Mkhaliphi Khumalo

@MthakaNcube91 @tshongogwe81 @RealMzalaTom No you are not originally nguni. Yes you were assimilated into nguni over 300 years ago and hence the affinity for nguni. Buza abadala or a proper historian.

@OwethuWeek @tshongogwe81 @RealMzalaTom That is not true Chief. Get your facts straight . We are the Ngunis.

1. THE KHUMALO CLAN 🇿🇦🇿🇼 A thread ... 🧵 The Khumalo people were a clan of the Ntungwa-Nguni whose common ancestor was Mntungwa. The clan’s name Khumalo is literally derived from the verb khuma, which means ‘to chew dry food’. When combined with a demonstrative pronoun lo- lokhu - (this), the clan’s name Khumalo (chew this dry food) is produced.

@MthakaNcube91 @tshongogwe81 @RealMzalaTom Ncubes from KZN are not originally nguni but are sotho. They speak isiZulu today due to conquest that happened over 300 years ago.

@tshongogwe81 @RealMzalaTom Uyanya, if a Ncube in KZN is a Nguni then how can a Ncube in Zim be not a Nguni.?

@Mditshwer @Musa_Khawula Serious downgrade there. umaKhumalo was much better than this thing.

@Musa_Khawula That Zimbabwean girl was better than this, He just downgraded.

Meet Nota Baloyi's new high calorie girlfriend Lindokuhle Hughes.

@itsbrandonfl @obertdube_poet Stop habouring dirty thoughts. As per nguni protocol-kingship will always remain a Khumalo affair. We are not a confused nation.

@obertdube_poet This one should be king not that other guy

Chief Dakamela is the first & the last person from Mat' Land after Joshua Nkomo to unite Mat'Land people. The first traditional leader in Zim to organise such a powerful event. The youngest powerful leader in Africa. The first traditional leader on earth to award excellency

@Zikode_ka_Gasa @Realbeefactor If he removes that beard, he actually looks like someone in his early 30s. His height makes him have a very commanding presence.

@OwethuWeek @Realbeefactor Football years😂

@StHonorable @TrevorNcube He is not a king but a mere influential chief.

@TrevorNcube He's more of an influencer than a Chief, his dressing code is off. Elders should teach him how to wear otherwise he'll distort the sacred culture. Even the way he wears his crown is off.

Chief Dakamela of Nkayi District just received a virgin wife as a gift at the Imiklomelo kaDakamela cultural festival — a tradition that reminds us how deep and alive our culture remains. This young chief is doing extraordinary things in Nkayi. I had the privilege of sitting down with him on @ConvoWithTrevor . If you haven’t watched that episode, now is the time. Watch it here: youtu.be/qI9wnaGf6u8 #InConversationWithTrevor #ICWT #ChiefDakamela #Nkayi #ImiklomelokaDakamela #Culture #Zimbabwe

@Zikode_ka_Gasa @Realbeefactor He not madala. He is about 33/34 yrs old if I am not mistaken.

@Realbeefactor So this madala was not yet married?

@BusisiweMs10815 @NewsHawksLive What majority-us of nguni bloodline, we don't take kindly to be referred to as amZulu. We don't hate amaZulu but sacrifices made by forefathers in KZN, Mpumalanga, Freestate, Transvaal, North-West and Zim in establishing an independent kingdom from Shaka is something we cherish

@OwethuWeek @NewsHawksLive I traveled most of Bulawayo doing this research. I can tell you don't represent majority

