Your Family's Praise Belongs Here
This clan has a praise. It is not on this page yet, and that is our doing, not anything about your family or the praise itself. If the people at home still say it, you can put the true one here.
Why It Is Not Here Yet
The rendering that was read: Anonymous blog administrator, Tinanatelo (community blog, 116 posts of June 2018), 2018, Blogger — http://tinanatelo.blogspot.com/2018/06/ (post BakaMnisi)
A praise belongs to the families who recite it, not to whoever wrote it down. A siSwati-speaking family that still holds this one holds the better version of it, and can put that version on this page.
Written down by families and by the people who recorded them.
About This Record
What Was Written Down
A Sotho chiefdom found in place, later watched by Prince Nyamayenja and attacked by Mswati II. Simelane Simelane said the Mnisi were already in the country when the Simelane arrived. The community blog gives a house-by-house genealogy from Mnisi through Madlalisa and Manyovu, with the Msundvuka, Lukhambule and Nkhundla houses, and says the Dlamini found them under Manyovu. Recorded from the sources named on this entry; the wording here is Sibaya's own.

If Your Family Holds More Of This
A family saying its own tinanatelo knows them better than any directory does. If yours has more than what is on this page, it belongs here.
This is also how this clan's praise gets onto the page. Your family's own words are yours to give.
