Abantu bakwaChonco bawuzalo lweNkosi uSibiside kaSidweba yaseMbo. INkosi uSibiside ibuye ibe nguKhokho wabakwaMkhize ,Shange,Ngubane, Ngezane,Mdima, amaMpondo oNyawuza ,Faku ,aMaXesibe nezinye nje izibongo zaseMampondweni. Abantu bakwaChonco baphuma kuNomafu kaSibiside obuye abe nguKhokho wabantu bakwaNgubane. Isizwe lapho kuphuma khona abakwaChonco sibizwa ngokuthi isizwe saMabomvana, abakwaNgubane bona bangaMabomvu. UChonco lona okwaqanjwa ngaye isibongo kuthiwa wayeyindodana yeNkosi uGambushe ka Jalamba yaMabomvana. Yebo iNkosi uGumbushe yona kanye le evela ezibongweni zeLembe uma kuthiwa ” Inyathi ejame ngomkhonto phezu koMzimvumu ! AMampondo ayesaba nokuyehlela! Nani boGambushe nani boFaku ningamhlabi! ”  Ziqhubeka zithi ” UGasane kade lubagasela lugasele uPhungashe kwaButhelezi! Lwagasela uMacingwane eNgonyamani! Lwagasela Lwagasela uSondaba woMthanda ehlezi ebandla! Lwagasela uNxaba kaMbekane! Kwagasela uGambushe eMampondweni**!! Kusobala-ke ukuthi ngesikhathi iLembe lihlanganisa izizwe kwaZulu aMabomvana ayebuswa yiNkosi uGambushe . Kanti kwaXhosa nokuyilapho kwakuzinze khona aMabomvana kwakubusa iKumkani uHinsa kaKhawutha . Aah!! Zanzolo!

AMabomvana ngesikhathi seSilo uShaka neKumkani uZanzolo ayezinze ezweni lakwaXhosa endaweni yaseXhorha , ikoMkhulu leNkosi uGambushe lalibizwa ngokuthi kuseMgojeni . Nanamuhla lisabizwa ngalelogama.

UChonco lona okwaqawanjwa nganye isibongo kuthiwa wayengenye yamadodana eNkosi uGambushe yaMabomvana . Wayelamana neNtombi uNomusa kaGambushe owagana iKumkani uZanzolo , yazala iKumkani uSarhili .

IKumkani uZanzolo kuthiwa yabe iyikhonze kakhulu iNkosi uGambushe yikho nje yaze yaganwa yiNdodakazi yeNkosi uGambushe uNomusa .Kuthiwa iKumkani uZanzolo yagcina ilinwebile izwe lamaMabomvana kangangokuthi iNkosi uGambushe yagcina iqoke iNkosana yayo uNtshunqe ukuba abuse enye ingxenye yaMabomvana. Yiyona into eyenyanyisa uChonco kaGambushe -ke leyo . UChonco wagcina ezimbandakanye nomngane wakhe omkhulu uNodada kaNgoza kaMkhubukeli waseBathenjini . Uyise kaNodada uNgoza wayesuke eMnambithi ebalekela iLembe wabheka eKoloni ngehlonso yokuyozimbandakanya nabakwabo aBathembu beNkosi uNgubengcuka kodwa ngeshwa wagcina engasafikanga kubona ngoba wagcina ebulawe ngaMampondo eNkosi uFaku  . Ngenkathi ebulawa wayezinze khona ezweni laMabomvana ngoba yena neNkosi uGambushe bafike bezwana kakhulu baba ngabahlobo. UMngane kaChonco uNodada kaNgoza akumphathanga kahle ukubulawa kukayise ebulawa izihlobo zaMabomvana nokungaMampondo eNkosi ingakho wagcina enqume ukuphindela kwaZulu. Wathathana -ke nomngane wakhe uChonco baphikelela kwaZulu bagcina bezinze endaweni yaseMsinga . Bafica kwaZulu sekubusa iNgonyama uDingane eyababuthela ebuthweni uMkhulutshane .Ngowe 1838 uChonco noNodada balwa ngokubuwhawe nangokuzikhandla empini yaseNcome ngenkathi kuliwa nabahlaseli bakaNgalonkulu(Andries Pretorious) mhla zingama 16 kuZibandlela . UChonco wazala uShayimamba nokunguyena ogqama kakhulu ezithakazelweni zakwaChonco . Kodwa kukhona abomndeni wakhona kwaChonco abathi uChonco kusenguye uShayimamba. Kukhona futhi nabathi uChonco ngelinye lamagama eNkosi uGambushe.  Kodwa olwami ucwaningo luyakuchitha lokho. Ngicabanga ukuthi abantu abakwaChonco kusafanele basukume bayofuna ezinqolobaneni ezilondoloza umlando wakwaNtu ukuthi kahle -hle wayengubani uChonco ngoba bayaphikisana bebodwa .
