All historical authorities agree that King Madzikane was of great stature, that he was light in colour, that his hair and beard were very long. It was his habit to carry his snuff spoon stuck in the hair of his chest. Earl tradition relates that when Madzikane was a boy he disappeared mysteriously. The witchdoctor told his father iNkosi Khalimeshe not to be uneasy as the boy would return. It is said that after an absence of eight months Madzikane returned saying that he had been in the forest learning the magical use of roots. He then called to his uncle Diya and two of his brothers, and they accompanied him to the place of his secret sojourn, driving with them a black ox. When they arrived at the specified spot the ox was slaughtered. Portions of the meat were then spread out for the use of the ancestral spirits and then the tribal song was sung. After this Madzikane asked the others what they would like to be doctored for. Diya suffered from a dreaded disease of being poisoned and asked to be so doctored so that poison should have no effect on him. Madzikane’s brothers asked to be so doctored as to become great fighting Chiefs. At the annual iNgcubhe or the Feast of the First Fruits was held by amaBhaca - When the Chief rushes out of his hut after being doctored, and flings an assegai towards the rising sun - the tribal song was sung in full chorus by the assembled amaBhaca army. Each individual King adopted a song composed specifically in his honour, and which is ever afterwards associated with him. In Madzikane’s song there is ever afterwards an undertone of sadness, as well as a finish, which in view of the fact that his mother was probably a white woman, might also lead one to think that it had a civilised source. Possibly it may be a sort of reflection of some melody of her childhood which the mother had been heard singing. These are the words: “An assegai thrown among the Zulus plays. Madzikane you are a young animal to the Zulus” “Eye ya how, aye ya yow yow yow” “Mngcangcane (one of Madzikane’s names) is an animal, - Ho! What shall we do with him? Hi! What shall we do with him? There is no Chief who can conquer a white King - Hi! What shall we do with him?” AmaBhaca nation was therefore founded by iNkosi Madzikane kaKhalimeshe a northern Nguni Tribal leader who ruled over AmaZelemu. He would later in very tough circumstances rise to be the undisputed King/INkosi yamaKhosi of amaBhaca, who fought and won many great wars against many powerful nations for the sake of maintaining his independence/autonomy from any other nation/tribe. He is described as a giant covered with hair, and with nails like the talons of an eagle, a fearless fighter reputed to be a hairy ogre with supernatural powers. He was one of the most successful “refugee” leaders from the Mfecane wars who succeeded in building amaBhaca as a strong nation despite the impact of the Mfecane wars that ran rampant across the Sub-Saharan regions of Africa.

It was during the Mfecane wars when King Madzikane kaKhalimeshe became the head of his own shattered tribe comprising primarily of amaZelemu and amaWushe, together with the fugitives from over forty four broken clans. He then led them southwards to occupy the following area: The land between the Drakensberg Mountains to the Indian ocean along the sources of the Mzimkhulu River to its mouth. The land between the mouths of the Mzimkhulu to the mouth of the Mtamvuna river right to its sources. The land between the sources of the uMzimvubu river to the border of (what then became) Bhacaland and Mpondoland. In today’s language the area is: uMzimkhulu, Kokstad/Mount Currie, Harding, Port Shepstone, Matatiele, Bulwer, Underberg, Ixopo, Himeville, Franklin. At his grand old age Madzikane met his death at Gqutyini Forest (near Ngcobo Town in the Eastern Cape) while at war, on the 19th December 1824, in a combined attack made by abaThembu, amaGcaleka/amaXhosa against amaBhaca nation. The Gcaleka warrior who stabbed him with a spear couldn’t kill him and therefore Madzikane gave the young man his very own doctored spear which he had carried since he was doctored as a young boy. He told the Gcaleka warrior that he should use the spear to stab him so that he can finally rest in peace. The Gcaleka/Xhosa warrior stabbed Madzikane once with the spear and Madzikane fell to the ground and died. Within no time the Gcaleka/Xhosa warrior also fell to the ground and died on the spot. At that moment there was a total eclipse of the sun. It was at this Gqutyini Forest that King Madzikane kaKhalimeshe illustrious and remarkable career as a warrior, herbalist, commander and King of AmaBhaca finally came to an end. It is said that King Madzikane refused to use his war medicine during that war because he knew that his time had finally come and he was ready to die!

