As written down by the people named at the end.
Rharhabe kaPhalo (about 1722-1787) was the eldest son of King Phalo kaTshiwo and the founder of the Right Hand House. He crossed the Kei River with his followers after a clash with his younger half-brother Gcaleka, who held the Great House.
He died about 1787 of wounds taken in a campaign against the amaQwathi, which had begun in a dispute over the bride price paid for his daughter Ntsusa and the killing of his son Cebo. The Rharhabe House continues as the junior royal house of the amaXhosa.
