Umkhosi womhlanga isiko lokukhuthaza ubumsulwa ezintombi nokuhlonishwa kwabesifazane abasebasha.Kanye Baye Befundiswe Nokuhlonipha bobuntombi.&lt;ref&gt;Nkosi, Gugulethu Sebenzile. ''Umkhosi Womhlanga (Reed Dance) as a tourism enterprise in KwaZulu-Natal: Perceptions, policies and practices''. Diss. University of Zululand, 2013.&lt;/ref&gt;

[[File:Izintombi zoMkhosi woMhlanga.jpg|thumb|Enyokeni Royal Palace ]]'''UMkhosi Womhlanga''' ungeminye yemikhosi emidala kakhulu eMbusweni wobukhosi bakwaZulu. Lo mkhosi waqalwa amaZulu esazinze eNkabazwe yezwekazi lase-Afrika.  Ngeshwa-ke lo mkhosi washabalala ngesikhathi umbuso wakwaZulu unqotshwa ngamaNgisi kodwa wabuye wavuselelwa yiSilo [[Goodwill Zwelethini kaBhekuzulu|uZwelithini]] ngonyaka ka-1984. &lt;ref&gt;Nkosi, G. S. (2013). ''Umkhosi Womhlanga (Reed Dance) as a tourism enterprise in KwaZulu-Natal: Perceptions, policies and practices'' (Doctoral dissertation, University of Zululand).&lt;/ref&gt;

== '''UMLANDO''' ==
UMhlanga oxhumene nalo Mkhosi ngokomlando wuqalo oluthathwa njengomuthi wokuqala ukumila eNingizimu yezwe laseGibhithe [[I-Itiyopiya|eTopiya]]. Ngenxa yokuthathwa kwalo njengomuthi wokuqala, kukholelwa ukuthi uqalo wuhlanga lezwe olwaluhlanganisa iNingizimu neNyakatho yezwe laseGibhithe. [https://www.jstor.org/stable/24393056]  Leli siko lagqame kakhulu  ngeminyaka ye-[[Eswatini|1940 Eswatini]] ngaphansi kombuso kaSobhuza II. Izintombi zasuka kuzona zonke izindawo ezakhele izwe  [[Eswatini|laseSwazini]] zanikela eLudzidzini embuthanweni owathatha izinsuku eziyisishiyagalolunye&lt;ref&gt;https://uzspace.unizulu.ac.za/items/674f10cf-470b-4076-9fd4-6b713625d589&lt;/ref&gt;. Lo mkhosi ususelwa emcimbini omdala odume ngokuthi wumchwasho. Umchwasho uchazwa ngokuthi isiko eliqondene nezintombi ezimsulwa ezingakahlangano nowesilisa ngokocansi.  Kulo mkhosi, izintombi zisuke ziqhakambisa ubuntombi bazo nokuveza ubuhle bazo.  

Lo mkhosi wabuye wavuselelwa kuleli lase[[IRiphabhuliki yaseNingizimu Afrika|Ningizimu Afrika]] emva kokunyamalala isikhathi eside. Lo mkhosi ugqama  noma uthuthuke emva kokuba indlovukazi Mantfombi MaDlamini Zulu (ongowokudabuka eSwatini) esegcagcele esizweni samaZulu. Ngokomlando, indlovukazi Mantfombi eyavuselela leli siko. 

Ukubizwa [[Goodwill Zwelethini kaBhekuzulu|kweNgonyama ngoHlanga Lwezw]]&lt;nowiki/&gt;e kusukelwa kulolu qalo olwalumila eNingizimu yezwe lase[[IGibhithe|Gibhithe]]. Ngakho-ke uMhlanga okhiwa yizintombi ezingamatshitshi emifuleni umele uHlanga Lwezwe. Ukwethulwa komhlanga eNgonyameni kuwuphawu lokugcizelela ukuthathwa kwayo njengoHlanga Lwezwe.

Kafushane-nje, [[Reeds plant|umhlanga  uhlobo lotshani]]  noma isimila esimila sibe sihle emanzini kodwa esisheshayo ukwephuka uma sithola ukuthikamezwa noma sithinteka kabi. Lokhu kuchaza ukuchaza ukuthi intombi iyashesha ukwephuka noma ukulimala, kumele iphathwe ngokucophelela. Izintombi zifaniswa nalobo tshani kungakho kuthiwa umkhosi womhlanga. Lo mkhuba ugujwa njalo ngonyaka, enyangeni kaMandulo (September) esiGodlweni seNgonyama, [[Nongoma Local Municipality|eNyokeni kwaNongoma.]]

== '''Ukulungiselela KoMkhosi Womhlanga''' ==
Uma kuzogujwa uMkhosi wesizwe kuye kudingeke ukuba iSilo sizilungiselele ngokwanele. ISilo siye sixhumane naMakhosi esizwe asalala, sicele ukuba umcimbi ube yimpumelelo futhi kungabibikho mishophi eyehlayo sixhumana namakhosi esizwe asalala ngezindlela ezahlukene kungaba ngokomthandazo wayo wenkolo yobuKrestu noma ngokwesintu namasiko akhona. Ngakho-ke uma kuzogujwa uMkhosi Womhlanga iSilo siye singene emgonqweni ekuqaleni kwesonto lomkhosi. Ezinye izinhlelo zeNgonyama ziyama ngoba kusuke kufanele ibe sesigodlweni okuzogujelwa kuso umkhosi. Kuye kwenziwe konke okwesiko njengokugaywa kotshwala nokunye okuhambisana nokulungiselela nokubika umcimbi.Inhloso yokugoqa kweSilo ukucelela izintombi nezihambeli zomcimbi uhambo oluhle.

Kulo mcimbi,  kusuke kukhona abaqaphe isimo ukwenzela ukuthi uma kukhona okudinga ukungenelela kweNgonyama bakwazi ukuyobika ngokushesha. NoNdlunkulu beSilo kudingeke basondele esigodlweni okuzobanjelwa kuso uMkhosi Womhlanga.

== '''Izintombi namalungiselelo oMkhosi Womhlanga''' ==
Ngaphambi kokuba izintombi ziye eMkhosini Womhlanga ziyahlolwa ezifundeni lapho zisuka khona. Amatshitshi aya eMkhosini Womhlanga kufanele kube yilawo asethombile futhi ayalwa ukuthi kumele aziphathe kanjani uma esethombile. Lo Mhlanga othulwa eNgonyameni eNyokeni ugawulwa eMhlathuze enyakatho nelakwaZulu-Natali ngenxa yokuthi miningi kule ndawo.

== '''Ukuqokwa lweNkosazane okoyiyona ekha emhlanga wokuqala''' ==
Minyaka yonke iNgonyama iye iqoke iNkosazane yaseNdlunkulu okuyiyona ekha umhlanga wokuqala. Okubalulekile ngokuqokwa kweNkosazane ezophatha umhlanga ngalowo nyaka wukuthi kumele kube yileyo esuke ingene ebuntombini ngaphambi kokufika komcimbi woMkhosi Womhlanga. Ngaphambi kokuthi iNkosazane nethimba eliyokha umhlanga baphume, iNgonyama ibikela aMakhosi esizwe asakhothama neNdlunkulu bese icelela abaNtwana uhambo oluphephile. AbaNtwana baphuma ngoLwesithathu ebusuku bethubeleze njalo baze bayongenisa oBuka, emzini weNkosi yakwaBiyela.

=== '''Ekuseni ngoLwesine kwesakaBiyela Obuka''' ===
Ngaphambi kokuba abaNtwana baphume ngoLwesine ekuseni, iNkosi yakwaBiyela iye ibike abaNtwana, ibacelele ukuphepha endleleni. INkosi iye ihlabe imbuzi esibayeni bese kuthelwa iNkosazane ngenyongo. Le mbuzi ayiphekwa kodwa iNkosazane ibuyela nayo esigodlweni. Kuye kuhlatshwe inkomo ukuze ithimba eliphelezela iNkosazane nabaNtwana bathole okuya ngasethunjini. Izintombi zendawo ezisuke zilindele ithimba laseNdlunkulu emzini weNkosi nazo zihlatshelwa inkomo.

==== '''Ukukha Umhlanga (usuku uLwesine)''' ====
Emva kwesidlo sasekuseni izintombi zihuba ihubo bese zehlela Emfuleni ukuyokha Umhlanga. Owokuqala ukhiwa iNkosazane kanti uphathiswa okwezikhali zamaNtungwa. Umhlanga weNkosazane nabaNtwana ungena wodwa ebhasini, kuthi owezintombi zendawo ufakwe elolini. Izintombi zibuyela emzini weNkosi ( kwaBiyela) zilale,zivuke '''ngoLwesihlanu''' zibuyele esigodlweni zifike ziwubeke ngaphandle usuhlutshiwe, bese iNgonyama iyazemukela.  OweNkosazane wona ozomukelwa yiNgonyama, ulokhu uqashwe njalo ulinde usukU lwangoMgqibelo.

===== '''Izifundo ezifundwa koMkhulu eNyokeni''' =====
Ngokujwayelekile izintombi eziqhamuka ezifundeni ezahlukene zifika esigodlweni ngoLwesihlanu. Kuye kuphume abaNtwana baseNdlunkulu bazemukele. AbaNtwana baye bahube babuye bafundise izintombi amanye amahubo ezingawazi: Ngalo uLwesihlanu ngemuva kokwamukelwa izintombi zithola ithuba lokugida zibuye zithole iziyalo zeSilo.  Kuye kunikezwe izifundo zokuziphatha ngobuqotho nezimilo ezinhle kubantu besifazane. Kulesi sikhathi esiphila kuso esikhungethwe yisifo sengculaza, izifundo ezinikezwa amatshitshi seziye zigcizelele ukuthi ucansi olungaphephile lungukufa uqobo. Kubuye kukhunjuzwe amatshitshi ngendlela okhokho bawo ababeziphatha ngayo: Ukunikeza lezi zifundo kwenziwa yibona abesifazane kuze kumbandakanye ngisho amakhosikazi angonina bayo iNgonyama.

====== '''Ukugujwa koMkhosi Womhlanga''' ======
NgoMgqibelo izintombi zivuka ekuseni ziyogeza emfuleni zibuye sezivunule. Uma sezibuyile emfuleni ziye zimiswe ngezigaba ezifanele. Phambili kuma abaNtwana beSilo nabaNtwana baseNdlunkulu. Ngemuva kwabo kuma amatshitshi abhince umutsha, kuthi ngemuva kwaleli thimba kume amaqhikiza abhince umgcabha noma ivukusi Noma yiluphi uhlobo lokubhinca kumele ngaphezulu kwalo izintombi zibhince umutsha otshengisa ukuthi ziyizintombi.

'''''Imvunulo yezintombi yenhlukaniswe ngezigaba zayo ezine (4) kanje''''':

1.          Imvunulo yamajongosi izintombi ezingakaqomi

2.          Imvunulo yamaqhikiza okuyilezo eseziqomile

3.          Imvunulo eqondene nizingoduso okuyilezo esezigodusiwe noma eseziceliwe.

4.           Bese kuba nemvunulo yezinkehli okuyilezo esezilotsholiwe zaze zakhehlwa sezilinde umgcagco.

Zonke lezi zintombi zingamatshitshi kodwa imvunulo ezihlukanisa ngokwezigaba zazo. Yileso naleso sigaba sinemvunulo yaso. Zonke izintombi zisuke zivunule ngevunulo emiselwe noma eqondene nebanga elikuzo.  Akuvumekile ukuxuba imvunulo ngokwegaba.  

'''Amajongisi  '''

Amajongosi, amatshitshi awagqoki lutho ezinqeni kodwa kuba onomndindi nezingcubula. Lokhu kusuke kukhombisa ukuzigqaja kwawo amatshitshi ngemizimba yawo. Amabele awembozwa ngalutho ngoba lokho kwakungelona isiko lamaZulu. Ubona ngamabele amatshitshi azimponjwana emile ethe mpo nezinqe zakhona zithe du zingahambi zinyakaza. Ithanga lakhona liginqika amanzi ligcwele licwebezela.