I was given an account of Madzikane's death. It's said that my forebears of the Nkomo clan were part of Madzikane's army. Ngubengcakazi forces were helped by the colonial forces and the Xhosa proper and at eGqutyini the decisive battle was fought and Madzikane and his nyanga died and his armies were defeated and taken into slavery by the Thembu,Xhosa and the Colonial force. Some Nkomos followed the course of the Mthatha River into Faku's territory. Mazwi was enslaved by Thembu nobleman,Magwentshu.

Failed attempts by King Tshaka to dispossess amaBhaca of their land It was Tshaka’s custom to send spies to ascertain what cattle were possessed by the independent chiefdoms beyond his borders. These spies were always sent in pairs. They used to travel by night, resting by day on the hilltops, and taking note of everything visible on the plains below. One occasion two spies were sent to bring a report on the country surrounding what is now called Mount Currie, near Kokstad. On returning from the country of amaBhaca, the spies were, interrogated by Tshaka personally. The first man gave a glowing account of the riches of the country so far as the eye could reach; he said “the plains were covered with cattle. The king could do no better than send an impi at once to raid them”. The second one was more cautious, “we looked for over the plains and everywhere we saw animals which might have been cattle” So a Zulu army was dispatched forthwith round about 1821. The second spy was taken as a guide, the one who made an exaggerated report being ordered not to leave the Great Place. After a few weeks the expedition returned empty-handed. Its leader reported that he had carefully searched the locality indicated, but he found no cattle what so ever. But the plains were full of wild beasts, and other large game. The optimistic spy was seized by the King’s orders and his eyes, which had failed him, were burnt with a firebrand. But the cattle of the amaBhaca did indeed exist, so another army was dispatched in 1822 to “eat them up”. The Zulus took their course along the highest ground, so as to be able to overlook as much as possible of the amaBhaca country and to avoid the possibility of being ambushed. Their course led along the top of iNtsizwa Mountains. One day in early winter, it was reported to amaBhaca that this army was approaching. The war-cry was wailed forth from every hilltop, and the women with their children and the cattle, were hurried into the extremely broken country lying to the north-west of the Mandileni Basin, through which the Kinira river breaks from the foothills of the Drakensberg mountains. But in that encounter the Zulu impis of King Tshaka were defeated on the iNtsizwa Mountains by the mighty King Madzikane of amaBhaca and the Land of amaBhaca was thus protected from being taken by the Zulu nation and amaBhaca successfully resisted being subjugated to King Tshaka and his Zulu nation.

Broad Colonial Conquest The nineteenth century (1800s) and the twentieth century (1900s) were a period of several events whose socio-political and economic impact profoundly changed South Africa and the African continent. This period was typified by: Colonial conquest Rapid land dispossession of indigenous Africans As the Voortrekkers (Afrikaners) moved away from the Cape Colony to escape British rule, they fought, seized and occupied land while dispossessing Khoi, San and African communities (amaBhaca included) in the process. This opened up the interior of South Africa to further colonial conquest. The British in turn, pursued the Voortrekkers by annexing more land and at times even claiming it back from the Voortrekkers. In some instances, land dispossession was achieved by stealth through “treaties” which colonists claimed were signed by leaders of communities. The mineral revolution which exploded during the 1800s further contributed to land dispossession as the white colonial government sought to force Africans off their land to become cheap labour in the newly established mines in Kimberley and the Transvaal. During the 1850s, the Cape Governor, George Grey confiscated vast areas of land from amaBhaca and this left this great nation with no alternative for its livelihood but to start searching for work in “white” farms, thus making amaBhaca (who were once economically independent, with land and livestock) seriously dependent on whites to offer them jobs as cheap labourers in the farms as well as in the mines. In page 19 of the record of the Proceedings of the Commission that sat in Pietermaritzburg on the 03rd November 1852. This Commission had been appointed “to inquire into the Past and Present State of the Kafirs in the District of Natal”, Mr P.A.R. Otto, who was one of the proponents that land had to be taken away from the Africans, while giving evidence, he said: “I think in the time of the Volksraad the Kafirs would have removed had they been ordered to do so. I think one of the reasons for the difficulty in procuring Kafir labour is that Kafirs have just as good land in the location to till as the Farmers could give them. I think if the Kafirs removed beyond uMkomaas and uMzimkhulu Rivers were obliged to pay “Hut Tax”, that, that would induce them to send young men to labour, to earn the requisite amount. If there were a strict law I think it would be advisable that any Kafir should be allowed to leave their chiefs and remain in the District in service if they choose”. These views were further corroborated during the same hearing by a Mr Barter in Page 20 on the record, who said: “The Kafir boys are employed as cattle herds by their fathers and chiefs. I believe the Kafir chiefs employ the Kafir boys to make kraals for them. I think the Kafir boy is better off in the service of the white man because he earns money. I think the wish to have wives is a great temptation to cattle stealing, and therefore I wish to have them removed. I think I would be possible under strict law to check polygamy but it would not be possible under native law”. It was some of these submission to the Commission that gave impetus to the land dispossession of the Africans. This colonial legacy has prevailed for more than two hundred years and the subsequent generations of amaBhaca still suffer the same fate of landlessness to this day.

