An older man from the Buthelezi tribe stated that their nation does possess land, which originally belonged to their King Phungashe. According to the account, Phungashe was an incredibly intelligent ruler. However, some of his subjects began to worship Shaka and divulged all of Phungashe's military strategies to him. As a result, Shaka was able to defeat Phungashe's soldiers. Consequently, Phungashe sought refuge with his enemy, Zwide. During Phungashe's stay at the Zwide household, Shaka seized his houses/land. He also mentions that the battle between Zwide and Shaka took place at KwaGqokli, where Nyaliza, the son of Sabobo, fought alongside Shaka. He also mentions that Shaka granted land to Sabobo as a reward for his son's participation in the war. He describes how the mines in an area known as Alpha are located on Buthelezi land and extend from the Hlobane and Mtendele mountains to KwaMqongwana, which houses a prison and hospital. The old Buthelezi man still narrates that Nyaliza and Luji were very close siblings, but before the Impi yaseNcome, Nyaliza insisted that his brother Luji should not join the war as he had foreseen his death. He urged Luji to stay behind and protect the nation, homes, and children. Truly, Nyaliza perished in the war, carried away by the river. Europeans came to KwaMqongwana in 1840 following the Battle of Blood, and the territory belonging to the Buthelezi clan was seized.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMoreover, a man of Buthelezi descent residing in Emcakwini asserts that Emcakwini serves as the primary homestead in Babanango, being the place of origin for the entire Shenge community, with the initial Nguni settlers arriving in Babanango from Nkabazwe. He further mentions that additional residences consist of Emzansini, Entandweni, Impithimpithi, KwaThembitshe, and Ekwendeni. He clarifies that the ruler during that period was known as Buthelezi, and he did not hold the title of king but rather Ingonyama. He describes a conflict among Phungashe's sons, with some settling close to Vryheid at a location called KwesakaPhungashe, where the eldest son of Phungashe settled, while Mevana settled in present-day Mayville near Howick. More individuals from the Buthelezi tribe fled conflicts and eventually arrived at Msinga in emaChunwini. He also mentions that the names of the warriors from the previous kings are unknown. He recounts that Nyaliza's warriors were Ufasile, Ulujulwezintaba, Izinyosi, and Izimpohlo. He goes on to elaborate that the leaders of the Buthelezi clan held significant power. For example, at Emcakwini, there is a stream known as impembeli. Legend has it that when King Ngqwangubane arrived, there was no suitable place to bathe, so he struck a stone and water miraculously sprang forth. He also mentions that Buthelezi individuals wet the bed until they reach their teenage years and have distinctive hair in comparison to other family names. He also stresses that the Buthelezi leadership is held by MaSithole's son in Nhlangano, who was a favorite of Shaka and was even offered Mkabayi KaJama by Shaka, which he declined due to her age. He also mentions that they exclusively carry out the imbeleko ritual in terms of traditional customs, and this ritual is conducted for every child, not just the eldest. He also mentions that whenever Buthelezi people hold a ceremony, it will rain, as Buthelezi was swallowed by isimonyo.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSpeakers brought up various concerns, with Dr. 3 Seconds expressing uncertainty about the hurdles blocking the official acknowledgment of the Buthelezi chieftaincy, despite meeting all requirements and being recognized by the Zulu Royal family. The only things the clan needs are a palace given to them, the creation of the Buthelezi traditional court, and the appointment of their chief. He explains the importance of elders passing down knowledge to younger generations, noting the large expanse of land owned by the Buthelezi people and the high rates of youth unemployment. Mr. Sikholiwe Buthelezi explains that the Buthelezi nation's pain is caused by themselves due to disunity and disrespect within the clan. He explains how he made multiple attempts to consult the appropriate authorities regarding their leadership and land issues, but instead received criticism from other relatives. He asserts that the Buthelezi people are vying for roles and are unable to safeguard something significant to them. He also stated that Magistrate Mdlalose has great respect for the Buthelezi chiefdom, including its history and traditions. Nevertheless, he is currently waiting for official approval from the government to name the legitimate leader.Speakers brought up various concerns, with Dr. 3 Seconds expressing uncertainty about the hurdles blocking the official acknowledgment of the Buthelezi chieftaincy, despite meeting all requirements and being recognized by the Zulu Royal family.