INkosazane esuke iqokwe yiSilo iye ibisithatha umhlanga wokuqala iyowunika iSilo. ISilo sisuke silindele kanye nezimenywa esigodlweni ngenhla kwesibaya. Ngaphambi kokuba iSilo simukele umhlanga eNkosazaneni siye siqale siphule lowo wangonyaka odlule siwuhudulele eceleni. Lo Mhlanga usuke uncikiswe phakathi kwesigodlo nesibaya. Lokhu iSilo sikwenza kusasele amagxathu ambalwa ukuba iNkosazane ifike kuso. Emva kweNkosazane kulandela abanye abaNtwana kuze nezintombi. Konke lokhu izintombi zikwenza zihuba amahubo. Izintombi aziwubeki noma kanjani umhlanga kodwa ziwubeka ngokucophelela ngenxa yokuthi umele ubuntombi bazo.Mbonambi, H. B. (2010). Ukuvuselelwa kwesiko lokuhlonipha entsheni ensundu ikakhulukazi esizweni sakwaZulu (Doctoral dissertation).

Uma sekuqediwe iSilo siphuma ngehubo kulandele izintombi kuyiwe enkundleni lapho siyokwethula khona inkulumo yosuku.

====== '''Amabutho asingethe iNgonyama''' ======
EMkhosini Womhlanga kuye kubekhona amabutho abesilisa akhapha iNgonyama uma isiya enkundleni lapho izintombi zizogubha khona uMkhosi Womhlanga. Amabutho aphatha izihlangu, amawisa nezinduku angene neNgonyama enkundleni kuhutshwa amahubo esiZulu.  Wonke amaZulu esilisa azokwethamela uMkhosi Womhlanga kudingeka avunule ngemvunulo yesiNtu.

Izivakashi azivunyelwa ukungena emigqeni yezintombi ezigubhayo zithathe izithombe ngendlela engahlelekile. Lokhu kungehlisa isithunzi nokubaluleka koMkhosi bese kuba sengathi yinkundla yokwenza inzuzo kanti kusuke kwakhiwa isizwe. Enkulumeni yayo iNgonyama iye income ukuziphatha ngobuqotho kwezintombi zakwaZulu. Phela izintombi ezigubha uMkhosi Womhlanga zisuke zihloliwe ukuthi zisaphelele yini. Ngakho-ke ukuzincoma kugqugquzela ukuthi ziqhubeke nokuziphatha kahle ukuze unyaka nonyaka zithole ithuba lokuzobukwa iNgonyama nesizwe sonke. ISilo siye sigcizelele ukubaluleka kokuziphatha kahle ukuze kunciphe ukufa kwabantu okudalwa yingculaza. Ukuphetha uMkhosi Womhlanga kwesinye isikhathi iSilo siye siqambe igama lebutho lezintombi ebezigubha uMkhosi.

== '''Ukubaluleka koMkhosi Womhlanga''' ==
UMkhosi Womhlanga ubamba iqhaza elibalulekile ngokugqugquzela izintombi ukuba zigcine ubuntombi bazo zize zifike esigabeni sokushada. Izifundo ezifundiswa izintombi esigodlweni ziyasiza ekuvikeleni ukukhulelwa kwezintombi nokuhaqwa yisifo sengculaza. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuvuselela amasiko esintu nokuzigqaja kwezintombi ngobuzwe nobuntombi bazo. Ukubuthwa okudalwa nguMkhosi Womhlanga negama elinikezwa ibutho lezintombi kugqugquzela ukuziphatha kahle ezintombini ngoba zingafuni igama lebutho lithunazeke.Mbonambi, H. B. (2010). Ukuvuselelwa kwesiko lokuhlonipha entsheni ensundu ikakhulukazi esizweni sakwaZulu (Doctoral dissertation).

Mkhosi Womhlanga uvuselela amasiko Amahle okuziphatha kwezintombi. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuthi uthole abangani abaziphethe kahle futhi ugqugquzeleke ukuqhubeka nokugcina ubuntombi bakho. Kuyavela engxoxweni nezintombi ezizigcinile ezihamba uMkhosi Womhlanga ukuthi ontanga bazo abazemukeli kahle. Empeleni ngisho nabanye abazali banomona ngoba ezabo izingane zingaziphethe kahle bese bezibhuqa lezi ezigcine ubuntombi bazo. UManqele (2007) uqhuba uthi: uma ukhuluma iqiniso futhi ungazenyezi ngobuwena ontanga bakho bagcina sebekuhlonipha.

Lokhu kuchaza ukuthi izintombi azifunde ukuzethemba zingabanaki abazigxekayo ngoba bafuna zifane nabo. Nabo laba abagxekayo bayafisa ukuzigcina beyizintombi nto kodwa bahlulwa ukumelana nengcindezi yontanga babo.


Ngosuku  lomkhosi, umgubho uqala ngomkhuleko lapho izinyosi zihaya iSilo esibusayo namakhosi amadala.  Ngalesi sikhathi abaselisa bame ngezinyawo, kuthule cwaka. Abasemame nezintombi bahleli phansi kuthulekile. Akekho ukukizayo/ olilizayo. Bavala ngeHubo leSiswe.

'''Isiphetho''' 

Ukuhloniphana phakathi kwezintombi nezinsizwa kwakuyinto ebalulekile endulo. Namhlanje abanye abantu besilisa abasabahloniphi abantu besifazane. Ukuhlukunyezwa kwabantu besifazane kudla umunyu kuleli lizwe. Ingcabhayi ilele kubazali nothisha ukuba bakugxilise emiqondweni yezingane zabafana ukuthi umuntu wesifazane uyahlonishwa. 

'''''Endulo izintombi zazingavunyelwa ukuba ziye emathuneni'',''' namhlanje sekuwuthela wayeka usubona ngisho nojahidada emingcwabeni. Isiko lokugezwa ngomswani kwezintombi uma kade kushoniwe ekhaya alisanakwa. Kuhle ukuthi zibuye emasisweni, amasiko ayebumba isizwe abuyiswe.

'''''Isiko lokubalekela lalilihle linikeza izintombi ithuba lokuzikhethela'''''. Nokho kulesi sikhathi sanamhlanje mhlawumbe selingaba nenkinga ngoba abanye abantu sebalahlekelwa ubuntu. Kungenzeka ukuthi ithi intombi ibalekela umuntu bese eyinukubeza athi izilethe yona. Isiko lokuhlolwa kwezintombi libonakala liba nesasasa kulezi zinsuku. UMkhosi Womhlanga ubambe iqhaza elibalulekile ukugqugquzela leli siko. Nokho-ke kukhona ezinye izinhlaka ezigxeka leli siko, zithi zilwela amalungelo abantu besifazane.

Lo mkhosi ugunjwa ngenyanga kaZibandlela kwaNongoma esigondlweni seSilo.  Wenziwa ngesikhathi inyanga igcwele (full moon).  Lo mkhosi uqondene ngqo nabantu besilisa kuphela, ikakhulukazi izinsiswa ezingakabuthwa.   Lo mkhosi mdala KwaZulu naseSwazini.   Amalungiselelo okugujwa komkhosi aqala ngenyanga kaLwezi (November).  

=== '''Ukuchazela yesitshalo iselwa nokuhlobana kwaso nalo mkhosi''' ===
Iselwa igama eliyibizo lesithelo sesitshalo esithi asifane nethanga. Sithi uma sesivuthiwe kwenziwe ngaso amagula amasi, izigubhu zamanzi nezinkezo zokukha amanzi  noma utshwala. Abanye babiza bathi uselwa (uluselwa). Lesi sitshalo sithi asifane nezintanga futhi sikhula sinabe sikhiphe imilibe njengazo izintanga.  Likhula linabe bese likhipha izigubhu okuyizona ezibiza ngokuthi iselwa.

Ngamafuphi nje, kuningi okumsebenzi weselwa. Iselwa uma selivufuthiwe, liyalikha bese bayalomisa. Uma selomile baligweda phakathi bakhiphe imbewu kodwa inhloso kusuke kuwukwakha inkezo / ukhezo lokukha amanzi, ukwakha igula okungaba igula lamasi, igula lokugcina imuthi, kanye nokunye.  Kwenzeka kwenziwe amadoshi okufaka ugwayi.

Amabutho angena nayo esibayeni bese ayayizungeza eyisonta, ayiqhumise ithambo lesijungujungu. Iyabengwa. Umbengo unikwa inkosi ucwiliswe emithini enamandla. Inkosi imfimfithe iqatha ililahle. Imibengo iphonswa phezulu amabutho ayinqake, amfimfithe. Owele phansi awudliwa. [[Imbongi]] iqephuza inkosi bese imemezela ukuthi owezulu usedlile, ngakho izwe lingeshwama.

== Umlando ==
UMhlanga oxhumene nalo Mkhosi ngokomlando wuqalo oluthathwa njengomuthi wokuqala ukumila eNingizimu yezwe laseGibhithe [[I-Itiyopiya|eTopiya]]. Ngenxa yokuthathwa kwalo njengomuthi wokuqala, kukholelwa ukuthi uqalo wuhlanga lezwe olwaluhlanganisa iNingizimu neNyakatho yezwe laseGibhithe.

Lo mkhosi ususelwa emcimbini omdala odume ngokuthi wumchwasho. Umchwasho uchazwa ngokuthi isiko eliqondene nezintombi ezimsulwa ezingakahlangano nowesilisa ngokocansi.  Kulo mkhosi, izintombi zisuke ziqhakambisa ubuntombi bazo nokuveza ubuhle bazo.  

Lo mkhosi wabuye wavuselelwa kuleli lase[[IRiphabhuliki yaseNingizimu Afrika|Ningizimu Afrika]] emva kokunyamalala isikhathi eside. Lo mkhosi ugqama  noma uthuthuke emva kokuba indlovukazi Mantfombi MaDlamini Zulu (ongowokudabuka eSwatini) esegcagcele esizweni samaZulu. Ngokomlando, indlovukazi Mantfombi eyavuselela leli siko.

Lo mkhuba ugujwa njalo ngonyaka, enyangeni kaMandulo (September) esiGodlweni seNgonyama, [[Nongoma Local Municipality|eNyokeni kwaNongoma.]]

== Ukulungiselela KoMkhosi Womhlanga ==
Uma kuzogujwa uMkhosi wesizwe kuye kudingeke ukuba iSilo sizilungiselele ngokwanele. ISilo siye sixhumane naMakhosi esizwe asalala, sicele ukuba umcimbi ube yimpumelelo futhi kungabibikho mishophi eyehlayo sixhumana namakhosi esizwe asalala ngezindlela ezahlukene kungaba ngokomthandazo wayo wenkolo yobuKrestu noma ngokwesintu namasiko akhona. Ngakho-ke uma kuzogujwa uMkhosi Womhlanga iSilo siye singene emgonqweni ekuqaleni kwesonto lomkhosi. Ezinye izinhlelo zeNgonyama ziyama ngoba kusuke kufanele ibe sesigodlweni okuzogujelwa kuso umkhosi. Kuye kwenziwe konke okwesiko njengokugaywa kotshwala nokunye okuhambisana nokulungiselela nokubika umcimbi.Inhloso yokugoqa kweSilo ukucelela izintombi nezihambeli zomcimbi uhambo oluhle.

Kulo mcimbi,  kusuke kukhona abaqaphe isimo ukwenzela ukuthi uma kukhona okudinga ukungenelela kweNgonyama bakwazi ukuyobika ngokushesha. NoNdlunkulu beSilo kudingeke basondele esigodlweni okuzobanjelwa kuso uMkhosi Womhlanga.

== Izintombi namalungiselelo oMkhosi Womhlanga ==
Ngaphambi kokuba izintombi ziye eMkhosini Womhlanga ziyahlolwa ezifundeni lapho zisuka khona. Amatshitshi aya eMkhosini Womhlanga kufanele kube yilawo asethombile futhi ayalwa ukuthi kumele aziphathe kanjani uma esethombile. Lo Mhlanga othulwa eNgonyameni eNyokeni ugawulwa eMhlathuze enyakatho nelakwaZulu-Natali ngenxa yokuthi miningi kule ndawo.

