History on Mzilikazi

[Mntongenakudla]

muXimus

Your contention that uShaka, (iLemb’ eleq’ amany’ amalembe ngokukhalipha, umhlobo wam’ omkhulu!) was a dumb ass is, at best pedestrian and at worst – paraplegic/permanently incapacitated!

Nonetheless, I forgive you, for you’re clearly as ignorant as you’re innocent of the authentic Zulu nation history. It’s dreadfully sad to see you use your ignorance as inspiration to bleat and moo claptrap about okaMageba, the peerless Zulu nation builder.

I will take my time to whisper to you, in the hope that it reaches your ear as a shout that: uMzilikazi (uNqabayembube, uDonda weziziba!) no Shaka (isidlukuladlwedlwe, uhlany’ olusemehlwen’ amadoda, umlilo wothathe kaMjokwane!) rank simultaneously and highly as the foremost Zulu warriors and nation builders of all time. A close scrutiny of great Zulu historians’ works will vindicate these two descendants of Phunga and Mageba and correctly project them as peerless leaders who laid the foundation of Zulu pride and nationalism. UShaka noMzilikazi demonstrated that there is strength in unity when they strategically formed an entente to defeat the much larger, more powerful and feared impi kaZwide kaLanga, leading to the consolidation of the many Zulu chiefdoms into this mighty Zulu nation that we continue to pride ourselves as part of! Shaka is revered as the first iSilo samabandla onke (King of Kings), starting the lineage of iZilo zamabandla onke, successively, right up to the current His Royal Majesty, uGoodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu Mageba. These are the marks of Shaka's influence into the future, and his name will never be used in vain amongst all Zulu sons and daughters.

If you read ‘Uphoko’, an authentic Zulu history account by Sipho Regie ka Isiah Khumalo (uMntungwa kaMbulazi, uMzilikazi kaMashobane!), you will learn more and appreciate the truth about these two great Zulu warriors and nation builders. This your hogwash about token gifts of mirrors and such is the all too common, discredited, racist white propaganda meant to instill a sense of self-hate amongst thina beLembe. The white racist pseudo historians are notorious for their stupid agenda of portraying uShaka as a gullible and credulous savage. It goes without saying that abeLungu tried by all means to sustain that evil apartheid system by painting uShaka as isidlamlilo ( a dragon), as to decimate the Zulu nostalgic inspiration emanating from the Shaka heroic era! Their efforts failed as we the true sons of Phunga and Mageba could not and cannot afford self-hate. We garnered the spirit of Shaka and Mzilikazi, and rallied to the call of the past Zulu warrior spirit in us to defeat that evil apartheid system. UBhambada kaMancinza (uZondi uqobo lwakhe) falls in the same category of the descendants of Mageba that stole a leaf from the heroic legend of Shaka and Mzilikazi. Bhambada kaMancinza was inspired by uShaka and Mzilikazi's warrior spirit when he rallied his kinsmen to resist the unfair khandampondo (poll tax) in 1906. He became a martyr - a legend. That spirit of Zulu heroism was to pass on to the successive generations of Langalibalele Dube (ANC founder), Chief Albert Luthuli, Jacob Zuma (uMsholozi, uGadleyihlekisa kaSomahhashi) and all of the Amaqabane. The rest is history. Ten years now - soon to be eleven, we pronounce that we are permanently rid of white false supremacy!

Now is the time for us to re-orient the world’s thinking, and teach them right. I call upon the poets, great Zulu minds of literature and history to rally the inspiration and commit to paper, distribute far and wide, the authentic history of our great Zulu nation. Let the true Zulu history be broadcast the whole world through – as to shame those who are hell-bent on despising uShaka kaPhunga no Mageba and misleading the unknowing!

Mfowethu, 'Uphoko Volume 1' luthande ukuntuleka kuma-book shops lapha KwelikaMthaniya. Nami ngiye ngalufuna, ngangaluthola kwa-Adams bookshop (West Street eThekwini)ngenyanga kaMasingana nyakenye. Ngiye ngababaza impela lapho umdayisi wezincwadi ethi izintothololo zivele zilushaqe luphele kuma-bookshops ngezimali zazo zempesheni! Namanje angikaze ngize ngiluthole.

Kepha ngiye ngaluthenga ngo-2003 kwa-Shuter & Shooter eMgungundlovu. Wena ke uyakwazi ukubathinta kwi e-mail, ukuze bakwenzele i-purchase order. Bese uyakhokha via internet, bayipose incwadi yakho.

Uyakwazi futhi ukucela amalunga omndeni wakho ngalapha, bakubhekele laphaya e-Adam Griggs, noma e-Adams bookshop (West Street, eThekwini). Ngingagcizelela, ngisho ngithi lencwadi ibukeka iyi-top seller. Yingakho kuthande ukuba lukhunyana ukuyithola kuma-bookshops. Sekusho kona ukuthi umuntu athi persist, on a continuous basis, with enquiries as to i-availability yayo.

Nxese ngokuphuza ukuphendula.

Tshela mina: uke wezwa ngohlelo lukaMashobane obelubizwa, 'izaqheqhe'? Belusakazwa bukhoma ngawo wonke amasonto, ngoLwesine, ebusuku, emsakazweni uKhozi FM. Wethu, uMntungwa ebephethe izaqheqhe zomlando wangempela. Ngeshwa loluhlelo lwaphela ngokuthatha kwakhe umhlalaphansi ngo-2003. Namanje I terribly miss that programme mfowethu. Awuboni ke laphayana ubukwazi ukuthola ulwazi olunzulu ngemvelaphi yakho 9 9!

Coming back to your question. Eish Mthiyane, kunzima ngempela ukuthi ngisho i-alternative ncwadi - yize ziningi zona. Nami ngiye ngagcina ngalo Uphoko lolu. UMashobane (Regie Sipho Khumalo) uye waveza uhlu lwezincwadi azisebenzisile ekulobeni kwakhe Uphoko.

Kubonakala sengathithi i-Adams ayikakabi nayo i-website. Sekuphoqela kona ukuthi mhlasimbe ufune inombolo yocingo lwabo, ubathinte bukhoma.

Ngingasho futhi ngithi mina: u-Shuter & Shooter is the best bet. Iya kwi-website yabo lena: http://www.shuter.co.za
Bheka kwi-African languages catalogue. Uzobona izikhangiso zabo kunye nentengo yezincwadi abazidayisayo. Ngenhlanhla enkulu, Uphoko nalo lu listed lapho. Kukhona nezinye izincwadi ezifana njenga lezi:
UCetshwayo kaSenzangakhona
UDinizulu
Ulaka lwabaNguni
Mageba lazihlonza (uMashobane listed it as one of his sources)
Kuyosala izibongo
Izingwazi zaseAfrika
etc etc

Gatsheni, nsizwa yamabutho, uma ngabe uthola ukufunda loluhlu lwezincwadi, woba yincwasimende, usolwazi wangempela ngomlando waKwaZulu.

Awuboni ke nami ngizoyenza i-online order yami - angizukuphuthelwa!

Nangomuso.

Hheshe!
