people used are the well-known nicknames not their birth names. Sometimespeoples are
known by four different names. Some when reciting their family tree theyinclude even the
brothers of their
forefather’s
names. Some families they have the samenames with others
, as someone’s
surname is the same name of someone’s
grandfather.The Above Family is one of the big five families of Mabulandlela / Mhlahlandlela
Tsongaincluding their big five family Altar representing African big five animals. The big
fivefamilies were known as Kingdom before they met with the traditional first born tribewhich
is Langeni Kingdom ,the big five families consist of Langeni Kingdom ,HlaveKingdom ,Mthethwa
Kingdom, Hlengwe Kingdom and Xixangaxile Kingdom. TheLangeni Kingdom is divided into two
parts which is the Kingdom leader and the familyleader. The traditional first born tribe of Africa
meant to erect the African Altar which wasdisturbed by colonisation during the scramble of
Africa. The total leadership is equals tothirteen, one traditional first born leader plus five family
Leaders, plus five Altar familyleaders plus two carrying Angelica tree , then all twelve families
became the Paramount
Chiefs not Kingdom only one King of Langeni Kingdom, Paramount Chiefs and FamilyChiefs
under all Tribal Authorities which has been fallen the year 1914 because
ofColonisation.Mabulandlela also known as Mhlahlandlela Tsonga Kingdom was fallen the year
1914after land Act of 1913.From 1914 no one were allowed to mention the King or to recitehis
family tree because of the witches. Witches were referred to Colonials, for anexample about
Dingane Zulu when killing the Colonials at UMgungundlovu during thenaming of Blood River;
he said “bulalani boke a ba thakathi” means kill all the
witchesthat was the African way to call white people.
To date families doesn’t know or tells their
family tree because of witches using wrong explanation which is superstation. The bigfive
families include their Altar families representing African big five animals are asfollows: (Ndlovu
family
Elephant animal, Hluvi tribe ,under Langeni Family of Hluvitribe, Nghonyama Family
Lion animal ,Nguni tribe of Zulu ka Malandhela underLangeni Family of Hluvi tribe, Ngomani

Lobwi Family
Rhino animal ofKalanga Nation unknown tribe under Hlengwe Family, Novela Mtileni family
Buffaloanimal ,Hlave family of Hluvi tribe under Hlave family same tribe) some of the
Altarfamilies come from different tribe. The tribe which was carrying African Angelica treewas
Xixangaxile and their carrier by Mhelembe Family.For more information download the African
Genealogy (Mhlahlandlela Kingdom)document below. The document shows the leaders of the
families and the names of the Altar leaders, information about where they are coming from.
From Mozambique fromKZN Langeni Kingdom from Central Africa Hluvi Kingdom ,from Central
Africa KongoKingdom from Northern Africa Tuareng Kingdom ,from Northern Africa Berber
Kingdom,from Northern Africa Semitic Kingdom from Israel the house of Simeone the
secondborn son of Jacob (Simeone was cursed and Judah was blessed) Judah was the
greatgrandfather of Jesus Christ.The sub names with their praises have been collected with the
assistance of the grantsfrom the Research Grand Board given by the respective Chiefs during
1938, 1958,1971, 1982 and 1992 also written by AA Jacques at Swivongo Swa Vatsonga.To
ensure that people were not allowed to mention the Tsonga King, at the AA Jacquesbook there
is no Bila Mlangeni, Magoda Manganyi as Mavambe was the Home of African Altar and
Mavunda Hlave recitation, as Mavunda was the first born of Hlave.Hlave also was a Head Chief
under King Mhlahlandlela Langeni. The full informationdownloads the 97 pages document.
The document doesn’t have stories only have the
fact as there is no Nation without the King and History. Tsonga of Mabulandlela is thecore of
Africa and Mavambe the home of African Altar.Twenty Points of Corrections
The leader of Mabulandlela Tsonga of Gwambe Na Dzavani King wasMhlahlandlela 8
Makutsule of Xidyela Hehla of Mlangeni of Ndwandwe ofManukunuku of Bileni of Mashiye of
Juwah of Lala of Hluvi of Kongo.
The King of Gaza people of Nghunghunyani sons of Mzila and Mawewe Kingwere
Nghunghunyani of Mzila of Manukosi Soshangana of Zikode of Gaza ofNxumalo of Juwah of
Lala of Hluvi of Kongo it means, Mashiye and Nxumalowere brothers, meaning Mashiye and
Nxumalo were brothers.
King of Langeni at KZN was Ndwandwe of Manukunuku of Bileni of Juwah ofLala of Hluvi of
Kongo.
Head Chief of Langeni at KZN was Zwide of Langa of Xaba of Nxumalo of Juwahof Lala of Hluvi
of Kongo.
