Mpande’s Grave – Nodwengu Museum by Ntuthuko

Ngwenya comes from Ngwenyama or Ngonyama in popular Zulu tick. Also called Nkuna or Gona or Chuka (Kenya) or Ngcuka or Kau or Khalo or lokha or Ilunga (Congo). The Congolese hold that it is the Ilunga tribe of the Lunda-Luba who became Zulus but tge word Lunda-Luba is another way of writing Zulu as Lunda = Elephant = Ndou = Zhou = Tlou = Ndlovu =Njobvu (Swahili-Kenyan) then Lunda-Luba becomes Zhou-Luba which is then Zuluba or BaZulu like how Sotobe = Besoto. When writing in French English alphabet-spelling Zulu becomes Zhoulou or Soulou. Zulus are native all over th3 world lioe South East Asia, India, South Pacific and Australia where black people are indigenous before current settlers ans dominant cultures stayed there. That is why all these countries have a sizable black population and they did not go there as slaves but they were found there by Chinese, White and India settlers. That is why they all have an indiginous black people problem. Anyway, the Phillipines and Indonesian Zulus were called Sulu - and they called themselves Maharlinka (Maluleka- KaMnyeni or KaCele or Khangela - npw callinh themselves Xhosa and living in the Eastern Cape) and Macabebe (BakaBhebhe - Mhlongo - now calling themselv3s Sothos or Barolong ba ga ... also called Zungu or Zongo or Ngozo). I also have pictures of them looking pretty black and African. They lived there in the 1200s -1600s when the Dutch deported them to South Africa, some went to live in Papua New Guinea, Australia and West Papua province of Indonesia. There are records that indicate that these Sulus who were Islam like Zwide and Dingaan (anywhere you find their people in Africa, a large portion of Bantus are muslim). Their princes were called Tuan, we call them Mntwana. I have done a lot of research on them, they were black. Only a few years after slavery ended did King Shaka rise to power.
