iTyala aliboli alingo Mafutha
Ngo nyaka ka 1927 kweyo Mqungu, saphuma isigidimi komkhulu eNqadu simema lonke ibhunga (iinkosi nezi bonda) kwii nqila zonke zelase maXhoseni. iKumkani eyayibize eli bhunga ngu Mhlekazi u Mpisekhaya ahh!! Ngangomhlaba, ka Salakuphatha ahh Gwebinkumbi, ka Sigcawu ahh Nonqane, ka Sarhili ahh Ntaba, ka Hintsa ahh Zanzolo. Eneneni ke zagaleleka izijorha zamadoda ahloniphekileyo ngosuku olwalubekiwe, kukhwelwe iinkabi zamaHashe; bambi bebetha ngezika Tshiwo, qela naqela elingenayo likhahlele uKumkani, likhulule iisali nemikhala, lihlale ngokwendawo zalo; ithe iqina imini yabe inkundla ithe thantalala.
Amadoda ebuzan' impilo, amanye ecebisana ngeengcambu emazidityaniswe ukulwa imikhuhlane, namayeza wee mfuyo. Namaqhula namayolisa engayekanga nawo. Kweso sithuba kanye, kuphakame u Bambaniso into ka Khalipha yase Mangwevini esi sithethi sakomkhulu yenjenje:
"inzwi mawethu, Mabandla ka Phalo ndicel indlebe" Kwathi cwaka, waqhubeka: "andizi kuba mde mawethu, bendingubani na kambe mna ukuba ndingama phambi ko Xhosa wonke. iNkosi ithi mandicele umzi uzole ifuna ukuthetha" Watsho ekhahlela; yaduma yonke inkundla "ahh Ngangomhlaba" wathi gwiqi wehla. Yavel' iKumkani, u Mpisekhaya umfo ka Gwebinkumbi ka Sigcawu ka Sarhili ka Hintsa:
"uDolo limdaka, uMthathi olushica ongangeni neZembe; isilo esifukama kumanzi we Nqadu, kwawe Nciba siya ngokusela" itsho imbongi xa imbongayo. Wathetha wathi:
"Mabandla ka Phalo ka Tshiwo, izithethi besele ziwenzile umbulelo ngokusabela kwenu ikhwelo; Mna andizi kujikeleza, iXesha liphangwe yiNja; ndizakuya ngqo kulendawo ifele ithole... Apha size kuxoxa iTyala, tyala elo elenziwa yi Ntshinga ngexesha kusaphethe u Sarhili ngo 1838..."
Kumfundi ongena nakani ngobuKhosi buka Xhosa; benziwa yi Ntshinga ne Qawuka. iNtshinga liqela leziduko lamadoda anegazi lasebukhosini - amaTshawe, amaZizi, amaTshezi namaGqunukhwebe... eliqela liphethwe ngama Giqwa, ngawo enza izigqibo zalo; kumaXesha emfazwe nawo Xolo.
iMiba equka kuwo, ukwaluka kwamakhwenkwe, ukuxoxa ukuba imfazwe iliwe njani, nokuqokelela iLobola yeKumkani, yimiba ibiluxanduva lwe Ntshinga. iQawuka liqela lamadoda aneziduko ezingena gazi labukhosi; lona likhokelwa ngama Ngwevu. Uxanduva lwabo kukujongana ne mfuyo nezo Limo.
Yaqhubeka iKumkani ibeka iNtshinga ityala isithi: "1. iNtshinga yantyontyela uSarhili ukuba ahlasele abaThembu, wabe engenamava ngeMfazwe. 2. Ngesi Yhikili sika nongqawuse yakhuthaza uSarhili ukuba kubulawe iinkomo. 3. IiNtshinga yathi iiBhokhwe mazityiwe kuba ngamaQhashu."
4. iNtshinga yaqala imfazwe kwa Ngcayechibi, yaze inkosi ephantsi kwe Ntshinga u Maphasa ka Bhurhu wazisindisa ngokukreqela kubelungu akubona ukuba umthwalo ungaphezulu kwamandla wakhe, washiya isizwe sisengxakini sodwa"
Yaqhubeka iKumkani yathi
"Nantsoke sizwe sakowethu, yeyenu ukuba niyishukuxe, niyivele nkalo zonke, niyetyise, nakugqiba nize nesigqibo senu kum ndisive; Ndisatshaya" watsho esimelela ngo Totse uMnkabane. "Litsho Sizwe..." watsho uMnkabane "Jika nalo" yatsho inkundla.
Waphinda waphakama uMnkabane wathi
"Mhlekazi, iNkundla ibicela ukukhe ibhunge bucala" Waphendula uMhlekazi "Ndivile Majeke, thathani iXesha lenu" Awa evuka amadoda kuxoxwa; iiNtonga zomlomo zinqoza, kucikozwa, kutshila awona maciko mabi enkundleni de kwafikelelwa esiGqibeni.
Kuthe emva kweYure ezithile, wavakala eyikhwaza inkundla uBambaniso yeh cwaka, uthethe wathi; "Ke kambe zidla zigoduka mabandla ka Phalo, nibizwe ngokuthenjwa ekhaya'pha. Umcimbi onje noko ungelula, kodwa awungebi yiNkohla kwii Ngqondi zasekhay'apha... iKomkhulu licela isigwebo"
kwesi sithuba kubonakele u Xhoseni, u Mcirha ehlebezela iKumkani isigqibo senkundla, sele emane ukunqwala uKumkani kucaca ukuba ukholisekile. Wandula uXhoseni wabhekisa ku Kumkani ekhwaza wathi "iQonga lelakho Tshawe; Yhanga izicaka zakho zingathobel' ubunganga bezwi lakho"
Yaphakama iKumkani yathi "Ukususela namhlanje, imiba ebikade ijonge iNtshinga ndiyinikela kwi Qawuka. Ukutsho oko, intshinga ndiyibekela ngezantsi ngenxa yezizathu ebesele ndizi khankayile... Molose, mfo ka Rhuneyi, Mngwevu; umzi waseMaxhoseni nanko ezandleni zakho"
Kuthe kwakwenziwa esi saziso; Laphakama iQawuka nge Ngoma, la ndyondya igwijo, intsholo yamakhwelo kutyityinjwa. Ngalo lonke elixesha iNtshinga ikhedamile, ayinanto inakuyivuyela. Basuka kanjalo ubunganga kwi Ntshinga ka Khwaza (Giqwa), banikwa iQawuka lika Rhuneyi (Ngwevu) .
Enkosi Tshawe, ndiyayi thanda le blog yakho. Ndifunda lukhulu kuyo
