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/ (posts Tinanatelo NHLEKO and the TINANATELO compilation)

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.

Also Spelled

Nhleko is also written Mncwangu / Mngcwangu.

Spellings differ between families, between records and between countries. Wozekhaya keeps the name as each source wrote it rather than settling on one form.

Written down by families and by the people who recorded them.

About This Record

What Was Written Down

Mzakayise Nhleko told the project in 1986 that Mncwangu was the original sibongo and the father of the Nhleko. Logwaja Mamba discussed the Nhleko in connection with Dlangeni. Recorded from the sources named on this entry; the wording here is Sibaya's own.

Tell Me When It Opens

We write to you about Wozekhaya, and nothing else.

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.
