Stanley Mondle ka Mbalekelwa ka Mhlakazanhlansi Mbatha
The first person we hear about is Mu-Ntu(Human Being) who originated from the reeds (emhlangeni) of the wetlands of Central Afrika. our Ancestors believed that there were Gods underground (Abaphansi) and the Great Power above which made things happen.
They called that power “Khulukhulu” (The Most High) and they believed he lived in the Sun or was the Sun and they regarded the Moon as his wife.
When they were in the South East of Afrika they started to call him “Mvelinqangi”(The Creator). they worshipped him in different ways, either by slaughtering cattle or goats and through burning insense (impepho), and talking to the long departed forefathers (Abaphansi) as they believed they were closer to him.
No one knows exactly the proccess of creation, that is why others have resorted to writing books to try and explain these secrets. This confusion has resulted in the mushrooming of many religions and churches, who all claim to know. People are trying to find the answer beyond the dim mist of eternity.
The truth is that no one knows the secret of creation, even the Scientists, Doctors, Priests etc have tried to no avail.
This resulted in many churches who claim to know, but the truth is that they are lying, so different churches have different versions of what they claim to know.
Generally the African people believe in a God, and since the arrival of European Missionaries in the 17th century most have converted to Christianity.
My Great-Grandfather Muzi was no exception, he converted to Christianity and added the name “Samuel” to his African name.
Most of my family members including myself have two names, the African one and Christian one, those names were given to us by our parents with the assistance of missionaries. Ihave since de-converted from Christianity, but my parents are still Christians. This doesn’t mean Iam an Atheist…Ihave faith in God, but the God Ibelieve in is neither Christian nor Islamic etc…But a Universal God who doesn’t favour one Religion above the other, or other people above the other, but he treats all people the same.
Following is my family lineage…in brackets are the siblings of the main person who is directly on my lineage. Iam Black, African and Zulu from emaMbatheni Family.We are closely related to the Zulu Family although now we inter-marry, but Iam encouraging those who know to refrain from it.
The Mbatha History cannot be divorced from the Zulu Family History as you will see herein under.

Maphashana ka Manyosi begot Mbopha who begot Gogo, who begot Mathambo, who begot Madubula who is a Chief of Ndokozane in Uitrect.
Years from 1-20 are estimates or nearest taking into consideration important events which happened around that time;
From 22-25 are actual years which can be verified.
It took me many years to find my exact family lineage, but the Family Praisenames, my Grandfather Mhlakaza and my Aunt Matozi, and many old people from my family helped me a lot. In some cases the names were not in sequence but that also was sorted out.
Iwill stop here today but will keep on adding some more information about my Family.

vincent bhekisisa mbatha
Shandu kaNdaba naseNtendeni yesandla uyenela, mine nginguBheki Mbatha KwaCeza endweni ebizwa NgaMagagadolo kwesika DJ Sgqemeza wodumo kuKhozi FM. Ngifisa ukwazi mayelana nokuxhumana phakathi kukaManyosi no-Nopetula owagcina ebulawa amabutho akhe uManyosi. They are original from KwaNobamba njengamanje leyondawo ibizwa nge Mpungamhlophe.Ukuhamba kwakhe kulendawo wabe eyosiza uZibula (uzalwa uZwide kaLanga) wakwaNdwandwe wakwaVuma(igama lomuzi) empini ayeyilwa noBheje Khumalo(ithuna lakhe lisendaweni ebizwa ngokuthi iseNgome(phakathi kwe Vryheid noNongoma). Ngicela ukuba sisizane ke Ndaba ekuhlaziyeni loludaba going forward because I want to get more information and also to establish whether is there any relationship between my ancestors and your ancestors. Kuyavela futhi ukuthi abantu base MaMbatheni babekade besendaweni Ebizwa namhlanje nge Gluckstud(area between Vryheid and Ulundi/Danny Dalton(where Mpungamhlophe location is today).
Ukhokho wami uMuzi Samuel Mbatha kanye nomkhulu wami uMhlakazanhlansi Mbhizi Mbatha amaliba abo akhona eGluckstadt eMission, futhi basebaningi abantu bakithi abasakhe kuleyondawo. Lezizindawo ozibalayo nginabo abakithi, kufanele impela sixoxe sizokwazi ukwazana kangcono.

Sizokhumbula futhi ukuthi uMpangazitha kaMageba wabuye washiya indodana yakhe uSontshikazi eyaqhubeka yabusa futhi yakha isizwe samaMbatha yena wabe esehamba eyobusa isizwe sakwaNtombela, kwazise phela wayehlobene nabo. Bheka ulibo ngapha ngenhla uNtombela wabe engumfowabo kaMalandela owakhulisa uZulu noQwabe.
