About This Record

What Was Written Down

A Mpondomise clan listing (embomaxhosa.blogspot.com) lists amaNgwevu among the Mpondomise iziduko. South African History Online and Wikipedia record the amaNgwevu of the amaMpondomise as the clan that helped Tshawe take the Xhosa chieftainship from Cirha - which places this isiduko at the founding of the Xhosa kingdom itself.
