About This Record
What Was Written Down
Junod records Matjolo as a son of Nhlaruti and brother of Mpfumo; the two clans, once one under Nhlaruti, separated and became hostile. He gives the Tembe-Mapute and Mpfumo-Matjolo splits as examples of how small Bantu chiefdoms divide when they grow. Recorded from the sources named on this entry; the wording here is Sibaya's own.
