Ndlovu origins
A commenter asserts that the Zulu Ndlovu were originally a Sotho traditional healer's line captured by Shaka and absorbed, and that the Hlubi Ndlovu are a separate matter. This corresponds to the split-origin account recorded in the original Zulu document and in the Ndebele document, where Ndlovu is shown to cut across the Zansi, Enhla and Hole groupings
