Kuthiwa abantu bakwaBhengu(Ngcolosi) babona abantu bakwaMchunu kanye naBaThembu bebaleka uShaka, kwathi abakwaNgcobo nabakwaMkhize bona basheshe bazinikela kuShaka. Lokhu abantu bakwaBhengu bakubona kungobukhulu ubuhlakani ukuzinikela. Lokho kwaba ukuziphephisa kwabo olakeni lukaShaka, bahlala ngokuthula ngaphansi kwephiko likaShaka kwaze kwaphazamiseka ukuthula kwabo ngesikhathi sekubusa uDingane owayengafuni nakuzwa nje ngabantu ababezwana noma bengabangani bakaShaka.