== Ukuqokwa lweNkosazane okoyiyona ekha emhlanga wokuqala ==
Minyaka yonke iNgonyama iye iqoke iNkosazane yaseNdlunkulu okuyiyona ekha umhlanga wokuqala. Okubalulekile ngokuqokwa kweNkosazane ezophatha umhlanga ngalowo nyaka wukuthi kumele kube yileyo esuke ingene ebuntombini ngaphambi kokufika komcimbi woMkhosi Womhlanga. Ngaphambi kokuthi iNkosazane nethimba eliyokha umhlanga baphume, iNgonyama ibikela aMakhosi esizwe asakhothama neNdlunkulu bese icelela abaNtwana uhambo oluphephile. AbaNtwana baphuma ngoLwesithathu ebusuku bethubeleze njalo baze bayongenisa oBuka, emzini weNkosi yakwaBiyela.

=== Ekuseni ngoLwesine kwesakaBiyela Obuka ===
Ngaphambi kokuba abaNtwana baphume ngoLwesine ekuseni, iNkosi yakwaBiyela iye ibike abaNtwana, ibacelele ukuphepha endleleni. INkosi iye ihlabe imbuzi esibayeni bese kuthelwa iNkosazane ngenyongo. Le mbuzi ayiphekwa kodwa iNkosazane ibuyela nayo esigodlweni. Kuye kuhlatshwe inkomo ukuze ithimba eliphelezela iNkosazane nabaNtwana bathole okuya ngasethunjini. Izintombi zendawo ezisuke zilindele ithimba laseNdlunkulu emzini weNkosi nazo zihlatshelwa inkomo.

=== Ukukha Umhlanga (usuku uLwesine) ===
Emva kwesidlo sasekuseni izintombi zihuba ihubo bese zehlela Emfuleni ukuyokha Umhlanga. Owokuqala ukhiwa iNkosazane kanti uphathiswa okwezikhali zamaNtungwa. Umhlanga weNkosazane nabaNtwana ungena wodwa ebhasini, kuthi owezintombi zendawo ufakwe elolini. Izintombi zibuyela emzini weNkosi ( kwaBiyela) zilale,zivuke '''ngoLwesihlanu''' zibuyele esigodlweni zifike ziwubeke ngaphandle usuhlutshiwe, bese iNgonyama iyazemukela.  OweNkosazane wona ozomukelwa yiNgonyama, ulokhu uqashwe njalo ulinde usuku lwangoMgqibelo.

== Izifundo ezifundwa koMkhulu eNyokeni ==
Ngokujwayelekile izintombi eziqhamuka ezifundeni ezahlukene zifika esigodlweni ngoLwesihlanu. Kuye kuphume abaNtwana baseNdlunkulu bazemukele. AbaNtwana baye bahube babuye bafundise izintombi amanye amahubo ezingawazi: Ngalo uLwesihlanu ngemuva kokwamukelwa izintombi zithola ithuba lokugida zibuye zithole iziyalo zeSilo.  Kuye kunikezwe izifundo zokuziphatha ngobuqotho nezimilo ezinhle kubantu besifazane. Kulesi sikhathi esiphila kuso esikhungethwe yisifo sengculaza, izifundo ezinikezwa amatshitshi seziye zigcizelele ukuthi ucansi olungaphephile lungukufa uqobo. Kubuye kukhunjuzwe amatshitshi ngendlela okhokho bawo ababeziphatha ngayo: Ukunikeza lezi zifundo kwenziwa yibona abesifazane kuze kumbandakanye ngisho amakhosikazi angonina bayo iNgonyama.

== Ukugujwa koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
NgoMgqibelo izintombi zivuka ekuseni ziyogeza emfuleni zibuye sezivunule. Uma sezibuyile emfuleni ziye zimiswe ngezigaba ezifanele. Phambili kuma abaNtwana beSilo nabaNtwana baseNdlunkulu. Ngemuva kwabo kuma amatshitshi abhince umutsha, kuthi ngemuva kwaleli thimba kume amaqhikiza abhince umgcabha noma ivukusi noma yiluphi uhlobo lokubhinca kumele ngaphezulu kwalo izintombi zibhince umutsha otshengisa ukuthi ziyizintombi.

=== Imvunulo yezintombi ===
Imvunulo yezintombi yenhlukaniswe ngezigaba zayo ezine (4) kanje:

* Imvunulo yamajongosi izintombi ezingakaqomi
* Imvunulo yamaqhikiza okuyilezo eseziqomile
* Imvunulo eqondene nizingoduso okuyilezo esezigodusiwe noma eseziceliwe.
* Bese kuba nemvunulo yezinkehli okuyilezo esezilotsholiwe zaze zakhehlwa sezilinde umgcagco.

Zonke lezi zintombi zingamatshitshi kodwa imvunulo ezihlukanisa ngokwezigaba zazo. Yileso naleso sigaba sinemvunulo yaso. Zonke izintombi zisuke zivunule ngevunulo emiselwe noma eqondene nebanga elikuzo.  Akuvumekile ukuxuba imvunulo ngokwegaba.  

=== Amajongisi   ===
Amajongosi, amatshitshi awagqoki lutho ezinqeni kodwa kuba onomndindi nezingcubula. Lokhu kusuke kukhombisa ukuzigqaja kwawo amatshitshi ngemizimba yawo. Amabele awembozwa ngalutho ngoba lokho kwakungelona isiko lamaZulu. Ubona ngamabele amatshitshi azimponjwana emile ethe mpo nezinqe zakhona zithe du zingahambi zinyakaza. Ithanga lakhona liginqika amanzi ligcwele licwebezela.

INkosazane esuke iqokwe yiSilo iye ibisithatha umhlanga wokuqala iyowunika iSilo. ISilo sisuke silindele kanye nezimenywa esigodlweni ngenhla kwesibaya. Ngaphambi kokuba iSilo simukele umhlanga eNkosazaneni siye siqale siphule lowo wangonyaka odlule siwuhudulele eceleni. Lo Mhlanga usuke uncikiswe phakathi kwesigodlo nesibaya. Lokhu iSilo sikwenza kusasele amagxathu ambalwa ukuba iNkosazane ifike kuso. Emva kweNkosazane kulandela abanye abaNtwana kuze nezintombi. Konke lokhu izintombi zikwenza zihuba amahubo. Izintombi aziwubeki noma kanjani umhlanga kodwa ziwubeka ngokucophelela ngenxa yokuthi umele ubuntombi bazo.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Mbonambi, Herbert Bonginkosi. 2010. [https://uzspace.unizulu.ac.za/items/67b399f2-d9fe-4489-acf6-f52bb36ff929/full ''Ukuvuselelwa kwesiko lokuhlonipha entsheni ensundu ikakhulukazi esizweni sakwaZulu'']. University of Zululand.&lt;/ref&gt;

Uma sekuqediwe iSilo siphuma ngehubo kulandele izintombi kuyiwe enkundleni lapho siyokwethula khona inkulumo yosuku.

=== Amabutho asingethe iNgonyama ===
EMkhosini Womhlanga kuye kubekhona amabutho abesilisa akhapha iNgonyama uma isiya enkundleni lapho izintombi zizogubha khona uMkhosi Womhlanga. Amabutho aphatha izihlangu, amawisa nezinduku angene neNgonyama enkundleni kuhutshwa amahubo esiZulu.  Wonke amaZulu esilisa azokwethamela uMkhosi Womhlanga kudingeka avunule ngemvunulo yesiNtu.

Izivakashi azivunyelwa ukungena emigqeni yezintombi ezigubhayo zithathe izithombe ngendlela engahlelekile. Lokhu kungehlisa isithunzi nokubaluleka koMkhosi bese kuba sengathi yinkundla yokwenza inzuzo kanti kusuke kwakhiwa isizwe. Enkulumeni yayo iNgonyama iye income ukuziphatha ngobuqotho kwezintombi zakwaZulu. Phela izintombi ezigubha uMkhosi Womhlanga zisuke zihloliwe ukuthi zisaphelele yini. Ngakho-ke ukuzincoma kugqugquzela ukuthi ziqhubeke nokuziphatha kahle ukuze unyaka nonyaka zithole ithuba lokuzobukwa iNgonyama nesizwe sonke. ISilo siye sigcizelele ukubaluleka kokuziphatha kahle ukuze kunciphe ukufa kwabantu okudalwa yingculaza. Ukuphetha uMkhosi Womhlanga kwesinye isikhathi iSilo siye siqambe igama lebutho lezintombi ebezigubha uMkhosi.

== Ukubaluleka koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
UMkhosi Womhlanga ubamba iqhaza elibalulekile ngokugqugquzela izintombi ukuba zigcine ubuntombi bazo zize zifike esigabeni sokushada. Izifundo ezifundiswa izintombi esigodlweni ziyasiza ekuvikeleni ukukhulelwa kwezintombi nokuhaqwa yisifo sengculaza. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuvuselela amasiko esintu nokuzigqaja kwezintombi ngobuzwe nobuntombi bazo. Ukubuthwa okudalwa nguMkhosi Womhlanga negama elinikezwa ibutho lezintombi kugqugquzela ukuziphatha kahle ezintombini ngoba zingafuni igama lebutho lithunazeke.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;

Mkhosi Womhlanga uvuselela amasiko Amahle okuziphatha kwezintombi. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuthi uthole abangani abaziphethe kahle futhi ugqugquzeleke ukuqhubeka nokugcina ubuntombi bakho. Kuyavela engxoxweni nezintombi ezizigcinile ezihamba uMkhosi Womhlanga ukuthi ontanga bazo abazemukeli kahle. Empeleni ngisho nabanye abazali banomona ngoba ezabo izingane zingaziphethe kahle bese bezibhuqa lezi ezigcine ubuntombi bazo. UManqele (2007) uqhuba uthi: uma ukhuluma iqiniso futhi ungazenyezi ngobuwena ontanga bakho bagcina sebekuhlonipha.

Lokhu kuchaza ukuthi izintombi azifunde ukuzethemba zingabanaki abazigxekayo ngoba bafuna zifane nabo. Nabo laba abagxekayo bayafisa ukuzigcina beyizintombi nto kodwa bahlulwa ukumelana nengcindezi yontanga babo.

Ngosuku  lomkhosi, umgubho uqala ngomkhuleko lapho izinyosi zihaya iSilo esibusayo namakhosi amadala.  Ngalesi sikhathi abaselisa bame ngezinyawo, kuthule cwaka. Abasemame nezintombi bahleli phansi kuthulekile. Akekho ukukizayo/ olilizayo. Bavala ngeHubo leSiswe.

== Isiphetho ==
Ukuhloniphana phakathi kwezintombi nezinsizwa kwakuyinto ebalulekile endulo. Namhlanje abanye abantu besilisa abasabahloniphi abantu besifazane. Ukuhlukunyezwa kwabantu besifazane kudla umunyu kuleli lizwe. Ingcabhayi ilele kubazali nothisha ukuba bakugxilise emiqondweni yezingane zabafana ukuthi umuntu wesifazane uyahlonishwa.{{Opinion|September 2025}} 

Endulo izintombi zazingavunyelwa ukuba ziye emathuneni, namhlanje sekuwuthela wayeka usubona ngisho nojahidada emingcwabeni. Isiko lokugezwa ngomswani kwezintombi uma kade kushoniwe ekhaya alisanakwa. Kuhle ukuthi zibuye emasisweni, amasiko ayebumba isizwe abuyiswe.