It is worth mentioning that only the European side has been recorded and documented, while the identities of the Zulu warriors who lost their lives in that conflict remain a mystery to this day. Mr. Ntuthukoyabenguni Khuzwayo believes that many tribes and chiefdoms only have knowledge about their leaders, not their headmen, and emphasizes the importance of recognizing the central role izinduna played during this time. He stated that numerous headmen were executed by the colonial powers for refusing to accept Christianity, and their burial locations remain unknown. He managed to acquire death certificates, but none of the clans are aware of these headmen.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Date"]},"value":{"en":["2024-04-10"]}},{"label":{"en":["Specific Location"]},"value":{"en":["Izinyombe (Nkamangweni)"]}},{"label":{"en":["Duration "]},"value":{"en":["02:34:29"]}},{"label":{"en":["Repository"]},"value":{"en":["Audio-Visual Repository"]}},{"label":{"en":["Preferred Citation"]},"value":{"en":["\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e(Reference code) \u003c/strong\u003eKwaZulu-Natal Department Sport, Arts and Culture - KwaZulu-Natal Archives and Records Service; Oral History Unit\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Source URL"]},"value":{"en":["https://www.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/127947"]}},{"label":{"en":["Access Restrictions"]},"value":{"en":["This material is open for public access and research"]}},{"label":{"en":["Format"]},"value":{"en":["MPEG-4 (Base Media / Version 2) - extension: .mp4 - ISO/IEC 14496-14 -Video Compression Standard: HEVC (H265) - Frames: 25fps - 16:9 - 8-bit - Compression Mode: Lossy - 854x480 pixels (Public Access - Format)","AVCHD - extension: .MPT - Frame rate: 25fps - 16:9 - Compression Mode: Lossy - 1920 x 1080 pixels (Original Media - Format)","ProRes422 - extension: .MOV - Frame rate: 25fps - 16:9 - 8-bit - Compression Mode: Lossy - 1920 x 1080 pixels (Video Archive Version - Format)"]}},{"label":{"en":["Conditions governing access"]},"value":{"en":["\u003cp\u003eCollection is open for research.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Condition governing reproduction"]},"value":{"en":["COPIES FOR PRIVATE STUDY: Subject to copyright, conditions imposed by owners and protecting the documents, digital copies can be made.

He tells the story of Phungashe, a highly intelligent king who faced a challenge when some of his subjects started following Shaka, sharing military strategies that ultimately led to Shaka's victory over Phungashe's warriors. As a result, Phungashe had to seek shelter with his enemy, Zwide. During Phungashe's stay at the Zwide household, Shaka seized his houses and land. He also mentions that the conflict between Zwide and Shaka took place at KwaGqokli, where Nyaliza, Sabobo's son, fought for Shaka. He also mentions that Sabobo received land from Shaka because his son took part in the war. In his explanation of the borders, he describes how the mines in Alpha territory are situated on Buthelezi land, extending from Hlobane and Mtendele mountains to KwaMqongwana, where a prison and hospital are located. The elderly man Buthelezi continued to recount that Nyaliza and Luji were very close siblings. However, before the battle of Impi yaseNcome, Nyaliza advised Luji not to join the war as he had already witnessed the dangers of it and believed his brother would not survive. Instead, he urged Luji to stay behind and protect their nation, homes, and children. Truly, Nyaliza perished in the conflict, carried away by the river. Europeans arrived at Kwa KwaMqongwana in 1840 following the battle of Blood, resulting in the appropriation of the Buthelezi clan's land by Europeans.

He clarifies that the ruler during that era was known as Buthelezi, and he was not referred to as a king but rather as Ingonyama. He describes a disagreement among Phungashe's sons, with some fleeing to Vryheid near a location known as KwesakaPhungashe where the eldest son settled, while Mevana settled in what is now Merrivale. Additional Buthelezi individuals fled conflict until they eventually arrived at Msinga in emaChunwini.

He also elaborates that the Buthelezi clan leaders held significant power, such as at Emcakwini where there is a stream named impembeli. Legend has it that when King Ngqwangubane arrived, there was no bathing spot, so he broke open a stone and water flowed out. He also mentions that Buthelezi individuals wet the bed until they are teenagers and have distinct hair from other last names. He stresses that the Buthelezi chieftaincy is owned by MaSithole's son in Nhlangano, who was given rewards by Shaka, including Mkabayi KaJama, which he declined due to her age. He also mentions that they only carry out imbeleko as a traditional practice, and this ritual is conducted for all children, not just the eldest. He explains that whenever Buthelezi people hold a ceremony, rainfall occurs due to the belief that Buthelezi was consumed by isimonyo samanzi.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/127947/file/239709#t=3187.0,5446.0"},{"id":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/127947/file/239709/index/85494/annotation/13","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Origins of the Buthelezi Clan","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Buthelezi lineage","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Phungashe","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Shaka","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Traditional practices","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}}],"target":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/127947/file/239709#t=3187.0,5446.0"},{"id":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/127947/file/239709/index/85494/annotation/14","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Dr. 3 Seconds","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/127947/file/239709#t=5447.0,5920.0"},{"id":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/127947/file/239709/index/85494/annotation/15","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Dr. 3 Seconds stated that he is unsure of the obstacles preventing the official recognition of the Buthelezi chieftaincy, despite meeting all the necessary criteria and being acknowledged by the Zulu Royal household.