𝐙𝐮𝐥𝐮, 𝐍𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐑𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: 𝐄𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐤𝐚, 𝐌𝐳𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐚𝐳𝐢 Meetings between Zulu King MisuZulu kaZwelithini and ceremonial Ndebele King Bulelani Lobengula Khumalo - a legitimate descendant of founding Ndebele King Mzilikazi - has been widely described as a major historic event; part of a broader rapproachement between the Zulu and Ndebele nations, which share historical and ancestral ties. The meetings symbolise a reunion between Zulu King Shaka and Ndebele nation founder King Mzilikazi, two historical military greats of the region during the early 19th century. Shaka and Mzilikazi, who were friends and worked together to lay the foundation of the Zulu Kingdom, had a major historic split in 1822 at the height of Mfecane; times of trouble, a regional conflict which triggered massive migration from present-day South Africa all the way to Tanzania. For years, there had been attempts to heal the historical split and the wound associated with Shaka and Mzilikazi’s consequential clash. Shaka was the son of Zulu Chief Senzangakhona, while Mzilikazi was a progeny of a Khumalo clan Chief Mashobane in Zululand. Mzilikazi helped Shaka build the Zulu Kingdom during its nascent stages before he left in a historic breakaway after disagreements over the spoils of Zulu military raids into neighbouring states, mostly the Sotho nation - cattle. Whenever Zulu elders meet their Ndebele brethren, they always ask jokingly: "Ziphi inkomo zenkosi?" (where is the King's cattle). Mzilikazi, a top Zulu chief and military commander of the time, left after refusing to surrender to Shaka the cattle he had raided. Their subsequent split was rather acrimonious, although the two did not fight directly. Mzilikazi fought battles and ruled parts of the Transvaal before he was further pushed north into Botswana and Zambia, then Zimbabwe. His other group crossed directly from South Africa into Zimbabwe. MisuZulu is the son of the late King Zwelithini, a descendant of Shaka's brothers through the bloodline of King Cetshwayo, King Mpande and King Dingane. Dingane and Mpande were Shaka's half-brothers, Senzangakhona's sons from different mothers. Bulelani is recognised by the mainstream Khumalo house as the legitimate heir to the Ndebele nation, which was overthrown by Cecil John Rhodes' colonial forces during the Anglo-Ndebele War in in 1893. His history is a bit complex due to historical twists and turns across Zimbabwe and South Africa. Bulelani is a South African citizen. He was born and bred in Grahamstown (Makhanda) in the Eastern Cape where there is a Lobengula museum, although his descendants, specifically Njube, son of Lobengula, were taken from Zimbabwe to there by Rhodes in a bid to dismantle the Ndebele Kingdom, the last bulwark to colonial invasion. Bulelani is a great-great-grandson of Lobengula, descending through Njube. Originally, Bulelani's roots by ancestry are in present-day KwaZulu-Natal as his descendants came to Zimbabwe from there with their famous leader Mzilikazi. They were then sent back to South Africa by colonial authorities. Although his role is currently not recognised by the Zimbabwean government as a ceremonial king, Ndebeles have widely embraced him as their cultural leader. There have been pretenders to the throne who include Peter Zwide KaLanga Khumalo and Stanley Raphael Tshuma who claims to be a Khumalo, calling himself King Mzilikazi II. In September every year, the Ndebele nation commemorates Mzilikazi Day to mark his death in 1868. The cultural event attracts huge crowds, bringing together the Ndebele nation and related bigger Nguni groups in South Africa, Zambia, Malawi and Tanzania. Mozambique is being lobbied to send its delegations from the Shangani people, who are also Nguni descendants from the Zulus. Shanganis - not Ndau or Tsonga - are of Nguni descent. 🔴Caption: Zulu King MisuZulu in brown and Ndebele King Bulelani in black and white.

@BusisiweMs10815 @NewsHawksLive I am Khumalo from Zimbabwe. I understand the connections there including omMkhatshwa. In future, please do not refer to us as amaZulu. We don't like to be labeled as amaZulu. Inkosi uMzilikazi fought a lot of distinguished battles in South Africa and Zimbabwe to earn his title.

@OwethuWeek @NewsHawksLive Not at all. People genuinely never knew of the connection until recently. Ground research also helps

@BusisiweMs10815 @NewsHawksLive The confusion comes in when someone is Mabasa instead of Mabaso.

@OwethuWeek @NewsHawksLive As I said, they were warned not so long ago. Ngiyinzalo yakhona

@BusisiweMs10815 @NewsHawksLive Ayikho iconfusion la. Khumalo & Mabaso are brothers koMtungwa

@OwethuWeek @NewsHawksLive Is that why the Khumalo's were marrying Mabaso's until they were warned a few years ago? Confusion yodwa

@jamela_ishmael @KG_ZA2025 @jqmayisa @RealMzalaTom Nice one, my great grandfather was born in 1868 and died in 1958. He was buried at eNumber six cemetery. His tombstone laid in 1959 states he served in King Lobengula army. My grandfather was born in 1907. It is very young history.