Isiko lokubalekela lalilihle linikeza izintombi ithuba lokuzikhethela. Nokho kulesi sikhathi sanamhlanje mhlawumbe selingaba nenkinga ngoba abanye abantu sebalahlekelwa ubuntu. Kungenzeka ukuthi ithi intombi ibalekela umuntu bese eyinukubeza athi izilethe yona. Isiko lokuhlolwa kwezintombi libonakala liba nesasasa kulezi zinsuku. UMkhosi Womhlanga ubambe iqhaza elibalulekile ukugqugquzela leli siko. Nokho-ke kukhona ezinye izinhlaka ezigxeka leli siko, zithi zilwela amalungelo abantu besifazane.

Minyaka yonke iNgonyama iye iqoke iNkosazane yaseNdlunkulu okuyiyona ekha umhlanga wokuqala. Okubalulekile ngokuqokwa kweNkosazane ezophatha umhlanga ngalowo nyaka wukuthi kumele kube yileyo esuke ingene ebuntombini ngaphambi kokufika komcimbi woMkhosi Womhlanga. Ngaphambi kokuthi iNkosazane nethimba eliyokha umhlanga baphume, iNgonyama ibikela aMakhosi esizwe asakhothama neNdlunkulu bese icelela abaNtwana uhambo oluphephile. AbaNtwana baphuma ngoLwesithathu ebusuku bethubeleze njalo baze bayongenisa oBuka, emzini weNkosi yakwaBiyela.

=== Ekuseni ngoLwesine kwesakaBiyela Obuka ===
Ngaphambi kokuba abaNtwana baphume ngoLwesine ekuseni, iNkosi yakwaBiyela iye ibike abaNtwana, ibacelele ukuphepha endleleni. INkosi iye ihlabe imbuzi esibayeni bese kuthelwa iNkosazane ngenyongo. Le mbuzi ayiphekwa kodwa iNkosazane ibuyela nayo esigodlweni. Kuye kuhlatshwe inkomo ukuze ithimba eliphelezela iNkosazane nabaNtwana bathole okuya ngasethunjini. Izintombi zendawo ezisuke zilindele ithimba laseNdlunkulu emzini weNkosi nazo zihlatshelwa inkomo.

=== Ukukha Umhlanga (usuku uLwesine) ===
Emva kwesidlo sasekuseni izintombi zihuba ihubo bese zehlela Emfuleni ukuyokha Umhlanga. Owokuqala ukhiwa iNkosazane kanti uphathiswa okwezikhali zamaNtungwa. Umhlanga weNkosazane nabaNtwana ungena wodwa ebhasini, kuthi owezintombi zendawo ufakwe elolini. Izintombi zibuyela emzini weNkosi ( kwaBiyela) zilale,zivuke '''ngoLwesihlanu''' zibuyele esigodlweni zifike ziwubeke ngaphandle usuhlutshiwe, bese iNgonyama iyazemukela.  OweNkosazane wona ozomukelwa yiNgonyama, ulokhu uqashwe njalo ulinde usuku lwangoMgqibelo.

== Izifundo ezifundwa koMkhulu eNyokeni ==
Ngokujwayelekile izintombi eziqhamuka ezifundeni ezahlukene zifika esigodlweni ngoLwesihlanu. Kuye kuphume abaNtwana baseNdlunkulu bazemukele. AbaNtwana baye bahube babuye bafundise izintombi amanye amahubo ezingawazi: Ngalo uLwesihlanu ngemuva kokwamukelwa izintombi zithola ithuba lokugida zibuye zithole iziyalo zeSilo.  Kuye kunikezwe izifundo zokuziphatha ngobuqotho nezimilo ezinhle kubantu besifazane. Kulesi sikhathi esiphila kuso esikhungethwe yisifo sengculaza, izifundo ezinikezwa amatshitshi seziye zigcizelele ukuthi ucansi olungaphephile lungukufa uqobo. Kubuye kukhunjuzwe amatshitshi ngendlela okhokho bawo ababeziphatha ngayo: Ukunikeza lezi zifundo kwenziwa yibona abesifazane kuze kumbandakanye ngisho amakhosikazi angonina bayo iNgonyama.

== Ukugujwa koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
NgoMgqibelo izintombi zivuka ekuseni ziyogeza emfuleni zibuye sezivunule. Uma sezibuyile emfuleni ziye zimiswe ngezigaba ezifanele. Phambili kuma abaNtwana beSilo nabaNtwana baseNdlunkulu. Ngemuva kwabo kuma amatshitshi abhince umutsha, kuthi ngemuva kwaleli thimba kume amaqhikiza abhince umgcabha noma ivukusi noma yiluphi uhlobo lokubhinca kumele ngaphezulu kwalo izintombi zibhince umutsha otshengisa ukuthi ziyizintombi.

=== Imvunulo yezintombi ===
Imvunulo yezintombi yenhlukaniswe ngezigaba zayo ezine (4) kanje:

* Imvunulo yamajongosi izintombi ezingakaqomi
* Imvunulo yamaqhikiza okuyilezo eseziqomile
* Imvunulo eqondene nizingoduso okuyilezo esezigodusiwe noma eseziceliwe.
* Bese kuba nemvunulo yezinkehli okuyilezo esezilotsholiwe zaze zakhehlwa sezilinde umgcagco.

Zonke lezi zintombi zingamatshitshi kodwa imvunulo ezihlukanisa ngokwezigaba zazo. Yileso naleso sigaba sinemvunulo yaso. Zonke izintombi zisuke zivunule ngevunulo emiselwe noma eqondene nebanga elikuzo.  Akuvumekile ukuxuba imvunulo ngokwegaba.  

=== Amajongisi   ===
Amajongosi, amatshitshi awagqoki lutho ezinqeni kodwa kuba onomndindi nezingcubula. Lokhu kusuke kukhombisa ukuzigqaja kwawo amatshitshi ngemizimba yawo. Amabele awembozwa ngalutho ngoba lokho kwakungelona isiko lamaZulu. Ubona ngamabele amatshitshi azimponjwana emile ethe mpo nezinqe zakhona zithe du zingahambi zinyakaza. Ithanga lakhona liginqika amanzi ligcwele licwebezela.

INkosazane esuke iqokwe yiSilo iye ibisithatha umhlanga wokuqala iyowunika iSilo. ISilo sisuke silindele kanye nezimenywa esigodlweni ngenhla kwesibaya. Ngaphambi kokuba iSilo simukele umhlanga eNkosazaneni siye siqale siphule lowo wangonyaka odlule siwuhudulele eceleni. Lo Mhlanga usuke uncikiswe phakathi kwesigodlo nesibaya. Lokhu iSilo sikwenza kusasele amagxathu ambalwa ukuba iNkosazane ifike kuso. Emva kweNkosazane kulandela abanye abaNtwana kuze nezintombi. Konke lokhu izintombi zikwenza zihuba amahubo. Izintombi aziwubeki noma kanjani umhlanga kodwa ziwubeka ngokucophelela ngenxa yokuthi umele ubuntombi bazo.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Mbonambi, Herbert Bonginkosi. 2010.

University of Zululand.&lt;/ref&gt;

Uma sekuqediwe iSilo siphuma ngehubo kulandele izintombi kuyiwe enkundleni lapho siyokwethula khona inkulumo yosuku.

=== Amabutho asingethe iNgonyama ===
EMkhosini Womhlanga kuye kubekhona amabutho abesilisa akhapha iNgonyama uma isiya enkundleni lapho izintombi zizogubha khona uMkhosi Womhlanga. Amabutho aphatha izihlangu, amawisa nezinduku angene neNgonyama enkundleni kuhutshwa amahubo esiZulu.  Wonke amaZulu esilisa azokwethamela uMkhosi Womhlanga kudingeka avunule ngemvunulo yesiNtu.

Izivakashi azivunyelwa ukungena emigqeni yezintombi ezigubhayo zithathe izithombe ngendlela engahlelekile. Lokhu kungehlisa isithunzi nokubaluleka koMkhosi bese kuba sengathi yinkundla yokwenza inzuzo kanti kusuke kwakhiwa isizwe. Enkulumeni yayo iNgonyama iye income ukuziphatha ngobuqotho kwezintombi zakwaZulu. Phela izintombi ezigubha uMkhosi Womhlanga zisuke zihloliwe ukuthi zisaphelele yini. Ngakho-ke ukuzincoma kugqugquzela ukuthi ziqhubeke nokuziphatha kahle ukuze unyaka nonyaka zithole ithuba lokuzobukwa iNgonyama nesizwe sonke. ISilo siye sigcizelele ukubaluleka kokuziphatha kahle ukuze kunciphe ukufa kwabantu okudalwa yingculaza. Ukuphetha uMkhosi Womhlanga kwesinye isikhathi iSilo siye siqambe igama lebutho lezintombi ebezigubha uMkhosi.

== Ukubaluleka koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
UMkhosi Womhlanga ubamba iqhaza elibalulekile ngokugqugquzela izintombi ukuba zigcine ubuntombi bazo zize zifike esigabeni sokushada. Izifundo ezifundiswa izintombi esigodlweni ziyasiza ekuvikeleni ukukhulelwa kwezintombi nokuhaqwa yisifo sengculaza. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuvuselela amasiko esintu nokuzigqaja kwezintombi ngobuzwe nobuntombi bazo. Ukubuthwa okudalwa nguMkhosi Womhlanga negama elinikezwa ibutho lezintombi kugqugquzela ukuziphatha kahle ezintombini ngoba zingafuni igama lebutho lithunazeke.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;

Mkhosi Womhlanga uvuselela amasiko Amahle okuziphatha kwezintombi. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuthi uthole abangani abaziphethe kahle futhi ugqugquzeleke ukuqhubeka nokugcina ubuntombi bakho. Kuyavela engxoxweni nezintombi ezizigcinile ezihamba uMkhosi Womhlanga ukuthi ontanga bazo abazemukeli kahle. Empeleni ngisho nabanye abazali banomona ngoba ezabo izingane zingaziphethe kahle bese bezibhuqa lezi ezigcine ubuntombi bazo. UManqele (2007) uqhuba uthi: uma ukhuluma iqiniso futhi ungazenyezi ngobuwena ontanga bakho bagcina sebekuhlonipha.

Lokhu kuchaza ukuthi izintombi azifunde ukuzethemba zingabanaki abazigxekayo ngoba bafuna zifane nabo. Nabo laba abagxekayo bayafisa ukuzigcina beyizintombi nto kodwa bahlulwa ukumelana nengcindezi yontanga babo.

Ngosuku  lomkhosi, umgubho uqala ngomkhuleko lapho izinyosi zihaya iSilo esibusayo namakhosi amadala.  Ngalesi sikhathi abaselisa bame ngezinyawo, kuthule cwaka. Abasemame nezintombi bahleli phansi kuthulekile. Akekho ukukizayo/ olilizayo. Bavala ngeHubo leSiswe.

== Isiphetho ==
Ukuhloniphana phakathi kwezintombi nezinsizwa kwakuyinto ebalulekile endulo. Namhlanje abanye abantu besilisa abasabahloniphi abantu besifazane. Ukuhlukunyezwa kwabantu besifazane kudla umunyu kuleli lizwe. Ingcabhayi ilele kubazali nothisha ukuba bakugxilise emiqondweni yezingane zabafana ukuthi umuntu wesifazane uyahlonishwa.{{Opinion|September 2025}} 

Endulo izintombi zazingavunyelwa ukuba ziye emathuneni, namhlanje sekuwuthela wayeka usubona ngisho nojahidada emingcwabeni. Isiko lokugezwa ngomswani kwezintombi uma kade kushoniwe ekhaya alisanakwa. Kuhle ukuthi zibuye emasisweni, amasiko ayebumba isizwe abuyiswe.

Isiko lokubalekela lalilihle linikeza izintombi ithuba lokuzikhethela. Nokho kulesi sikhathi sanamhlanje mhlawumbe selingaba nenkinga ngoba abanye abantu sebalahlekelwa ubuntu. Kungenzeka ukuthi ithi intombi ibalekela umuntu bese eyinukubeza athi izilethe yona. Isiko lokuhlolwa kwezintombi libonakala liba nesasasa kulezi zinsuku. UMkhosi Womhlanga ubambe iqhaza elibalulekile ukugqugquzela leli siko. Nokho-ke kukhona ezinye izinhlaka ezigxeka leli siko, zithi zilwela amalungelo abantu besifazane.

