I do not understand Sindebele, so I do not grasp what Pathisa is saying here. But I have listened to his historical accounts in English language, and I am also aware that he has written several books on history and culture. He is passionate in his work and has generated and preserved valuable knowledge. I also agree that he deserves and honorary doctorate from Zimbabwean University-but alas, I know those tend to be given more for political considerations and perceptions that genuine merit.

It would be a good idea to put subtitles in Ndebele and in other languages so that Ndebele history becomes more attention. It is a valuable heritage to share with other human beings and it will create more understanding of the culture and mindset of Ndebele people. Of course, thia task is only for Ndebele people because you are the protectors and the ones that impart your own history, culture and tradition.

Beautiful! He knows his story, his history and heritage. I thought the Bulawayo name was taken from the Zulu Kingdom as Mzilikazi, we Zulu people, know him to have been one on King Shaka's palamentarians. And the Kingdom was situated in Bulawayo. So my question is, did the Ndebele people fight and war when they got to the current settlement? Another question, why does it seem like the Mpumalanga Ndebele's are completely different and unrelated to you. The language is different, and there's no mention of them in your history. But, this is very interesting I must say.

[@israelshabangu7583]

Whites were the ones who named them Matabele and later known as Ndebele but most Ndebele trace their history from kzn. According to accounts while mzilikazi was running away from impisi zika Shaka ka Senzangakhona he went kidnapping Ndebeles from Mpumalanga, Swatis, Tswanas etc. Just do research.

Bab'Mchunu you are correct that uMzilikazi wasuka eKZN and assimilated other tribes on his way to the present day location in Zimbabwe but can I correct you on the Phiris and Bandas, they are from Malawi. Mzilikazi's people were tagged with the name Ndebele after their short sojourn with the Mpumalanga Ndebele where Mzilikazi moved from the present day Pretoria after killing the then Ndebele King Sibindi and "kidnapping" a substantial number of people and moved northwards to present day Zimbabwe.
