SnamaRhaduCwerhaNuneMbathaneMatshaya The History Behind This Name
As written down by the people named at the end.
The amaXesibe live in the north-eastern Eastern Cape and the southern parts of KwaZulu-Natal, and are counted among the abaMbo kin of the amaMpondo and amaMpondomise. Their best-known descendant nation is the amaQwathi, founded by Mtshutshumbe kaMthetho, who split away and settled in Thembuland.
Wikipedia's article on the amaXesibe is a stub: it records the people, the region and the practice of intwaso, but not the chiefly line. Nothing further is claimed here.
