New and exciting developments for the proud Nsingo Family!!! We have some of the information that we need in order to find our true sense of belonging. We will post some of the responses to the Nsingo Facebook Family's request for family trees. If you have not sent in your Family Tree as yet please hurry and do so now. The email address is nsingofanuel@vodamail.co.za. As soon as it arrives you will get a response.
We also need to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Nsingo(s) are really of Venda origin, not Ndebeles. We strongly believe that if you tell us which ancestors had which Venda names then we may be closer to solving the puzzle. Bruce Wekwa Nsingo raised a valid point on the subject that most of us have always feared to tackle. Isn't this the fear of oneself's identity, that we have always chosen to identify ourselves differently? But the proof will only be the discovery and realisation of the true origins of our ancestors. We will be glad if Bruce can also narrate some of the stories that he has heard in the past, and anything else that will contribute immensely towards achieving our goals as a family. The time is now to build a strong bond for the unfortunately geographically scattered Nsingo(s). Most of us grew up being told that we are originally Vendas, but geographically we grew up in Midlands Province, Matebeleland, Kwekwe, Silobela, Lower Gweru, Makulambila, Madlingogo, Tshokotshe, Sinangeni, Msilahobe, Crossroads, Ntobe, Loreto Mission, Queen' s Mine, Zvishavane, Fort Rixon, Mberenwa, Bulawayo and other parts of Mashonaland, Masvingo and Manicaland provinces. Now, only' we', can help ourselves trace our roots, where we come from, who and what are we. For now, please keep your emails coming!
- Zakhele Magagula, who is a real Nsingo but chose to share his mother' s surname, uMagagula, sent in this email:
1. Peter Nsingo, I know he is our grandfather, but not sure if his father was Kanka.. or his father was a brother to Kanka. I can get some guys to confirm that.
2. Sikhatshana Nsingo. I know his was on the level of obaba, but not very sure if Kreda was his father or Sibling.
3. As from uMavial going down I have a lot of info, as it is where I directly come from...
- Zakhele Nsingo also sent us a Family Tree that we are still working on and post to this website later.
- Carol Nsingo emailed the following:
Our forefathers (3 of them) basuka eSouth Africa loMzilikazi bezinyanga zakhe. Their names were: Mgabeli, Mluge & Bhorongo. One of them was assasinated in other parts of Rhodesia but I'mnot sure where exactly.
Ok now follow this carefully:
uMluge wazala uKhanka loZinyika,
uKhanka wazala uMavila loNgundu,
uMavila wazala 4 brothers kuGogo wethu ( they had so many wives),
namely:
Jeremiah (born1919) and he later relocated to Zambia,
Excel 1923 (now late),
Madlekuseni (our dad also the late),
Madlekuseni was born in February 1927,
Our aunt Martha is still alive though a bit aged now, born in the '30s,
Zinyika (Khanka's brother) had a nephew called Prema, but I can't remember the name of Prema' s father,
Ngundu (Mavila's brother) wazala uBranda Sikhatshana and Creda,
Lakuqala (Mavila's other brother) wazala uPeter lo Sibonile abaseGumbalo.
Now going back to one of the 3 forefathers who came with Mzilikazi. I mean Mgabeli (brother of Mluge) wazala uMnyathi lo Mahogo
Laba labo bazala oMunyiki,
Izizukulwane zabo ngo bhudi uAmon born 1950s laboEllington but I'm not sure of their age groups but maybe they are in their early 60s.
God Bless us for this rich information so far! Let's meet on Facebook @ Nsingo Facebook Family Group! Enjoy!

Mzilikazi is a cousin to Zwangendaba,
ReplyDeleteZwangendaba is Nsingu's Grand father, one from male side Mashobane and the other Zwangendaba's mother is a Nzima brother to Zwide ka Langa son of Vimba! Nsingu was assasinated for resisting British Rule in North East Rhodesia. Nsingo is son of Zwangendaba's first son, King of the Nguni,
thx for yo above comment Carol. just keep checking for new post here that will create more confusion as to the true identity of the Nsingo(s).
ReplyDeleteThus interesting Fanuel, wow we are getting there slowly. Those confusions are good in the sense that they will acquire more research and by so doing we will get more info. Thumbs up!!!!