'''Imikhosi yesizwe samaZulu''' iyimigubho ebanjwa kuwo wonke unyaka. Umkhosi owaziwa kakhulu yilowo obizwa ngokuthi Umkhosi womhlanga, lapho khona izintombi zihlangana ziyokha umhlanga. Emikhosini eminingi yakwaZulu, abantu bavunula bahlobengengqephu yesintu, kuba khona namabutho wesizwe samaZulu, futhi ngokuvamile lemikhosi iholwa iSilo sesizwe samaZulu. Ngokwesiko kuyahlatshwa kulemikhosi, kubulawe izinkomo nezimbuzi. Imikhosi yakwaZulu emikhulu ihlanganisa [[uMkhosi woMhlanga]], [[Umkhosi woselwa]], [[uMkhosi KaNomkhubulwane]], Umkhosi wokweshwama, Umkhosi wolibo, Umkhosi wamaganu.

== Umkhosi womhlanga==
Umkhosi Womhlanga umkhosi lapho izinkulungwane zezintombi zamaZulu zihlangana khona eNyokeni esigodlweni seNgonyama yamaZulu ngoMandulo unyaka nonyaka. Umkhosi womhlanga isiko lokukhuthaza ubumsulwa ezintombi nokuhlonishwa kwabesifazane abasebasha.Kanye Baye Befundiswe Nokuhlonipha bobuntombi.
UMhlanga oxhumene nalo Mkhosi ngokomlando wuqalo oluthathwa njengomuthi wokuqala ukumila eNingizimu yezwe laseGibhithe [[I-Itiyopiya|eTopiya]]. Ngenxa yokuthathwa kwalo njengomuthi wokuqala, kukholelwa ukuthi uqalo wuhlanga lezwe olwaluhlanganisa iNingizimu neNyakatho yezwe laseGibhithe.

Lo mkhosi ususelwa emcimbini omdala odume ngokuthi wumchwasho. Umchwasho uchazwa ngokuthi isiko eliqondene nezintombi ezimsulwa ezingakahlangano nowesilisa ngokocansi.  Kulo mkhosi, izintombi zisuke ziqhakambisa ubuntombi bazo nokuveza ubuhle bazo.  uMhlanga okhiwa yizintombi ezingamatshitshi emifuleni umele uHlanga Lwezwe. Ukwethulwa komhlanga eNgonyameni kuwuphawu lokugcizelela ukuthathwa kwayo njengoHlanga Lwezwe.

Lokhu kuchaza ukuchaza ukuthi intombi iyashesha ukwephuka noma ukulimala, kumele iphathwe ngokucophelela. Izintombi zifaniswa nalobo tshani kungakho kuthiwa umkhosi womhlanga. Lo mkhuba ugujwa njalo ngonyaka, enyangeni kaMandulo (September) esiGodlweni seNgonyama, [[Nongoma Local Municipality|eNyokeni kwaNongoma.]]

== Ukulungiselela KoMkhosi Womhlanga ==
Uma kuzogujwa uMkhosi wesizwe kuye kudingeke ukuba iSilo sizilungiselele ngokwanele. ISilo siye sixhumane naMakhosi esizwe asalala, sicele ukuba umcimbi ube yimpumelelo futhi kungabibikho mishophi eyehlayo sixhumana namakhosi esizwe asalala ngezindlela ezahlukene kungaba ngokomthandazo wayo wenkolo yobuKrestu noma ngokwesintu namasiko akhona. Ngakho-ke uma kuzogujwa uMkhosi Womhlanga iSilo siye singene emgonqweni ekuqaleni kwesonto lomkhosi. Ezinye izinhlelo zeNgonyama ziyama ngoba kusuke kufanele ibe sesigodlweni okuzogujelwa kuso umkhosi. Kuye kwenziwe konke okwesiko njengokugaywa kotshwala nokunye okuhambisana nokulungiselela nokubika umcimbi.Inhloso yokugoqa kweSilo ukucelela izintombi nezihambeli zomcimbi uhambo oluhle.

Kulo mcimbi,  kusuke kukhona abaqaphe isimo ukwenzela ukuthi uma kukhona okudinga ukungenelela kweNgonyama bakwazi ukuyobika ngokushesha. NoNdlunkulu beSilo kudingeke basondele esigodlweni okuzobanjelwa kuso uMkhosi Womhlanga.

== Izintombi namalungiselelo oMkhosi Womhlanga ==
Ngaphambi kokuba izintombi ziye eMkhosini Womhlanga ziyahlolwa ezifundeni lapho zisuka khona. Amatshitshi aya eMkhosini Womhlanga kufanele kube yilawo asethombile futhi ayalwa ukuthi kumele aziphathe kanjani uma esethombile. Lo Mhlanga othulwa eNgonyameni eNyokeni ugawulwa eMhlathuze enyakatho nelakwaZulu-Natali ngenxa yokuthi miningi kule ndawo.

Uma sekuqediwe iSilo siphuma ngehubo kulandele izintombi kuyiwe enkundleni lapho siyokwethula khona inkulumo yosuku.

=== Amabutho asingethe iNgonyama ===
EMkhosini Womhlanga kuye kubekhona amabutho abesilisa akhapha iNgonyama uma isiya enkundleni lapho izintombi zizogubha khona uMkhosi Womhlanga. Amabutho aphatha izihlangu, amawisa nezinduku angene neNgonyama enkundleni kuhutshwa amahubo esiZulu.  Wonke amaZulu esilisa azokwethamela uMkhosi Womhlanga kudingeka avunule ngemvunulo yesiNtu.

Izivakashi azivunyelwa ukungena emigqeni yezintombi ezigubhayo zithathe izithombe ngendlela engahlelekile. Lokhu kungehlisa isithunzi nokubaluleka koMkhosi bese kuba sengathi yinkundla yokwenza inzuzo kanti kusuke kwakhiwa isizwe. Enkulumeni yayo iNgonyama iye income ukuziphatha ngobuqotho kwezintombi zakwaZulu. Phela izintombi ezigubha uMkhosi Womhlanga zisuke zihloliwe ukuthi zisaphelele yini. Ngakho-ke ukuzincoma kugqugquzela ukuthi ziqhubeke nokuziphatha kahle ukuze unyaka nonyaka zithole ithuba lokuzobukwa iNgonyama nesizwe sonke. ISilo siye sigcizelele ukubaluleka kokuziphatha kahle ukuze kunciphe ukufa kwabantu okudalwa yingculaza. Ukuphetha uMkhosi Womhlanga kwesinye isikhathi iSilo siye siqambe igama lebutho lezintombi ebezigubha uMkhosi.

== Ukubaluleka koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
UMkhosi Womhlanga ubamba iqhaza elibalulekile ngokugqugquzela izintombi ukuba zigcine ubuntombi bazo zize zifike esigabeni sokushada. Izifundo ezifundiswa izintombi esigodlweni ziyasiza ekuvikeleni ukukhulelwa kwezintombi nokuhaqwa yisifo sengculaza.

Mkhosi Womhlanga uvuselela amasiko Amahle okuziphatha kwezintombi. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuthi uthole abangani abaziphethe kahle futhi ugqugquzeleke ukuqhubeka nokugcina ubuntombi bakho. Kuyavela engxoxweni nezintombi ezizigcinile ezihamba uMkhosi Womhlanga ukuthi ontanga bazo abazemukeli kahle. Empeleni ngisho nabanye abazali banomona ngoba ezabo izingane zingaziphethe kahle bese bezibhuqa lezi ezigcine ubuntombi bazo. UManqele (2007) uqhuba uthi: uma ukhuluma iqiniso futhi ungazenyezi ngobuwena ontanga bakho bagcina sebekuhlonipha.

Lokhu kuchaza ukuthi izintombi azifunde ukuzethemba zingabanaki abazigxekayo ngoba bafuna zifane nabo. Nabo laba abagxekayo bayafisa ukuzigcina beyizintombi nto kodwa bahlulwa ukumelana nengcindezi yontanga babo.

Ngosuku  lomkhosi, umgubho uqala ngomkhuleko lapho izinyosi zihaya iSilo esibusayo namakhosi amadala.  Ngalesi sikhathi abaselisa bame ngezinyawo, kuthule cwaka. Abasemame nezintombi bahleli phansi kuthulekile. Akekho ukukizayo/ olilizayo. Bavala ngeHubo leSiswe.

== Isiphetho ==
Ukuhloniphana phakathi kwezintombi nezinsizwa kwakuyinto ebalulekile endulo. Namhlanje abanye abantu besilisa abasabahloniphi abantu besifazane. Ukuhlukunyezwa kwabantu besifazane kudla umunyu kuleli lizwe. Ingcabhayi ilele kubazali nothisha ukuba bakugxilise emiqondweni yezingane zabafana ukuthi umuntu wesifazane uyahlonishwa.{{Opinion|September 2025}} 

Endulo izintombi zazingavunyelwa ukuba ziye emathuneni, namhlanje sekuwuthela wayeka usubona ngisho nojahidada emingcwabeni. Isiko lokugezwa ngomswani kwezintombi uma kade kushoniwe ekhaya alisanakwa. Kuhle ukuthi zibuye emasisweni, amasiko ayebumba isizwe abuyiswe.

Isiko lokubalekela lalilihle linikeza izintombi ithuba lokuzikhethela. Nokho kulesi sikhathi sanamhlanje mhlawumbe selingaba nenkinga ngoba abanye abantu sebalahlekelwa ubuntu. Kungenzeka ukuthi ithi intombi ibalekela umuntu bese eyinukubeza athi izilethe yona. Isiko lokuhlolwa kwezintombi libonakala liba nesasasa kulezi zinsuku. UMkhosi Womhlanga ubambe iqhaza elibalulekile ukugqugquzela leli siko. Nokho-ke kukhona ezinye izinhlaka ezigxeka leli siko, zithi zilwela amalungelo abantu besifazane.

'''Imikhosi yesizwe samaZulu''' iyimigubho ebanjwa kuwo wonke unyaka. Umkhosi owaziwa kakhulu yilowo obizwa ngokuthi Umkhosi womhlanga, lapho khona izintombi zihlangana ziyokha umhlanga. Emikhosini eminingi yakwaZulu, abantu bavunula bahlobengengqephu yesintu, kuba khona namabutho wesizwe samaZulu, futhi ngokuvamile lemikhosi iholwa iSilo sesizwe samaZulu. Ngokwesiko kuyahlatshwa kulemikhosi, kubulawe izinkomo nezimbuzi. Imikhosi yakwaZulu emikhulu ihlanganisa [[uMkhosi woMhlanga]], [[Umkhosi woselwa]], [[uMkhosi KaNomkhubulwane]], Umkhosi wokweshwama, Umkhosi wolibo, Umkhosi wamaganu.