@KG_ZA2025 @jqmayisa @RealMzalaTom @MimiReeds Our history is not that very old, my own grandfather was born in 1928 his grandfather was part of the last of Ndebele warriors who faugh the actual battles even though it's all history you have to know a lot about what happened to claim DNA will solve the mathe

Something culturally significant happened today. Zulu King, Misizulu met with King Bulelani of the Matebele nation of King Mzilikazi. 200 years after King Shaka & Mzilikazi parted ways in war, the 2 nations have founded each other again. Africa mayibuye! @RealMzalaTom @MimiReeds

@KG_ZA2025 @jqmayisa @RealMzalaTom What imposter. If you a proper nguni in Zimbabwe you should know your line of forefathers. And family gathering cement this info of your forefathers.

@jqmayisa @RealMzalaTom @MimiReeds I can’t help but wonder if this Bulelani guy is not an imposter. How did they arrive at the conclusion that he is indeed of the Royal house?

@BusisiweMs10815 @NewsHawksLive Respectfully we are not Zulus and we never accepted to absorbed into uShaka grand schemes, however we are one of the many clans found in KZN.

@NewsHawksLive Ignorant people disagree when I tell them that Ndebele people from Zimbabwe are Zulu

@ThandoZ27 @NewsHawksLive Let me add more pain to you. The current ndebele king, uBulelani Khumalo is a native 4 generation South African plus at least 30% Zim ndebeles have a legitimate SA ID. Thanks to uGatsha and noNxamalala.

@NewsHawksLive This meeting changes nothing. We have our own SA Ndebele people right here in Mpumalanga. Zimbabwean Ndebeles are not welcome in SA , they remain ama kwerkwer — stay in your country

At least 204 years since their ancestors, King Shaka and King Mzilikazi, who helped each other build the Zulu Kingdom in South Africa last met as they split over power, influence and spoils of military raids, current Zulu King MisuZulu KaZwelithini (right) and King Bulelani KaLobengula Khumalo (left) of the Ndebele (Zimbabwe - not South Africa) have now finally restored their ancestral, cultural, warm, friendly, and harmonious relations to preserve their heritage and establish modern ties for mutual cooperation in different spheres of life. MisuZulu is a descendant of the line of Shaka's half-brothers which includes Kings Dingane, Mpande, Cetshwayo, Zwelithini and others. Bulelani is a descendant of King Lobengula and his father Mzilikazi KaMashobane.

@Junior97764316 @Joe__Bassey Go and read SA history(govt website) or visit the voortrekker monument. Mzilikazi is recorded as the last king that solidly fought the voortrekkers. Even today some Afrikaaners remind us, zim ndebeles that they beat our forefathers and pushed them to Zim in order to take the land

@Joe__Bassey False narrative Mzilikazi was not a transvaal King 🤣🤣🤣Shonas are not from Zimbabwe 🤣🤣🤣

Brian Kagoro is challenging the way South Africans think about Zimbabwean migrants and immigration. He argues that the issue is often misunderstood and shaped by deeper historical, economic, and political forces.

@SouthElections @UnathiAfrika @PaulMzilankatha @NNyashaYessur Still in the ground fool. You should go and dig them up.

@UnathiAfrika @PaulMzilankatha @NNyashaYessur What have the two countries done with the resources the have?

Why can't SADC countries come together and build an Oil Refinery Plant in Angola and build pipe lines that service all these countries instead of spending millions of dollars buying fuel in the Middle East What stops Africans from doing this?.

@ThaboTitus74 @TshepoUnplugged @Patriot_S_A Yes, he was not respecting management and was kicked out of SABC. Great guy though and pretty much looked like a South African.

@OwethuWeek @TshepoUnplugged @Patriot_S_A Big headed you say!!!🤭😂😂

Tichafa Augustine Matambanadzo, famously known as Tich Mataz, was deported back to Zimbabwe after law enforcement found out he is illegal foreigner and was using fraudulent documents to be in South Africa

@ThaboTitus74 @TshepoUnplugged @Patriot_S_A Ian Sigola was a great guy though. He just became big headed.

@TshepoUnplugged @Patriot_S_A Ian Sigola as well from radio Metro then.

@NgwaziSk @marc_maison87 @MusaMzilikazi Eiish, what did you write wena? Accept who??

@marc_maison87 @MusaMzilikazi Nope we stare similar values with Sothos,Swaziland, Namibia, and Botswana. Accept Zimbabweans, Mozambicans, Somalians, Nigerians ,Pakistanis and Malawians

We only have 60% of the ladies who can proudly say this in SA The other 40% izifebe zama Somalians and Zimbabweans Imagine udliwa ikwere kwere uyintombi yakwenu 🚮🚮🚮🚮