Nandi the mother of Shaka Zulu was the daughter of Mbhembhe of Xaba ofNxumalo of Juwah
of Lala of Hluvi of Kongo, meaning Xaba and Gaza wasNxumalo brothers, meaning Mbhembhe
and Langa was Xaba brothers ofNxumalo whereby Nxumalo and Mashiye were son of Juwah.
The Langeni brothers were not Nguni was Hluvi but speaking Nguni. NdwandweGwambe
Langeni the husband of Nyakwave Nwa-Bangwani Dzavani ChaukeHlengwe, at Mozambique
had nine Children whereby his traditional first born wasthe number four in overall the Children
were as follows: Mazivila, Dzimbeni, andMakuwane, Machimbha Mlangeni Mhandla also
known as Ximanga Tatani,Ghombane, Zukula, Nwampaku, Incaia, and Machenganyane as
brothers. The
traditional first born was Ndwadwe’s number four but Dzavani’s first born
Mlangeni. All nine brothers they have villages named after them at Bileni.Mhlahlandlela swept
the way to Mabulandlela as the grandchild of the traditionalfirst born went to the other piece
of land given by the Hlengwe was known asMabulandlela in 1890 whereby Nyavani Mavunda
went to Mabulandlela first in1835 for observation ,he ended at now Mulenzhe where the
Chauke Hlengwefoot print are situated.
Hlave was the son of Bileni of Mashiye of Juwah of Lala of Hluvi of Kongomeaning , they were
close brothers to Ndwandwe of Manukunuku of Bileni ofMashiye it shows that Manukunuku
and Hlave were brothers wherebyManukunuku was the father of Ndwandwe and Ngoveni /
Mlambya.
From KZN at the Langeni Kingdom King was Ndwandwe and Head Chief wasZwide to
Mozambique Ndwandwe was no longer a King he was a leader ,theHead Chief was Manukosi
Soshangana and to Mabulandlela Tsonga the leaderwas the grandsons of Gwambe Na Dzavani
Mhlahlandlela Makutsule BilaLangeni ,the Head Chief was Nyavani Mavunda as Mavunda was
the first born ofHlave ,Nyavani the father of Xihoko ,Dzumeri ,Ngove Mavunda , Rhangani
/Charlie Rangani and others. At Mozambique Ndwandwe of Manukunuku calledhimself Bila of
Mashiye and Manukosi called himself Gaza of Nxumalo todisguise from colonisers instead at
Mozambique Ndwandwe was known by thename Gwambe the husband of Nyakwave Dzavani
Nwa-Bangwani Chauke andManukosi known by the name Soshangana (Young Soldier)
Nghani (child /
Young)
Sosha (Soldier). Gwambe was Tsonga word meaning a dog sicknessso he used to call people
that they have dog sickness.
The Gwambe Na Dzavani Kingdom known as the relatives (Swihluke) ofNghunghunyani was
the traditional first born tribe of Africa ,they came toMabulandlela at Chauke Hlengwe Land
whereby they speak their motherLanguage which is the Hlengwe Language, they came to
gather with other tribescarrying African Altars such as (Hlengwe / Lobvi and Xixangaxile /
Mhelembe).
The Mhlahlandlela Langeni from KZN they came with their brother NxumaloLangeni family,
their other brother Hlave family and their nephews the Mthethwabrothers, whereby the
largest family of them all was Hlave that means theMabulandlela former Gazankulu is the
home of Hlave. The MhlahlandlelaLangeni family left their brother Nxumalo Langeni family at
Mozambique.
The road to Mabulandlela they were three families (Hlengwe from nowMapungubwe
Zimbabwe known as their uncles of Mabulandlela because ofNyakwave Nwa-Bangwani Dzavani
Chauke, their brother Hlave family and theirnephews Mthethwa family).
Bila Mlangeni Langeni family they marry at Chauke Hlengwe family, the MavundaHlave they
marry at Baloyi Lobwi family and Mthetwa family they marry at BilaLangeni family, meaning
they marry their
uncles’
daughters everything ended theyear 1914.
Every family that is having a Tribal Authority under Mabulandlela, they belong toGwambe na
Dzavani Kingdom same applies to our other families that we left atMozambique they belong to
Mzila na Mawewe Gaza Kingdom, for an example atBileni there is the graves of Ndwandwe,
Mavunda and others as Bileni was thehome of Mabulandlela all surnames of Mabulandlela are
represented.