Their course led along the top of iNtsizwa Mountains. One day in early winter, it was reported to amaBhaca that this army was approaching. The war-cry was wailed forth from every hilltop, and the women with their children and the cattle, were hurried into the extremely broken country lying to the north-west of the Mandileni Basin, through which the Kinira river breaks from the foothills of the Drakensberg mountains. But in that encounter the Zulu impis of King Tshaka were defeated on the iNtsizwa Mountains by the mighty King Madzikane of amaBhaca and the Land of amaBhaca was thus protected from being taken by the Zulu nation and amaBhaca successfully resisted being subjugated to King Tshaka and his Zulu nation.

amaBhaca are related to the Igbo tribe of Nigeria...they must have came to South Africa during the Great Bantu expansion. That's the real origin of amaBhaca that isn't popular and you won't find in the books. Through my research I have stumbled upon that fact. I would be happy to explain further but one would have to do their own research.

That's nonsense, abantu baka Bhaca ngabantu bakwa Zulu by blood. Angenaphi ama Igbo, ngoba nje sisonke bantu sivela enkaba nezwe (Congo🇨🇩) no limi lusondelene ne East Africa kuba vese siphuma khona. Nezithakazelo zika Zelemu zifunga yena uLufulelwenja njengabo abantu bakwa Zulu. Ngabantu bakithi kwaMalandela laba, nje bafuna ukuziphatha okwadala ingxabano noShaka babona ukuthi bafuduke

this information is biased, we can not rely on it. this person is against amabhaca nation, all these stories are concocted with the aim of manipulating the reputation and dignity of King Madzikane ka Zulu. There is no army from amabhaca that had ever attacked abakhwetha in the Mpondo land, during that era, Amampondo were not practicing circumcision. Secondly, King Madzikane did not die before he occupied umhlaba wase Mout Frere. He occupied that land and died later after he had established a royal house there. And lastly, the war in the Nunge Mountains erupted when there was a quarrel between King Shaka and King Madzikane, fighting over Madzikane's cattles. Shaka called the Nunge mountains NTSIZWA( waze wayintsiwa ntaba wandibulalela amabutho ama)

