Your Family's Praise Belongs Here

This clan has a praise. It is not on this page yet, and that is our doing, not anything about your family or the praise itself. If the people at home still say it, you can put the true one here.

Why It Is Not Here Yet

The rendering that was read: Anonymous blog administrator, Tinanatelo (community blog, 116 posts of June 2018), 2018, Blogger — http://tinanatelo.blogspot.com/2018/06/ (post TINANATELO, section MABUZA)

A praise belongs to the families who recite it, not to whoever wrote it down. A siSwati-speaking family that still holds this one holds the better version of it, and can put that version on this page.

Written down by families and by the people who recorded them.

About This Record

What Was Written Down

Thwala 2013 treats the Mabuza of Mafutseni as a branch of the royal house that later suffered from princely placing. Maganeni Dlamini named Mabuza as a brother of Dlamini, Shabalala and Ginindza, all born of Ludvonga (SWOHP_HLATSHWAKO endnote xix). The blog praise recites Mshengu, Shabalala and the Ludvonga-Mavuso-Ngwane royal chain, and the Lubombo-skirting line shared with the Dlamini. Recorded from the sources named on this entry; the wording here is Sibaya's own.

If Your Family Holds More Of This

A family saying its own tinanatelo knows them better than any directory does. If yours has more than what is on this page, it belongs here.

This is also how this clan's praise gets onto the page. Your family's own words are yours to give.