Chauke Hlengwe son of Mavasa also known as Mabaso ,Mabaso son ofMzilikazi ,Mzilikazi son
of Mashobane Khumalo Mtungwa Mbulaso NdebeleNguni son of Kongo (Reference: Chauke
Hlengwe family originated from nowZimbabwe former South of Matebele Land before it was
Rhodesia ,MatebeleLand East of Mashona Land before it was combined to be Zimbabwe)
MeaningChauke Hlengwe they are Nguni of Ndebele under Mzilikazi kaMashobane).Another
Clarification Simango or Simagwa, Myambu, Sthole andothers those call themselves Ndau at
Mabulandlela, they are not Ndau, only theirMothers were Ndau is just that they have Ndau
Messengers, they are Hluvi.
Mabulandlela is the home of Hluvi in majority, Nguni of Mthethwa (Magoda andZinjhiva /
Ngomani) and Nguni of Zulu ka Malandhela are (Nghonyama) For thecorrection when Shaka
Zulu became a King of Zulu he has
stolen the Altar’s
secret from her mo
ther’s family of Lange
ni which was under Ndlovu Altar, using afamily member of Ngomani it was mix but without
Ingwe Ya Mavala vala Altar,that was
the reason he was called “Wena we Ndlovu” Ndhabezitha, his Head
Chief was Ngomani, to prove the point as he believe he was born a King as hismother was from
a powerful Langeni Kingdom and his father was the King ofowners of the Land, Zulu Kingdom.
That is the reason he became so powerful hewas running Zulu Kingdom using Ndlovu Altar
under the leadership of Mthethwa
which was member of Ngomani family. Shaka Zulu Kingdom fails as theNghonyama Altar of
Zulu, Ngomani Altar of Mthethwa and Ndlovu Altar underHluvi Langeni, was long gone with
King Ndwandwe ka Manukunukuaccompanied by then Head Chief Manukosi Soshangana
before he (Shaka)became a King, the reference is Shaka Zulu story of SABC (that was a
familypolitics) not African Politics because Africa was not fighting before Colonisation.
The clarification about the Mhelembe family as they are the son of Xisaka xaMipfi Hlengwe
whereby Xisaka Xa Mipfi family tree is as follows: TsandzaChavani the father of Chauke Humba,
Chauke Humba father of Xinyori, Xinyorifather of Nyoxi ya Malwandla the father of Xisaka xa
Mipfi, Xisaka Xa Mipfi fatherof two well-known brothers (Kangetela Ribyeni Chauke and
Xihlumula MfumuXirhangandlela Mhelembe).The Mhelembe they are close with Xixangaxile
andMhelembe marries Xixangaxile ladies , meaning they marries their unclesdaughters that
was the African traditional way ended the year 1914.
Information used from AA Jacques at Swivongo Swa Vatsonga book is the familytrees by the
former or late Chief or Leaders of the families, not stories as moststories are different from
each other stories, the reason they wanted to protect African Altar or Altar King, for more
information download the pdf document atthe Link below.
The Gaza people of Nghunghunyani sons of Muzila and Mawewe the relatives or
swihluke of Gwambe na Dzavani they don’t own any land at Mabulandlela they
came as refugees in 1906 but officially with their Head Chief Khosa family(Funwe House) and
the Bhambatha family of Zitha, Zitha and Ndlovu are the onlyNdhabezitha families, no one is
supposed to be called Ndhabezitha instead ofNdlovu and Zitha. For correction Lobwi are not
Gwambe and Xixangaxile are notDzavani. The true family tree was recited by the former Chiefs
your grandfathersand fathers.
African Altar is balanced by praying God in African way ,which is God Father,Son ,Holy
Spirit ,Messengers ,Kings and Family light (first born son).Followingthe African traditional
structural life which is God head of Jesus ,Jesus head ofMen ,Men head of Women ,Women
head of first born Son ,First born Son headof all siblings. Africa is a Latin word meaning Sunny
Land in Nguni, Africa meansLangeni, in Ethiopian means Zion. The God that we are praying is
God of Israel,God of Africa, and God of Zion. Israelites
says “God bless Africa or NkosiSikelel’i Africa”, African
says “Mayibuye I Africa”, The Zionist says “Kgotso
Africa
or Peace in Africa”. The
Israelites were Simeone and Semitic who was askingforgiveness after he was cursed Genesis
49, African was Kongo, Kangaba and Aksum and the Zionist was Daniel Nkonyane, Engnas
Lekganyane, IsaiahShembe and Ras Tafari Mokonnen also known as Haile Selassie were the first
African Christian praying God in African way, God of our Messengers. Meaningall Mabulandlela
Tribal Authority had Family Chiefs which is the Chief of Family Altar they were known as the
traditional healers of the family both ended 1914only applies to Gwambe Na Dzavani family
members not Mzila Na Mawewemembers. African Altar is the Altar of forgiveness and unity as
we are divided.
