About This Record
What Was Written Down
Kuper, as reported, classes the Dvuba as Nguni late-comers. Jojo Dvuba was an indvuna of Mswati II at Kufinyeni. Kuper's table is also reported as listing a Dvu among the clans sharing the Nkhosi appellation; whether Dvu and Dvuba are the same is not stated. Recorded from the sources named on this entry; the wording here is Sibaya's own.
