[@haonayaclaudemakgatle6593]

I had goose bumps listening to this history of Mzilikazi. i am from Botswana and I know that King Mzilikazi is no stranger in the lives of Batswana as he was a great thorn on our side but a lot our tribes had to pay tribute to him. But I was always interested to know exactly where the Khumalos came from and now i know. He is a grandson to Queen Ntombazi of the Ndwadwe. Now I want to knw when the comemoration is in Bulawayo so I can attend just to learn more.....Great work

[@FIFAMobilegoals-fs9qp]

What a brilliant episode! The conversation on King Mzilikazi with Ntate Molope was truly captivating. Ntate Molope, you are an absolute trove of historical knowledge-so eloquent and engaging in your delivery. I found myself completely immersed in the history of our people. I’ve always said that those of us from Matabeleland, Botswana, and parts of South Africa are one people, and this episode beautifully highlighted that connection. Language is indeed our strongest form of evidence. Your idea has sparked something in me-imagine creating a mini-series on the same scale as the legendary Shaka series, centered around King Mzilikazi! The potential for job creation, infrastructure development, and the rehabilitation of heritage sites is immense. And the ancillary benefits? Tourism, fashion, even cultural industries could thrive around this. What a vision! I'm already grabbing a copy of your book-it’s a must-read after this enlightening conversation. Salute, sir! And a special thank you to Bra David for your exceptional interviewing skills-you're a brilliant and engaging host, a true star! Keep up the great work!

[@tebogokekana2366]

I was recently forced by academics to write about my history, and I identified a big gap on how undocumented our history is generally. I really have appreciate what Mr Molope is doing... Especially because I have Ndebele heritage. I need to buy this book to learn.

[@TheScratchman85]

Kudos to you King David for the interview and to ntate Molope for the wonderful book. The history of Mzilikazi is the history of the transformation of the Zulu people from tribe to nation. He was one of Shaka's best warriors at the battle of Mhlathuze River when Shaka defeated Zwide after the death of Dingiswayo thereby giving birth to the Zulu nation. His prowess in that battle was the reason why Shaka gifted him with he half moon axe and gave his Khumalo people semi-autonomy and guardianship of the northern realms of Zululand. No other general of Shaka was given such accolades. After they fell out, Mzilikazi's wanderings in present day Mpumalanga, Gauteng and North West province form the beginning of the history of the full colonisation of South Africa by Europeans given the battles that he fought against the Afrikaaners and his interactions with early Christian missionaries like his best friend Robert Moffat (the writer of the 1st Tswana bible) and David Livingstone. I for one feel that this man's story is the most epic of all of Africa's great leaders given the adventure that he had, leaving KZN as a chief with a small tribe of 1000 people and arriving in present day Zimbabwe with a nation of 100 000. Shaka Ilembe should have touched on his history otherwise a whole series on him is definitely bound to be an epic hit.

[@thabodale3234]

good point. Traveling and conquering it's harder than Staying in Natal and rule the neighborhood.Shaka never moved a finger from Zululand but Mzilikazi did and final settled with a kingdom of many tribes.

[@matabelelandbroadcastingcorpor]

You asked a nice question about why Mzilikazi was challenging Shaka. Here is the explanation, when Shaka sent Mzilikazi to raid Ranisi(uSompiso), Shaka gave Mzilikazi a regiment of old and retired soldiers. Ask yourself the simple question, Why? The reason was simple King Shaka intended for Mzilikazi to die in the battle. Shaka did not want to kill Mzilikazi with his own hands due to their closeness, but the growing stature of Mzilikazi was troubling to Shaka. So Mzilikazi knew from the very moment Shaka sent him to Ranisi what his intentions about him were, that is why when he came back he only surrendered the thin cattle to Shaka. Mzilikazi knew that his relationship with Shaka had come to an end and was prepared to focus on his Khumalo clan.

[@warren14567]

That's not true as uMNTNGWA we know our History that King Mzilikaze didn't want to bow to a new young man from Zulu clan, therefore like Sochangaan and Zwangendaba they went Northwards

[@senzothabethe9346]

Not true at all. King Shaka liked Mzilikazi and would not send him on any expedition. Other indunas challenged Shaka to also send him. Shaka eventually did. This upset Mzilikazi such that he did not bring the loot to the king. Apparently Shaka understood and ignored it. The Zulu indunas urged Shaka to take action,bt he was reluctant. Eventually Shaka sent a troop. That's when all hell broke loose. Some men tipped Mzilikazi and he fled. Mzilikazi being a military genius himself was well able to defend and even convince his attackers to flee with him.

[@hillarymaseko2625]

You said it very well but Ranisi is Ranisi and Sompisi is Ndlela ka Sompisi was a general also under Shaka and Dingane.Two different people

[@trivagravia4837]

Im a descendent of a Zulu great grandmother and a Zezuru great grandfather. What l was told is Shaka and Mzilikazi had a strong brotherly love. Infact they met at Dingiswayo's kraal. Mzilikazi aligned with Dingiswayo's kraal of Mthethwa Kingdom after King Zwide murdered his father Mashobane and Shaka was sought after as they thought he was going to return and take the Zulu throne after his father's death. So they both took refuge under the Mthethwa Kingdom where they met. What happened is they created a brother connection and it is Mzilikazi's chieftancy general and the Mthethwa generals who actually helped Shaka to take back the throne in the Zulu kingdom. When Shaka became King Mzilikazi was his close political advisor and all. To cut a long story short, Shaka and Mzilikazi had to come to a brotherly agreement to part way after many disagreements on how to handle things. They realised they had created 2 centres of power between themselves. Shaka actually realised that Mzilikazi was a King on his own right and they had to peacefully agree to part ways. Thats why Mzilikazi left with lots of wealth. He ddnt run away or flee it was by Shaka's blessing. Thats why also after the death of Shaka , Dingane went after Mzilikazi to try kill him as he thought Mzilikazi may revenge the death of Shaka. By then Mzet had settled in present day Gauteng. So Shaka and Mzilikazi had some deep brotherly affection no animosity whatsoever.

Interesting history I bieng great grandson of Sibindwane with our area named after him thank you Ntate Molope

[@greenpeace7380]

Am one person who hated history, despised people who studied history at school and varsity. But i was dead wrong. That was a system problem, and i think history should be compulsory from primary to highschool. Now am crazy about history, and i regret hating it at school.

Ndebele history is always underplayed because we are the only nation that fought colonies and beat them in many battles gadade,pupu,lalaphansi and some of unrecorded while they were in collaboration with mashonaland cowards

You have started..hauna mahloni ,tribalists nonsense

[@trivagravia4837]

When we learn history we are not promoting tribal superiority. But we want to learn it to identify mistakes of the past that should not be repeated. When you raise the tribalism card like that history becomes a toxic place. We are in 2024, all these tribal tags no longer matter. Be civilised and drop your stinking tribal attitude.

I personally don't understand the cognitive dissonance that comes with complaining about white history being forced onto us... Or wanting white people to be ashamed of the murder, rape and all the horrible things that came with their colonial history but wanting everyone to celebrate these very same things when it comes to black colonizers. Why would the descendants of the people who were displaced, raped and killed by mzilikazi's army want to acknowledge you? People died, their lands were stolen and women were raped, I'm sorry that your only deduction from this is 'mashonaland cowards won't celebrate us,' but colonial horrors are not not something to be celebrated just because they wore black masks. Imagine shona people celebrating Gukurahundi every year and claiming it as part of their heritage? Imagine shona people having praise songs that prop up the engineers of that atrocity and proudly pronouncing them as their founding fathers. One day we will all start using our brains how they are meant to be used!
