About this ebook
Thamsanqa Kingsley Sibisi
I was born in Newcastle in KwaZulu-Natal, that’s what my mother used to say, then she would tell her story of a nurse who stole my cowl, a thing which may have something to do with me being the saying, “isilosengubo” (the beast of the cowl) i.e., if you made someone “isilosengubo” you let him or her down, or you seriously harmed him or her. After my parents’ wedding in 1982 in Bergville, we went to join my father’s family in Waters meet, a village outside Ladysmith. I then joined others for the first year at Waters meet Primary School together with my mother, who also started to teach Standard Three pupils in the same school. One day, some neighbouring kids (the neighbour just opposite our house), at my arrival in their house, came up with a story of a two-headed serpent that came slithering from the direction of our house. When they rushed past, pelting it with stone, it slithered in to the rondavel one of them said, pointing his finger at the old cracked greying door of the roofless rondavel. I got puzzled a bit, wondering about the said deformed serpent.

Shaka Zulu to Hide Pharoah - Thamsanqa Kingsley Sibisi
Chapter One
Introduction
Shaka Zulu
The tales of Shaka Zulu and the history of South Africa that South African Schools teach is: Shaka was a chief who welded many tribes together by force building his Zulu Empire. This began with the slaying of Dingiswayo, the chief of the Theta tribe, by Zwide, the chief of the Ndwandwes. Dingiswayo was before, a Gordian of Shaka, after his death, Shaka called the Buthelezi tribe of Nqengelele, the Khumalo tribe of Mzilikazi KaMashobana, and others to come and help his tribe (the Zulu’s) and the Mthethwa tribes against Zwide (the Ndwande’s). After the defeat of Zwide, Shaka waged the war further to other tribes; forcing them to come under his rule; a thing that caused Mzilikazi and the Son of Dingiwsayo to flee Zululand when suspecting a ploy by Shaka to kill them. Shaka continued to weld the nation together for two years (1818 to 1820). At the time Finn and his crew arrive in 1821 Shaka’s campaign was at rest, he was just enjoying his ion rule. The calamity started all over again during the moaning of the death of his mother – Nandi (the daughter of Pepe); which coasted seven thousand innocent lives, then, after that he went to attack the Mpondos’ (Horns or identity) and then later the Ncobo’s (the anointments). A thing made him attack the Ncobo’s was the three Ncobo Brothers who were fighting each other over castor-oil forest, in September 24, 1928 Shaka’s impi left to attack the Ncobos, but he also died the same day a brilliant choice astrologically
. But you will be shocked when reading the works of the historians like Dan Willy. Where Dan makes it clear they know nothing about Shaka as historians, not even when he was born or died. The accounts of colonist are the plain old lies the colonial officials like Finn composed with intention of hiding themselves and that some accounts like those of Philip are the compositions of a ghost writer in Britain and he goes further and say the other trough of accounts of Shaka Zulu are written in wiles of languages and a language hiding as much as they reveal. This is indeed the trough this book is about. First, those accounts belongs to the Pharaohs, they are of the city of the Sun in Egypt. They were mixed by the Nguni scholars as the palm/ bear of the Egyptians’ Christ, Horus or Pharaoh who was still to be born and whom the compositions of Shaka Zulu was aiming at taking his place. The accounts are simple just the accounts of the Red Buffalo, and the red King who were retrieved from the so called isibanda (the plaster). Isibanda is a wall of restitution or the palm of their coming King Mafongose (The one they used to swore by), they had planted and plastered on people as names, praises of chiefdoms and of kings and important people and also on land, mountains, rivers, and even on body parts, and in figures of speech, tales, and lullaby’s. People are very much familiar with these accounts as they are also tested at schools as they were made compulsory by the Zulu language scholars who were also secretly monitoring the trough to ascertain that everything about history and their messiah remains the work of the Ngunis were history is preserved right underneath the noses of colonial and Apartheid officials. These accounts were monitored by the astrologists and a poet DBZ Ntuli who inherited the knowledge and responsibility from his elders, so as to make sure they reach their destiny - the reed. The accounts were narrated as they are in books and source materials buy people every day even during the rituals and in everyday life like for instance when a man enters a home of some else he will loudly say Izizthakazelo (the praises of chiefdoms/ surname), as he approaches the gates. People of today are still keeping this custom though they do not know what it is they say when narrating them because of wiles of language and of the old Zulu words which are no longer in use in some part of Zululand and Natal like for instance in townships. When narrating the accounts are about Chenti irti and what happened during the nineteen hundreds? Suppose then one would ask, ‘why they did that?’ the answer is in the notes and the lectures of James Stuart who at that time served as civil servant and Magistrate of colonial government where he comments about the destruction of the history of the Ngunis as a result of its far off (Pharaohs) background a thing which according to him required investigation as to whether there is any reason which of its advantage could bay be lead to them finding it not wise to destroy it. Some like Bishop Colenso used to identify the Ngunis as the Jews of Kaffer tribes, others calling them Mohammedans maybe because of the head rings. In other works of historians and of the Nguni scholars you will find some mentioning that the King of the Ngunis is a deity of the ancient Mosaic faith. When others like Philip Powel spills things like the bible is of the Ngunis ancestors the later borrowed the concept of paradise from the Zula one meaning Old Testament. Bishop Colenso on the other hand claiming that the Zulus are sons and grandsons of Abraham through Esau and Ishmael. Stewarts exasperating in his notes he says he would like to brave and say this, He (the King) is not headman, not a chief and not shadow following people but a King, and that the tribes Europe have invaded and took their land are his people and that the land is his, from Cape to as Far as Uganda, he goes as far as talking about the tribe’s calling which was to serve purpose, and even mention that Europe is the one ignorant on the matter and as result it is likely that the King would rule at any moment, and that he would then cater for the welfare of both black and white in one body politics – a thing that Europe loath. On other hand Rev, J L Dube when talking of the King he often mention his Royal Majesty as a King all the natives, and waffles about the draught and will – o - the wisp. So far the history of Ngunis or of the Zulus was destroyed, and it does not form part of our syllabus today, but instead the very plain old lies of the colonists are the history we teach, because Politian’s benefit from it – that’s what one of them said one morning in a TV documentary. In the accounts by Ntuli (the astrologist) and Nguni scholars quoted, as the remains of a broken potsherd as to what genuinely happened, that made the Ngunis such a marginalized nation. A THING THAT IS KING TO US (NGUNIS) In 1916 James Stuart encouraged the natives to collect their arts and build their library. Amongst such things he included paintings, sculptures, and woven arts. He said they should focus on the following subjects, what it is their ancestors worshiped before the white man came, then to Shaka, Dingani, Mpande, and Cethwayo. Amongst other things he mentioned poetry tails and myths and even that people should resemble the one he heard people praising saying he is not returning from where he went (who is he?). This led to the writing by Mkhize who say his source was Ntuli. In his notes, he often quoted from the bible. Another of his quotes was deuteronomy30; 11-14, 19-20.
His subject was: a thing which a King to us (Zulus)
Briefly: according the Laws of Embo when we say to a king Bayede uyiZulu, (hail you heaven) we mean then quotes: Deuteronomy 30:11-14, 19-20
Reading: {30:11} For this commandment which I command thee this day, it [is] not hidden from thee, neither [is] it far off.{30:12} It [is] not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? {30:13} Neither [is] it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it{30:14} But the word [is] very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.{30:19} I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thouand thy seed may live: {30:20} That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, [and] that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he [is] thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give
