About This Record
What Was Written Down
The izithakazelo.blog directory records Khumalo as a Hlubi clan name in the Xhosa directory. The same name is a major clan in the isiZulu corpus, recorded there with its own history - the two entries are not merged, because a shared name is not a shared clan.

Buthelezi and Khumalo relatedness
Some hold the Buthelezi are amaNtungwa and therefore kin to the Khumalo. Others hold there is no relation, and that the eMaNtungweni place name at the Buthelezi great place arose because a Buthelezi chief married two Mntungwa wives, a Khumalo and a Mabaso, who lived in one homestead. A precise, testable counter-explanation for an apparent praise-name overlap
