Umlando wamaMbotho / History of the Mbotho Clan


Nzala yakwaMbotho, sicela uncedo bethuna, sizama ukudibanisa umlando wethu. Below is a short history of our people that still needs to be investigated and verified. I decided to post it because I wanted to get the ball rolling towards putting something together. It has been a couple of years now, we've been trying to get information so I implore you to please read through, speak to parents, grandparents and help us further research and verify our history so that we can produce a book that everyone can have access to. Please note that the information contained in this document still needs work but it is a starting point. It is up to each one of us to come to the table with something, whether it's a correction, translation or verification. Your contribution will be highly appreciated.

Ubukhosi buqala ngeNdlovukazi uMyalwana, owayeyi Ndlovukazi yemvula
The Kingdom was initially ruled by Queen Myalwana - Queen of the Rain
Emveni kwakhe yanguMtshikilana. Asazi ukuthi kwahambeka njani emva koMtshikilana
She was succeeded by Mtshikilana. We currently don't have information about who came after and/or succeeded Mtshikilana
Phakathi konyaka 1700 no 1800 iinkosi ezazikhokhela  phakathi komlambo uMzimkhulu naseMtavuna Hluku (kwaMbotho eHarding) ngu:
The Kings that ruled the Mbotho Clan between year 1700 and 1800 over the area between the river Mzimkhulu and Mtavuna Hluku (which is now known as kwaMbotho in Harding) were;
1. Chitho
1. Chitho
2. Hlakanya, kwaphatha umfo wakubo uNciya ukutshona kwakhe
2. Hlakanya, who was succeeded by his brother Nciya when he died
3. Nciya ka Chitho (during d mfecan wars an he was a great warrior ) and his sister Noluju was incharge ezimpini,nasemvulen(rain)
3. Nciya was Chitho's son and a great warrior during the Mfecane wars. His sister Noluju was incharge of the warriors, war strategies and the rain
4. Mlontshwa with many wives (great wife maNzimakwe her son Siyephu, and an wife kaMajola her son Mancengeza as d result of dis famil splitted apart,many people ahamba eharding baya koflagstaff after kokubulawa kuka Mancengeza yashabalala nemvula kwambotho
4. Mlotshwa succeeded Chitho. He had many wives, his great wife maNzimakwe who bore him his heir, Siyephu. Another wife from the Majola clan gave him the son Mancengeza. When Mancengeza was killed a split happened in the family with a lot of people leaving Harding and going to Flagstaff. This also led to the loss of the ability to control rain that the Mbotho clan had. 
5. Siyephu naye waba nenkinga d great wife umaXolo akamtholanga umntwana kwanjaloke umbango wabafazi(9 wives with many sons) kwagcina
kungena Marhelani kamaGasa but ebangiswa
 5. Siyephu had troubles and his great wife maXolo could not bear him an heir. This resulted in their being a lot of claims for the throne as Siyephu had 9 other wives who had many sons. In the end Marhelani maGasa's son was placed on the throne despite the numerous claims
6. Marhelani (6 wives but uyena wahlulahlula ifamily waze wazeka kwaMbotho (Mdleko) wavelwa ukugula emamusha wafa izinyawo kwa ngena his Mageba
 6. Marhelani had six wives. He divided the family, took a wife from Mbotho (Mdleko) and was suddenly killed by an illness. He was succeeded by Mageba
7. Mageba(two wives maDlamini an maMtshali/mtyali) mageba uyewaboshwa
emva kwempi yabeshawu naMbotho,kanti uyena nkosi wabehlula abezansi
empini ka 1960 inhlangwini yasegugwini nasemthintanyon wayehlula
umfoka Marhelan into eyayingakaze yenzeke phambilini
 7. Mageba had two wives, maDlamini and MaMtshali/Mtyali. Mageba was arrested after the war between abeShawu namaMbotho. 
 eboshiwe uMageba nenduna uMshikilana
uMageba wacela uMabhadu kaSofayela kaMrhabula kaMabhida ukut
abambe,zasala izinduna zajika zabeka
Magesini kaMarhelani kwabakubi komkhulu basala baphela abantwana
benkosi Mageba,wabuya unkos ejele,bashona abantana bakhe,waze
wasweleka naye,at last wasinda oyedwa kumaDlamini,okamaMtyali
waboshwa(mthetheleli)kwazongena
8. After the arrest of Mageba and Mtshikilana, Mageba asked that Mabhadu kaSofayela kaMrhabula kaMabhida be put in his place but the chiefs changed this and decided that Magesini kaMarhelani be placed on the throne. This was followed by a terrible time in the palace where the King Mageba's children died. When the King came back from jail, he also died following his children. His only surviving child Mthetheleli, who was the son of maDlamini, a daughter of Mtyali was arrested. He was then succeeded by Chief Velela
 chief Velela Nicholus Mbotho,ugule iminyaka amaMbotho ahlangana
ebuzana ubuni ozongena ngoba uyafa lonkosi kant phinde ,wazeka
abantwana basweka nonkosikz wasweleka,but usamili
9. Chief Velela Nicholus Mbotho became sick for many years. The Mbotho clan came together to figure out who would succeed him when it became apparent that he was dying. His wife and all his children also died. He is still alive
Manje unkosi uqale ukufuna amaMbotho an 2 unite d family,amaYalo
Now the chief wants all the Motho clan to unite 
 UmaMbotho athe ngu Dumezweni
 The clan named the chief Dumezweni
 Umlando wamayalo
Singamakhosi emvula kudala ke siduban,sizinyanga simfuyo,emampondwen
ngamayalo angamaphakathi akwaNyawuza
 The history of the Mbotho Clan - We are the kingdom of the rain. We've always had the power to control the rain, heal ourselves and we owned livestock. In Mpondoland we were part of the council of Nyawuza