== Umkhosi womhlanga==
[[File:South_africa_-_zulu_reed_dance_ceremony_(6563648943).jpg|thumb|Izintombi ziphethe umhlanga]]
Umkhosi Womhlanga umkhosi lapho izinkulungwane zezintombi zamaZulu zihlangana khona eNyokeni esigodlweni seNgonyama yamaZulu ngoMandulo unyaka nonyaka. Umkhosi womhlanga isiko lokukhuthaza ubumsulwa ezintombi nokuhlonishwa kwabesifazane abasebasha. Kanye baye befundiswe nokuhlonipha nokucondiza kobuntombi.
UMhlanga oxhumene nalo Mkhosi ngokomlando wuqalo oluthathwa njengomuthi wokuqala ukumila eNingizimu yezwe laseGibhithe [[I-Itiyopiya|eTopiya]]. Ngenxa yokuthathwa kwalo njengomuthi wokuqala, kukholelwa ukuthi uqalo wuhlanga lezwe olwaluhlanganisa iNingizimu neNyakatho yezwe laseGibhithe. [https://www.jstor.org/stable/24393056]  Leli siko lagqame kakhulu  ngeminyaka ye-[[Eswatini|1940 Eswatini]] ngaphansi kombuso kaSobhuza II. Izintombi zasuka kuzona zonke izindawo ezakhele izwe  [[Eswatini|laseSwazini]] zanikela eLudzidzini embuthanweni owathatha izinsuku eziyisishiyagalolunye&lt;ref&gt;Ngwenya, Emmanuel Themba. 2017. ''[https://uzspace.unizulu.ac.za/items/674f10cf-470b-4076-9fd4-6b713625d589 Ucwaningo ngesiko lenhlonipho njengensika yesizwe samaZulu]''. University of Zululand. &lt;/ref&gt;. Lo mkhosi ususelwa emcimbini omdala odume ngokuthi wumchwasho. Umchwasho uchazwa ngokuthi isiko eliqondene nezintombi ezimsulwa ezingakahlangano nowesilisa ngokocansi.  Kulo mkhosi, izintombi zisuke ziqhakambisa ubuntombi bazo nokuveza ubuhle bazo.  uMhlanga okhiwa yizintombi ezingamatshitshi emifuleni umele uHlanga Lwezwe. Ukwethulwa komhlanga eNgonyameni kuwuphawu lokugcizelela ukuthathwa kwayo njengoHlanga Lwezwe.&lt;ref&gt;Nkosi, G. S. (2013). ''Umkhosi Womhlanga (Reed Dance) as a tourism enterprise in KwaZulu-Natal: Perceptions, policies and practices'' (Doctoral dissertation, University of Zululand).&lt;/ref&gt;

Kafushane-nje, umhlanga  uhlobo lotshani noma isimila esimila sibe sihle emanzini kodwa esisheshayo ukwephuka uma sithola ukuthikamezwa noma sithinteka kabi. Lokhu kuchaza ukuchaza ukuthi intombi iyashesha ukwephuka noma ukulimala, kumele iphathwe ngokucophelela. Izintombi zifaniswa nalobo tshani kungakho kuthiwa umkhosi womhlanga. Lo mkhuba ugujwa njalo ngonyaka, enyangeni kaMandulo (September) esiGodlweni seNgonyama, [[Nongoma Local Municipality|eNyokeni kwaNongoma.]]

== Ukulungiselela KoMkhosi Womhlanga ==
Uma kuzogujwa uMkhosi wesizwe kuye kudingeke ukuba iSilo sizilungiselele ngokwanele. ISilo siye sixhumane naMakhosi esizwe asalala, sicele ukuba umcimbi ube yimpumelelo futhi kungabibikho mishophi eyehlayo sixhumana namakhosi esizwe asalala ngezindlela ezahlukene kungaba ngokomthandazo wayo wenkolo yobuKrestu noma ngokwesintu namasiko akhona. Ngakho-ke uma kuzogujwa uMkhosi Womhlanga iSilo siye singene emgonqweni ekuqaleni kwesonto lomkhosi. Ezinye izinhlelo zeNgonyama ziyama ngoba kusuke kufanele ibe sesigodlweni okuzogujelwa kuso umkhosi. Kuye kwenziwe konke okwesiko njengokugaywa kotshwala nokunye okuhambisana nokulungiselela nokubika umcimbi.Inhloso yokugoqa kweSilo ukucelela izintombi nezihambeli zomcimbi uhambo oluhle.

Kulo mcimbi,  kusuke kukhona abaqaphe isimo ukwenzela ukuthi uma kukhona okudinga ukungenelela kweNgonyama bakwazi ukuyobika ngokushesha. NoNdlunkulu beSilo kudingeke basondele esigodlweni okuzobanjelwa kuso uMkhosi Womhlanga.

== Izintombi namalungiselelo oMkhosi Womhlanga ==
Ngaphambi kokuba izintombi ziye eMkhosini Womhlanga ziyahlolwa ezifundeni lapho zisuka khona. Amatshitshi aya eMkhosini Womhlanga kufanele kube yilawo asethombile futhi ayalwa ukuthi kumele aziphathe kanjani uma esethombile. Lo Mhlanga othulwa eNgonyameni eNyokeni ugawulwa eMhlathuze enyakatho nelakwaZulu-Natali ngenxa yokuthi miningi kule ndawo.

== Ukuqokwa lweNkosazane okoyiyona ekha emhlanga wokuqala ==
Minyaka yonke iNgonyama iye iqoke iNkosazane yaseNdlunkulu okuyiyona ekha umhlanga wokuqala. Okubalulekile ngokuqokwa kweNkosazane ezophatha umhlanga ngalowo nyaka wukuthi kumele kube yileyo esuke ingene ebuntombini ngaphambi kokufika komcimbi woMkhosi Womhlanga. Ngaphambi kokuthi iNkosazane nethimba eliyokha umhlanga baphume, iNgonyama ibikela aMakhosi esizwe asakhothama neNdlunkulu bese icelela abaNtwana uhambo oluphephile. AbaNtwana baphuma ngoLwesithathu ebusuku bethubeleze njalo baze bayongenisa oBuka, emzini weNkosi yakwaBiyela.

=== Ekuseni ngoLwesine kwesakaBiyela Obuka ===
Ngaphambi kokuba abaNtwana baphume ngoLwesine ekuseni, iNkosi yakwaBiyela iye ibike abaNtwana, ibacelele ukuphepha endleleni. INkosi iye ihlabe imbuzi esibayeni bese kuthelwa iNkosazane ngenyongo. Le mbuzi ayiphekwa kodwa iNkosazane ibuyela nayo esigodlweni. Kuye kuhlatshwe inkomo ukuze ithimba eliphelezela iNkosazane nabaNtwana bathole okuya ngasethunjini. Izintombi zendawo ezisuke zilindele ithimba laseNdlunkulu emzini weNkosi nazo zihlatshelwa inkomo.

=== Ukukha Umhlanga (usuku uLwesine) ===
Emva kwesidlo sasekuseni izintombi zihuba ihubo bese zehlela Emfuleni ukuyokha Umhlanga. Owokuqala ukhiwa iNkosazane kanti uphathiswa okwezikhali zamaNtungwa. Umhlanga weNkosazane nabaNtwana ungena wodwa ebhasini, kuthi owezintombi zendawo ufakwe elolini. Izintombi zibuyela emzini weNkosi ( kwaBiyela) zilale,zivuke '''ngoLwesihlanu''' zibuyele esigodlweni zifike ziwubeke ngaphandle usuhlutshiwe, bese iNgonyama iyazemukela.  OweNkosazane wona ozomukelwa yiNgonyama, ulokhu uqashwe njalo ulinde usuku lwangoMgqibelo.

== Izifundo ezifundwa koMkhulu eNyokeni ==
Ngokujwayelekile izintombi eziqhamuka ezifundeni ezahlukene zifika esigodlweni ngoLwesihlanu. Kuye kuphume abaNtwana baseNdlunkulu bazemukele. AbaNtwana baye bahube babuye bafundise izintombi amanye amahubo ezingawazi: Ngalo uLwesihlanu ngemuva kokwamukelwa izintombi zithola ithuba lokugida zibuye zithole iziyalo zeSilo.  Kuye kunikezwe izifundo zokuziphatha ngobuqotho nezimilo ezinhle kubantu besifazane. Kulesi sikhathi esiphila kuso esikhungethwe yisifo sengculaza, izifundo ezinikezwa amatshitshi seziye zigcizelele ukuthi ucansi olungaphephile lungukufa uqobo. Kubuye kukhunjuzwe amatshitshi ngendlela okhokho bawo ababeziphatha ngayo: Ukunikeza lezi zifundo kwenziwa yibona abesifazane kuze kumbandakanye ngisho amakhosikazi angonina bayo iNgonyama.

== Ukugujwa koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
NgoMgqibelo izintombi zivuka ekuseni ziyogeza emfuleni zibuye sezivunule. Uma sezibuyile emfuleni ziye zimiswe ngezigaba ezifanele. Phambili kuma abaNtwana beSilo nabaNtwana baseNdlunkulu. Ngemuva kwabo kuma amatshitshi abhince umutsha, kuthi ngemuva kwaleli thimba kume amaqhikiza abhince umgcabha noma ivukusi noma yiluphi uhlobo lokubhinca kumele ngaphezulu kwalo izintombi zibhince umutsha otshengisa ukuthi ziyizintombi.

=== Imvunulo yezintombi ===
Imvunulo yezintombi yenhlukaniswe ngezigaba zayo ezine (4) kanje:

* Imvunulo yamajongosi izintombi ezingakaqomi
* Imvunulo yamaqhikiza okuyilezo eseziqomile
* Imvunulo eqondene nizingoduso okuyilezo esezigodusiwe noma eseziceliwe.
* Bese kuba nemvunulo yezinkehli okuyilezo esezilotsholiwe zaze zakhehlwa sezilinde umgcagco.

Zonke lezi zintombi zingamatshitshi kodwa imvunulo ezihlukanisa ngokwezigaba zazo. Yileso naleso sigaba sinemvunulo yaso. Zonke izintombi zisuke zivunule ngevunulo emiselwe noma eqondene nebanga elikuzo.  Akuvumekile ukuxuba imvunulo ngokwegaba.  

=== Amajongisi   ===
Amajongosi, amatshitshi awagqoki lutho ezinqeni kodwa kuba onomndindi nezingcubula. Lokhu kusuke kukhombisa ukuzigqaja kwawo amatshitshi ngemizimba yawo. Amabele awembozwa ngalutho ngoba lokho kwakungelona isiko lamaZulu. Ubona ngamabele amatshitshi azimponjwana emile ethe mpo nezinqe zakhona zithe du zingahambi zinyakaza. Ithanga lakhona liginqika amanzi ligcwele licwebezela.

INkosazane esuke iqokwe yiSilo iye ibisithatha umhlanga wokuqala iyowunika iSilo. ISilo sisuke silindele kanye nezimenywa esigodlweni ngenhla kwesibaya. Ngaphambi kokuba iSilo simukele umhlanga eNkosazaneni siye siqale siphule lowo wangonyaka odlule siwuhudulele eceleni. Lo Mhlanga usuke uncikiswe phakathi kwesigodlo nesibaya. Lokhu iSilo sikwenza kusasele amagxathu ambalwa ukuba iNkosazane ifike kuso. Emva kweNkosazane kulandela abanye abaNtwana kuze nezintombi. Konke lokhu izintombi zikwenza zihuba amahubo. Izintombi aziwubeki noma kanjani umhlanga kodwa ziwubeka ngokucophelela ngenxa yokuthi umele ubuntombi bazo.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Mbonambi, Herbert Bonginkosi. 2010. [https://uzspace.unizulu.ac.za/items/67b399f2-d9fe-4489-acf6-f52bb36ff929/full ''Ukuvuselelwa kwesiko lokuhlonipha entsheni ensundu ikakhulukazi esizweni sakwaZulu'']. University of Zululand.&lt;/ref&gt;

Uma sekuqediwe iSilo siphuma ngehubo kulandele izintombi kuyiwe enkundleni lapho siyokwethula khona inkulumo yosuku.

=== Amabutho asingethe iNgonyama ===
EMkhosini Womhlanga kuye kubekhona amabutho abesilisa akhapha iNgonyama uma isiya enkundleni lapho izintombi zizogubha khona uMkhosi Womhlanga. Amabutho aphatha izihlangu, amawisa nezinduku angene neNgonyama enkundleni kuhutshwa amahubo esiZulu.  Wonke amaZulu esilisa azokwethamela uMkhosi Womhlanga kudingeka avunule ngemvunulo yesiNtu.