All historical authorities agree that King Madzikane was of great stature, that he was light in colour, that his hair and beard were very long. It was his habit to carry his snuff spoon stuck in the hair of his chest. Earl tradition relates that when Madzikane was a boy he disappeared mysteriously. The witchdoctor told his father iNkosi Khalimeshe not to be uneasy as the boy would return. It is said that after an absence of eight months Madzikane returned saying that he had been in the forest learning the magical use of roots. He then called to his uncle Diya and two of his brothers, and they accompanied him to the place of his secret sojourn, driving with them a black ox. When they arrived at the specified spot the ox was slaughtered. Portions of the meat were then spread out for the use of the ancestral spirits and then the tribal song was sung. After this Madzikane asked the others what they would like to be doctored for. Diya suffered from a dreaded disease of being poisoned and asked to be so doctored so that poison should have no effect on him. Madzikane’s brothers asked to be so doctored as to become great fighting Chiefs. At the annual iNgcubhe or the Feast of the First Fruits was held by amaBhaca - When the Chief rushes out of his hut after being doctored, and flings an assegai towards the rising sun - the tribal song was sung in full chorus by the assembled amaBhaca army. Each individual King adopted a song composed specifically in his honour, and which is ever afterwards associated with him. In Madzikane’s song there is ever afterwards an undertone of sadness, as well as a finish, which in view of the fact that his mother was probably a white woman, might also lead one to think that it had a civilised source. Possibly it may be a sort of reflection of some melody of her childhood which the mother had been heard singing. These are the words: “An assegai thrown among the Zulus plays. Madzikane you are a young animal to the Zulus” “Eye ya how, aye ya yow yow yow” “Mngcangcane (one of Madzikane’s names) is an animal, - Ho! What shall we do with him? Hi! What shall we do with him? There is no Chief who can conquer a white King - Hi! What shall we do with him?” AmaBhaca nation was therefore founded by iNkosi Madzikane kaKhalimeshe a northern Nguni Tribal leader who ruled over AmaZelemu. He would later in very tough circumstances rise to be the undisputed King/INkosi yamaKhosi of amaBhaca, who fought and won many great wars against many powerful nations for the sake of maintaining his independence/autonomy from any other nation/tribe. He is described as a giant covered with hair, and with nails like the talons of an eagle, a fearless fighter reputed to be a hairy ogre with supernatural powers. He was one of the most successful “refugee” leaders from the Mfecane wars who succeeded in building amaBhaca as a strong nation despite the impact of the Mfecane wars that ran rampant across the Sub-Saharan regions of Africa.

Hay uyanhlanhlatha mfo ukuluma into ongayazi. I always find it very funny when a Xhosa person think it's thier duty to talk about umlando wamaBhaca. Why? AmaBhaca akahlone ngisho nokuhlobana namxhosa. So why nizihlupha? You can never hear a Bhaca person or even a Zulu person talk about umlando wamaxhosa and yet amaxhosa akhuluma kuze kome umqala ekhuluma ngento angayazi nokuyazi. Maybe nidbhidwa ilento amaBhaca ako Mount Frere efundiswa isiXhosa eskoleni and we all know how did that happen. isiXhosa is an imposed language on the Bhaca people of Mount frere because your Xhosa leaders sold out back people to the whites hence you were the first people to be educated. They are not Xhosas and abahlobanga namaXhosa futhi. And nasendulo akukaze kwabakhona ubudlelwane between amaXhosa and amaBhaca. I'm saying all this because i want to stop talking ngento ongenalo ulwazi lwayo and start talking about your own people. Khuluma ngabo hintsa and your other leaders not ngento ongahlangene nayo. You can never put Amabhaca and AmaXhosa in one sentence. Just focus kumlando wamaXhosa kphela uyeke ukuphaphalaza. Uyanhlanhlatha mawezenje!
@@sinethembankunzana156 Kumhlaba wamaxhosa? How? Explain why there's not even one Xhosa village in Mount Frere kodwa uthi uhlaba wamaxhosa? Mount Frere is close to amaMpondo and nawo they've always been a nation with a King, Faku. They are also not Xhosas. So wena imuphi lomhlaba othi owenu laphaya? How come there's not even a trace yenu there ke? Mount Frere is surrounded by AmaMpondo, AmaHlubi, which is also an independent nation by the way and Sothos and you still lie and claim ukuthi it was your land, how ndoda? Inkinga yenu nifukuzisana ngokuthi EC eyenu kuphela which is a lie, that's why you just come out there and spew a lies. EC never belonged to Xhosas only And by the way, AmaBhaca akakaze ahambe encathama, they were only expanding their territory. Umhlaba wakwa Bhaca uqala from Mount Frere to lana eMzimkhulu ugudle uye Harding up to eBulwer phakathi eKZN and even today they're still proud Bhaca people. Even the Zulu kingdom know that
