Chaka Zulu

Dlungwana son of Ndaba!

the greatest warrior of all times

conceived out of wedlock by his mother Nandi and his father

voracious one of Senzangakhona

son of Nandi kaBebe, the daughter of a Langeni chief

born in Langeni territory at the Nguga homestead

bayete inkosi

 

The scorpion of Phunga

boy from  esiKlebeni homestead

who was cooked in the deep pot of Ntombazi

overcame Msikazi among the Ndimoshes

son of the Mhlathuze Valley and Langeni people

bayete inkosi

 

Mandla kaNgome

who moved to the Mthethwa people

grew up in the court of Dingiswayo

founded the Ntontela regiment

the impi in the iziCwe regiment

Nodumehlezi

bayete inkosi

 

Axe of Senzangakhona

the warrior of Mhlathuze River

designer of the aniklwa

the king of KwaBulawayo, at the banks of the Mhodi,

in the Mhlathuze valley,

bayete inkosi

 

Young raging one of Nbaba!

the cause of Mfecane, Difaqane, Lifaqane

king of the centralized monarchy

builder of the Dukuza

undisputed, almighty ruler

bayete inkosi