Izivakashi azivunyelwa ukungena emigqeni yezintombi ezigubhayo zithathe izithombe ngendlela engahlelekile. Lokhu kungehlisa isithunzi nokubaluleka koMkhosi bese kuba sengathi yinkundla yokwenza inzuzo kanti kusuke kwakhiwa isizwe. Enkulumeni yayo iNgonyama iye income ukuziphatha ngobuqotho kwezintombi zakwaZulu. Phela izintombi ezigubha uMkhosi Womhlanga zisuke zihloliwe ukuthi zisaphelele yini. Ngakho-ke ukuzincoma kugqugquzela ukuthi ziqhubeke nokuziphatha kahle ukuze unyaka nonyaka zithole ithuba lokuzobukwa iNgonyama nesizwe sonke. ISilo siye sigcizelele ukubaluleka kokuziphatha kahle ukuze kunciphe ukufa kwabantu okudalwa yingculaza. Ukuphetha uMkhosi Womhlanga kwesinye isikhathi iSilo siye siqambe igama lebutho lezintombi ebezigubha uMkhosi.

== Ukubaluleka koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
UMkhosi Womhlanga ubamba iqhaza elibalulekile ngokugqugquzela izintombi ukuba zigcine ubuntombi bazo zize zifike esigabeni sokushada. Izifundo ezifundiswa izintombi esigodlweni ziyasiza ekuvikeleni ukukhulelwa kwezintombi nokuhaqwa yisifo sengculaza. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuvuselela amasiko esintu nokuzigqaja kwezintombi ngobuzwe nobuntombi bazo. Ukubuthwa okudalwa nguMkhosi Womhlanga negama elinikezwa ibutho lezintombi kugqugquzela ukuziphatha kahle ezintombini ngoba zingafuni igama lebutho lithunazeke.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;

Mkhosi Womhlanga uvuselela amasiko Amahle okuziphatha kwezintombi. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuthi uthole abangani abaziphethe kahle futhi ugqugquzeleke ukuqhubeka nokugcina ubuntombi bakho. Kuyavela engxoxweni nezintombi ezizigcinile ezihamba uMkhosi Womhlanga ukuthi ontanga bazo abazemukeli kahle. Empeleni ngisho nabanye abazali banomona ngoba ezabo izingane zingaziphethe kahle bese bezibhuqa lezi ezigcine ubuntombi bazo. UManqele (2007) uqhuba uthi: uma ukhuluma iqiniso futhi ungazenyezi ngobuwena ontanga bakho bagcina sebekuhlonipha.

Lokhu kuchaza ukuthi izintombi azifunde ukuzethemba zingabanaki abazigxekayo ngoba bafuna zifane nabo. Nabo laba abagxekayo bayafisa ukuzigcina beyizintombi nto kodwa bahlulwa ukumelana nengcindezi yontanga babo.

Ngosuku  lomkhosi, umgubho uqala ngomkhuleko lapho izinyosi zihaya iSilo esibusayo namakhosi amadala.  Ngalesi sikhathi abaselisa bame ngezinyawo, kuthule cwaka. Abasemame nezintombi bahleli phansi kuthulekile. Akekho ukukizayo/ olilizayo. Bavala ngeHubo leSiswe.

== Umkhosi womhlanga==
[[File:South_africa_-_zulu_reed_dance_ceremony_(6563648943).jpg|thumb|Izintombi ziphethe umhlanga]]
Umkhosi Womhlanga umkhosi lapho izinkulungwane zezintombi zamaZulu zihlangana khona eNyokeni esigodlweni seNgonyama yamaZulu ngoMandulo unyaka nonyaka. Umkhosi womhlanga isiko lokukhuthaza ubumsulwa ezintombi nokuhlonishwa kwabesifazane abasebasha. Kanye baye befundiswe nokuhlonipha nokucondiza kobuntombi.
UMhlanga oxhumene nalo Mkhosi ngokomlando wuqalo oluthathwa njengomuthi wokuqala ukumila eNingizimu yezwe laseGibhithe [[I-Itiyopiya|eTopiya]].

== Izintombi namalungiselelo oMkhosi Womhlanga ==
Ngaphambi kokuba izintombi ziye eMkhosini Womhlanga ziyahlolwa ezifundeni lapho zisuka khona. Amatshitshi aya eMkhosini Womhlanga kufanele kube yilawo asethombile futhi ayalwa ukuthi kumele aziphathe kanjani uma esethombile. Lo Mhlanga othulwa eNgonyameni eNyokeni ugawulwa eMhlathuze enyakatho nelakwaZulu-Natali ngenxa yokuthi miningi kule ndawo.

== Ukuqokwa lweNkosazane okoyiyona ekha emhlanga wokuqala ==
Minyaka yonke iNgonyama iye iqoke iNkosazane yaseNdlunkulu okuyiyona ekha umhlanga wokuqala. Okubalulekile ngokuqokwa kweNkosazane ezophatha umhlanga ngalowo nyaka wukuthi kumele kube yileyo esuke ingene ebuntombini ngaphambi kokufika komcimbi woMkhosi Womhlanga. Ngaphambi kokuthi iNkosazane nethimba eliyokha umhlanga baphume, iNgonyama ibikela aMakhosi esizwe asakhothama neNdlunkulu bese icelela abaNtwana uhambo oluphephile. AbaNtwana baphuma ngoLwesithathu ebusuku bethubeleze njalo baze bayongenisa oBuka, emzini weNkosi yakwaBiyela.

=== Ekuseni ngoLwesine kwesakaBiyela Obuka ===
Ngaphambi kokuba abaNtwana baphume ngoLwesine ekuseni, iNkosi yakwaBiyela iye ibike abaNtwana, ibacelele ukuphepha endleleni. INkosi iye ihlabe imbuzi esibayeni bese kuthelwa iNkosazane ngenyongo. Le mbuzi ayiphekwa kodwa iNkosazane ibuyela nayo esigodlweni. Kuye kuhlatshwe inkomo ukuze ithimba eliphelezela iNkosazane nabaNtwana bathole okuya ngasethunjini. Izintombi zendawo ezisuke zilindele ithimba laseNdlunkulu emzini weNkosi nazo zihlatshelwa inkomo.

=== Ukukha Umhlanga (usuku uLwesine) ===
Emva kwesidlo sasekuseni izintombi zihuba ihubo bese zehlela Emfuleni ukuyokha Umhlanga. Owokuqala ukhiwa iNkosazane kanti uphathiswa okwezikhali zamaNtungwa. Umhlanga weNkosazane nabaNtwana ungena wodwa ebhasini, kuthi owezintombi zendawo ufakwe elolini. Izintombi zibuyela emzini weNkosi ( kwaBiyela) zilale,zivuke '''ngoLwesihlanu''' zibuyele esigodlweni zifike ziwubeke ngaphandle usuhlutshiwe, bese iNgonyama iyazemukela.  OweNkosazane wona ozomukelwa yiNgonyama, ulokhu uqashwe njalo ulinde usuku lwangoMgqibelo.

== Izifundo ezifundwa koMkhulu eNyokeni ==
Ngokujwayelekile izintombi eziqhamuka ezifundeni ezahlukene zifika esigodlweni ngoLwesihlanu. Kuye kuphume abaNtwana baseNdlunkulu bazemukele. AbaNtwana baye bahube babuye bafundise izintombi amanye amahubo ezingawazi: Ngalo uLwesihlanu ngemuva kokwamukelwa izintombi zithola ithuba lokugida zibuye zithole iziyalo zeSilo.  Kuye kunikezwe izifundo zokuziphatha ngobuqotho nezimilo ezinhle kubantu besifazane. Kulesi sikhathi esiphila kuso esikhungethwe yisifo sengculaza, izifundo ezinikezwa amatshitshi seziye zigcizelele ukuthi ucansi olungaphephile lungukufa uqobo. Kubuye kukhunjuzwe amatshitshi ngendlela okhokho bawo ababeziphatha ngayo: Ukunikeza lezi zifundo kwenziwa yibona abesifazane kuze kumbandakanye ngisho amakhosikazi angonina bayo iNgonyama.

== Ukugujwa koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
NgoMgqibelo izintombi zivuka ekuseni ziyogeza emfuleni zibuye sezivunule. Uma sezibuyile emfuleni ziye zimiswe ngezigaba ezifanele. Phambili kuma abaNtwana beSilo nabaNtwana baseNdlunkulu. Ngemuva kwabo kuma amatshitshi abhince umutsha, kuthi ngemuva kwaleli thimba kume amaqhikiza abhince umgcabha noma ivukusi noma yiluphi uhlobo lokubhinca kumele ngaphezulu kwalo izintombi zibhince umutsha otshengisa ukuthi ziyizintombi.

=== Imvunulo yezintombi ===
Imvunulo yezintombi yenhlukaniswe ngezigaba zayo ezine (4) kanje:

* Imvunulo yamajongosi izintombi ezingakaqomi
* Imvunulo yamaqhikiza okuyilezo eseziqomile
* Imvunulo eqondene nizingoduso okuyilezo esezigodusiwe noma eseziceliwe.
* Bese kuba nemvunulo yezinkehli okuyilezo esezilotsholiwe zaze zakhehlwa sezilinde umgcagco.

Zonke lezi zintombi zingamatshitshi kodwa imvunulo ezihlukanisa ngokwezigaba zazo. Yileso naleso sigaba sinemvunulo yaso. Zonke izintombi zisuke zivunule ngevunulo emiselwe noma eqondene nebanga elikuzo.  Akuvumekile ukuxuba imvunulo ngokwegaba.  

=== Amajongisi   ===
Amajongosi, amatshitshi awagqoki lutho ezinqeni kodwa kuba onomndindi nezingcubula. Lokhu kusuke kukhombisa ukuzigqaja kwawo amatshitshi ngemizimba yawo. Amabele awembozwa ngalutho ngoba lokho kwakungelona isiko lamaZulu. Ubona ngamabele amatshitshi azimponjwana emile ethe mpo nezinqe zakhona zithe du zingahambi zinyakaza. Ithanga lakhona liginqika amanzi ligcwele licwebezela.

INkosazane esuke iqokwe yiSilo iye ibisithatha umhlanga wokuqala iyowunika iSilo. ISilo sisuke silindele kanye nezimenywa esigodlweni ngenhla kwesibaya. Ngaphambi kokuba iSilo simukele umhlanga eNkosazaneni siye siqale siphule lowo wangonyaka odlule siwuhudulele eceleni. Lo Mhlanga usuke uncikiswe phakathi kwesigodlo nesibaya. Lokhu iSilo sikwenza kusasele amagxathu ambalwa ukuba iNkosazane ifike kuso. Emva kweNkosazane kulandela abanye abaNtwana kuze nezintombi. Konke lokhu izintombi zikwenza zihuba amahubo. Izintombi aziwubeki noma kanjani umhlanga kodwa ziwubeka ngokucophelela ngenxa yokuthi umele ubuntombi bazo.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Mbonambi, Herbert Bonginkosi. 2010.

University of Zululand.&lt;/ref&gt;

Uma sekuqediwe iSilo siphuma ngehubo kulandele izintombi kuyiwe enkundleni lapho siyokwethula khona inkulumo yosuku.

=== Amabutho asingethe iNgonyama ===
EMkhosini Womhlanga kuye kubekhona amabutho abesilisa akhapha iNgonyama uma isiya enkundleni lapho izintombi zizogubha khona uMkhosi Womhlanga. Amabutho aphatha izihlangu, amawisa nezinduku angene neNgonyama enkundleni kuhutshwa amahubo esiZulu.  Wonke amaZulu esilisa azokwethamela uMkhosi Womhlanga kudingeka avunule ngemvunulo yesiNtu.

Izivakashi azivunyelwa ukungena emigqeni yezintombi ezigubhayo zithathe izithombe ngendlela engahlelekile. Lokhu kungehlisa isithunzi nokubaluleka koMkhosi bese kuba sengathi yinkundla yokwenza inzuzo kanti kusuke kwakhiwa isizwe. Enkulumeni yayo iNgonyama iye income ukuziphatha ngobuqotho kwezintombi zakwaZulu. Phela izintombi ezigubha uMkhosi Womhlanga zisuke zihloliwe ukuthi zisaphelele yini. Ngakho-ke ukuzincoma kugqugquzela ukuthi ziqhubeke nokuziphatha kahle ukuze unyaka nonyaka zithole ithuba lokuzobukwa iNgonyama nesizwe sonke. ISilo siye sigcizelele ukubaluleka kokuziphatha kahle ukuze kunciphe ukufa kwabantu okudalwa yingculaza. Ukuphetha uMkhosi Womhlanga kwesinye isikhathi iSilo siye siqambe igama lebutho lezintombi ebezigubha uMkhosi.

