kanti njalo aphikisane kokunye. Ke wena hlaziya amacele womabili ngokuhlakanipha kuze uveze iqiniso ngembali yakho.

Izangelo ezinga phezulu zingabe ziveza ukuthi singaMakhalanga na? Wena uyazazi na lezizangelo njalo uvumelana lazo na? Sikhule sisazi ngezangelo ezingaphezulu kambe lokhu kungufakazi wokuthi singaMaKhalanga na? AmaKhalanga kanti wona avela ngaphi? History tells us that the Kalanga are the descendants of Munumutapa from Great Zimbabwe. They moved to the South after the fall of Great Zimbabwe in about 1500AD. Kutshoni lokhu? Kungabe kusitsho ukuthi singamaHole thina?
Kuyini amaTunu? Uthini uPathisa Nyathi ngama Talawunda? Bala indaba elandelayo eyalotshwa ngu Pathisa Nyathi echasisa ukuthi ngabani amaTalawunda. AmaTunu zintaba. Aluba sivumelana ngezibongo ezingaphezulu kanti njalo wabala lendaba ka Nyathi ngamatalawunda, kusobala ukuthi singamaKhalanga, njalo akupheleli lapho, kuqhubeka kuvela ubuhlobo phakathi kwethu lamaRozvi.
UMnethi wavela ePluntree. Kulabanye abathathela indaba yembali yakwethu phakathi, bathi uMnethi wadabuka ePlumtree, lapho aficwakhona nguMzilikazi eluse izimvu. Ngembali uMnethi wayeyindoda efuyileyo njalo ilomuzi ozothileyo. Yayethanda izifuyo ikakhulu izimvu zona ezazingange thsebetshebe lolwandle. Watholwa nguMzilikazi elusile eselijaha elipheleleyo. Inkosi yamthumba kanye levimvu zakhe. Ngokubonakala ukuthi waye khaliphile njalo ethanda izifuyo, wavunyelwa wahlangana lohlangothi lweNwananzi wona engamaNdebele uqobo lwawo. Esehlangene leNzwananzi kazange abizwe ngobuHole uMnethi. Abambonayo babesithi ngomunye wabo. Sikhule sisazi ukuthi singomaFukanhobo, kanti obaba bayakwala lokhu. Leli ligama lesiShona/Khalanga lengezwa ezangelweni zethu ngugogo uMatenda. UMatenda ngowe ndlini yako Johnson. Kanti ezinye izindlu zilazo izangelo lezi na? Siyazibuza ukuthi kanti yena ugogo wayelandla anganani ukuze onelise ukuguqula izangelo zesizwe esingaka sikaMnethi kusukela koDuma kuze keyefika kuMaNdima? UMatenda ngogogo endlini encane, kanti inguquko le yamemetheka njani isuka endlini encane yaze yaya fika endlini ezinkulu? UNgundu angatshiya lo Nkengiwa ngeminyaka engu 17 kusiya ku20 years. Nxa lokhu kutsho ukuthi izangelo lezi zeza logogo, kanti pho engakendi izangelo zethu zaziminjani? Kanti khona izangelo zesizwe/umdeni zivela ngaphi? Kuqakathikile ukuthi siqedisise ukuthi nxa sikhuluma ngezibongo sikhuluma ngani. Kwabacubungula ngembali bathi izangelo ziyimbali yesizwe sinye ngasinye. Zethula okuhle, okubi, amaphutha, ukwehluleka kumbe ukunqoba kwesizwe esithile. Izangelo zikhula lesizwe. EMageza ngochago. Lesi sethula imbali thile ngathi. Bekufuyiwe lapha ekhaya abantu besidla uchago bazebegeze ngalo kanti komakhelwane abantwana zinuta ezibheja ngomlaza njengemidlwane. Izangelo zesizwe kazihlali zimi ndawonye, ziyaqhubeka kanye lesizwe. Ngokunjalo kangiboni iphutha ukuthi izangelo zethu zengezwa ngugogo uMatenda. Ezinye izindlu zingabuza ukuthi kanti ngubani kanti lo othiwa nguMatenda. Ngeqiniso bakhona abangamaziyo loba nje ongomunye wamakhosikazi kaMathukuthela. Kanti pho amandla okwengeza izangelo zethu avela ngaphi?
