Ngesikhathi iSilo uShaka sihlanganisa izizwe isizwe sakwaMtshali sasibuswa inkosi uKhondlo. Isizwe sakwaMtshali sasakhe endaweni yaseNtabankulu. Esizweni sakwaMtshali kwabuye kwahlephuka esinye futhi isizwe nokuyisizwe esesisikhulu manje, leso sizwe ngesakwaJiyane
Isibongo sakwaMtshali saqambeka ngoMtshali kaMabhedla insizwa eyafuzwa yigama layo ngoba kuthiwa le nsizwa yayinekhono lokutshala. UMtshali nguye owazala inkosi uKhondlo. Isizwe sakwaMtshali sahlaseleka ngenkathi iLembe lihlanganisa izizwe kangangokuthi nenkosi uKhondlo yakhothama ibulawa impi yeLembe  . Ngemuva kwalolo hlaselo abantu bakwaMtshali bahlaazeka ,kwathi labo abasala eNtabankulu basala bebuswa uMakhathini Jiyane owazala imbongi enkulu uMagolwana Jiyane.

UMthwakazi isizwe esabunjwa iSilo uMzilikazi Khumalo. Leso sizwe sitholakala lapho seyiBulawayo khona namuhla,eZimbabwe. Lezi zinsizwa oLotshe noMbambelele zalwa ngobuqhawe obukhulu ngenkathi iLembe lixabane neNkanyamba (iSilo uMzilikazi). Zalwa ngasohlangothini lweNkanyamba eyabe ingakabi iSilo ngaleso sikhathi. Kwakukhona ubuhlobo phakathi kwaMantshali nabakwaKhumalo ngoba inkosi uMashobana uyise weSilo uMzilikazi yayizalwa isithole sakhona eMantshalini.  OLotshe noMbambelele bazilwa zonke izimpi zeSilo uMzilikazi .

NguMbambelele Mtshali owabutha aBantwana beSilo uMzilikazi,ebabuthela ebuthweni laMahlokohloko. Kusuke kushiwo lona leli butho ezibongweni zeSilo uMzilikazi uma kuthiwa ‘UNkomo zaNtungwa zaklaba emfundeni yaMahlokohloko kuMbambelele,zakhethelwa zinyathi kwaSoshangana,zayishaya phansi imbedula emagudu’..

Uyakhumbulela umfoka uMtshali ngenkathi ehola ithimba elaphikelela kuKhwini Vitholi kwelamaNgisi ngenkulu impumelelo . Lelo thimba lalithunywe iSilo uLobhengula kuKhwini Vitholi ukuba liyokwakha ubuhlobo phakathi kukaMthwakazi namaNgisi.  Kuthiwa indlovukazi yamaNgisi yamthanda kakhulu umfoka Mtshali  kangangokuthi yaze yamnika nezipho eziningi. Kulezo zipho singabala kuzo amasudu,othayi,izichathulo nokunye. Kulezo zipho kwakukhona nesibuko nokuyinto eyayiziwa kwaMthwakazi. Singasho nje ukuthi umuntu wokuqala owafaka  isudu kwaMthwakazi uLotshe umfoka Mtshali. Kuthiwa isibuko sona yayisithande kakhulu into kaMtshali,ihlezi isiphethe nje ,izibuka ngaso . Kwase kuba khona abanyundela uLotshe eSilweni uLobhengula,bayoqamba amanga bathi kuso uLotshe useyathakatha,usephatha umphezulu ngezandla. Besho isibuku esingenacala ayeze naso phesheya kuKhwini.