== Ukubaluleka koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
UMkhosi Womhlanga ubamba iqhaza elibalulekile ngokugqugquzela izintombi ukuba zigcine ubuntombi bazo zize zifike esigabeni sokushada. Izifundo ezifundiswa izintombi esigodlweni ziyasiza ekuvikeleni ukukhulelwa kwezintombi nokuhaqwa yisifo sengculaza. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuvuselela amasiko esintu nokuzigqaja kwezintombi ngobuzwe nobuntombi bazo. Ukubuthwa okudalwa nguMkhosi Womhlanga negama elinikezwa ibutho lezintombi kugqugquzela ukuziphatha kahle ezintombini ngoba zingafuni igama lebutho lithunazeke.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;

Mkhosi Womhlanga uvuselela amasiko Amahle okuziphatha kwezintombi. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuthi uthole abangani abaziphethe kahle futhi ugqugquzeleke ukuqhubeka nokugcina ubuntombi bakho. Kuyavela engxoxweni nezintombi ezizigcinile ezihamba uMkhosi Womhlanga ukuthi ontanga bazo abazemukeli kahle. Empeleni ngisho nabanye abazali banomona ngoba ezabo izingane zingaziphethe kahle bese bezibhuqa lezi ezigcine ubuntombi bazo. UManqele (2007) uqhuba uthi: uma ukhuluma iqiniso futhi ungazenyezi ngobuwena ontanga bakho bagcina sebekuhlonipha.

Lokhu kuchaza ukuthi izintombi azifunde ukuzethemba zingabanaki abazigxekayo ngoba bafuna zifane nabo. Nabo laba abagxekayo bayafisa ukuzigcina beyizintombi nto kodwa bahlulwa ukumelana nengcindezi yontanga babo.

Ngosuku  lomkhosi, umgubho uqala ngomkhuleko lapho izinyosi zihaya iSilo esibusayo namakhosi amadala.  Ngalesi sikhathi abaselisa bame ngezinyawo, kuthule cwaka. Abasemame nezintombi bahleli phansi kuthulekile. Akekho ukukizayo/ olilizayo. Bavala ngeHubo leSiswe.

== Isiphetho ==
Ukuhloniphana phakathi kwezintombi nezinsizwa kwakuyinto ebalulekile endulo. Namhlanje abanye abantu besilisa abasabahloniphi abantu besifazane. Ukuhlukunyezwa kwabantu besifazane kudla umunyu kuleli lizwe. Ingcabhayi ilele kubazali nothisha ukuba bakugxilise emiqondweni yezingane zabafana ukuthi umuntu wesifazane uyahlonishwa.{{Opinion|September 2025}} 

Endulo izintombi zazingavunyelwa ukuba ziye emathuneni, namhlanje sekuwuthela wayeka usubona ngisho nojahidada emingcwabeni. Isiko lokugezwa ngomswani kwezintombi uma kade kushoniwe ekhaya alisanakwa. Kuhle ukuthi zibuye emasisweni, amasiko ayebumba isizwe abuyiswe.

Isiko lokubalekela lalilihle linikeza izintombi ithuba lokuzikhethela. Nokho kulesi sikhathi sanamhlanje mhlawumbe selingaba nenkinga ngoba abanye abantu sebalahlekelwa ubuntu. Kungenzeka ukuthi ithi intombi ibalekela umuntu bese eyinukubeza athi izilethe yona. Isiko lokuhlolwa kwezintombi libonakala liba nesasasa kulezi zinsuku. UMkhosi Womhlanga ubambe iqhaza elibalulekile ukugqugquzela leli siko. Nokho-ke kukhona ezinye izinhlaka ezigxeka leli siko, zithi zilwela amalungelo abantu besifazane.

'''Imikhosi yesizwe samaZulu''' iyimigubho ebanjwa kuwo wonke unyaka. Umkhosi owaziwa kakhulu yilowo obizwa ngokuthi Umkhosi womhlanga, lapho khona izintombi zihlangana ziyokha umhlanga. Emikhosini eminingi yakwaZulu, abantu bavunula bahlobengengqephu yesintu, kuba khona namabutho wesizwe samaZulu, futhi ngokuvamile lemikhosi iholwa iSilo sesizwe samaZulu. Ngokwesiko kuyahlatshwa kulemikhosi, kubulawe izinkomo nezimbuzi. Imikhosi yakwaZulu emikhulu ihlanganisa [[uMkhosi woMhlanga]], [[Umkhosi woselwa]], [[uMkhosi KaNomkhubulwane]], Umkhosi wokweshwama, Umkhosi wolibo, Umkhosi wamaganu.

== Umkhosi womhlanga==
[[File:South_africa_-_zulu_reed_dance_ceremony_(6563648943).jpg|thumb|Izintombi ziphethe umhlanga]]
Umkhosi Womhlanga umkhosi lapho izinkulungwane zezintombi zamaZulu zihlangana khona eNyokeni esigodlweni seNgonyama yamaZulu ngoMandulo unyaka nonyaka. Umkhosi womhlanga isiko lokukhuthaza ubumsulwa ezintombi nokuhlonishwa kwabesifazane abasebasha. Kanye baye befundiswe nokuhlonipha nokucondiza kobuntombi.
UMhlanga oxhumene nalo Mkhosi ngokomlando wuqalo oluthathwa njengomuthi wokuqala ukumila eNingizimu yezwe laseGibhithe [[I-Itiyopiya|eTopiya]]. Ngenxa yokuthathwa kwalo njengomuthi wokuqala, kukholelwa ukuthi uqalo wuhlanga lezwe olwaluhlanganisa iNingizimu neNyakatho yezwe laseGibhithe.

Lo mkhosi ususelwa emcimbini omdala odume ngokuthi wumchwasho. Umchwasho uchazwa ngokuthi isiko eliqondene nezintombi ezimsulwa ezingakahlangano nowesilisa ngokocansi.  Kulo mkhosi, izintombi zisuke ziqhakambisa ubuntombi bazo nokuveza ubuhle bazo.  uMhlanga okhiwa yizintombi ezingamatshitshi emifuleni umele uHlanga Lwezwe.

==Umkhosi woselwa==
UMkhosi woSelwa noma uMkhosi wokweShwama uwumthandazo wesizwe wokubongwa  uMvelingangi/ uMvelikuqali ngemvula, inala nokugcina abantu abadala (omkhulu nogogo) abayinqolobane yesizwe mayelana ngolwazi nokuhlakanipha abaludlisa esizikulwaneni.  Bayinqolobane nomthombo womlando, amasiko nokunye okuningi.

Lo mkhosi ugunjwa ngenyanga kaZibandlela kwaNongoma esigodlweni seSilo.  Wenziwa ngesikhathi inyanga igcwele (full moon).  Lo mkhosi uqondene ngqo nabantu besilisa kuphela, ikakhulukazi izinsizwa ezingakabuthwa.  Lo mkhosi mdala KwaZulu naseSwazini.  Amalungiselelo okugujwa komkhosi aqala ngenyanga kaLwezi (November).

== Izintombi namalungiselelo oMkhosi Womhlanga ==
Ngaphambi kokuba izintombi ziye eMkhosini Womhlanga ziyahlolwa ezifundeni lapho zisuka khona. Amatshitshi aya eMkhosini Womhlanga kufanele kube yilawo asethombile futhi ayalwa ukuthi kumele aziphathe kanjani uma esethombile.

=== Amabutho asingethe iNgonyama ===
EMkhosini Womhlanga kuye kubekhona amabutho abesilisa akhapha iNgonyama uma isiya enkundleni lapho izintombi zizogubha khona uMkhosi Womhlanga. Amabutho aphatha izihlangu, amawisa nezinduku angene neNgonyama enkundleni kuhutshwa amahubo esiZulu.  Wonke amaZulu esilisa azokwethamela uMkhosi Womhlanga kudingeka avunule ngemvunulo yesiNtu.

Izivakashi azivunyelwa ukungena emigqeni yezintombi ezigubhayo zithathe izithombe ngendlela engahlelekile. Lokhu kungehlisa isithunzi nokubaluleka koMkhosi bese kuba sengathi yinkundla yokwenza inzuzo kanti kusuke kwakhiwa isizwe.

Ngakho-ke ukuzincoma kugqugquzela ukuthi ziqhubeke nokuziphatha kahle ukuze unyaka nonyaka zithole ithuba lokuzobukwa iNgonyama nesizwe sonke. ISilo siye sigcizelele ukubaluleka kokuziphatha kahle ukuze kunciphe ukufa kwabantu okudalwa yingculaza. Ukuphetha uMkhosi Womhlanga kwesinye isikhathi iSilo siye siqambe igama lebutho lezintombi ebezigubha uMkhosi.

== Ukubaluleka koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
UMkhosi Womhlanga ubamba iqhaza elibalulekile ngokugqugquzela izintombi ukuba zigcine ubuntombi bazo zize zifike esigabeni sokushada. Izifundo ezifundiswa izintombi esigodlweni ziyasiza ekuvikeleni ukukhulelwa kwezintombi nokuhaqwa yisifo sengculaza. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuvuselela amasiko esintu nokuzigqaja kwezintombi ngobuzwe nobuntombi bazo.

Mkhosi Womhlanga uvuselela amasiko Amahle okuziphatha kwezintombi. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuthi uthole abangani abaziphethe kahle futhi ugqugquzeleke ukuqhubeka nokugcina ubuntombi bakho. Kuyavela engxoxweni nezintombi ezizigcinile ezihamba uMkhosi Womhlanga ukuthi ontanga bazo abazemukeli kahle. Empeleni ngisho nabanye abazali banomona ngoba ezabo izingane zingaziphethe kahle bese bezibhuqa lezi ezigcine ubuntombi bazo. UManqele (2007) uqhuba uthi: uma ukhuluma iqiniso futhi ungazenyezi ngobuwena ontanga bakho bagcina sebekuhlonipha.

Lokhu kuchaza ukuthi izintombi azifunde ukuzethemba zingabanaki abazigxekayo ngoba bafuna zifane nabo. Nabo laba abagxekayo bayafisa ukuzigcina beyizintombi nto kodwa bahlulwa ukumelana nengcindezi yontanga babo.

Ngosuku  lomkhosi, umgubho uqala ngomkhuleko lapho izinyosi zihaya iSilo esibusayo namakhosi amadala.  Ngalesi sikhathi abaselisa bame ngezinyawo, kuthule cwaka. Abasemame nezintombi bahleli phansi kuthulekile. Akekho ukukizayo/ olilizayo. Bavala ngeHubo leSiswe.

== Isiphetho ==
Ukuhloniphana phakathi kwezintombi nezinsizwa kwakuyinto ebalulekile endulo. Namhlanje abanye abantu besilisa abasabahloniphi abantu besifazane. Ukuhlukunyezwa kwabantu besifazane kudla umunyu kuleli lizwe. Ingcabhayi ilele kubazali nothisha ukuba bakugxilise emiqondweni yezingane zabafana ukuthi umuntu wesifazane uyahlonishwa.{{Opinion|September 2025}} 

Endulo izintombi zazingavunyelwa ukuba ziye emathuneni, namhlanje sekuwuthela wayeka usubona ngisho nojahidada emingcwabeni. Isiko lokugezwa ngomswani kwezintombi uma kade kushoniwe ekhaya alisanakwa. Kuhle ukuthi zibuye emasisweni, amasiko ayebumba isizwe abuyiswe.

Isiko lokubalekela lalilihle linikeza izintombi ithuba lokuzikhethela. Nokho kulesi sikhathi sanamhlanje mhlawumbe selingaba nenkinga ngoba abanye abantu sebalahlekelwa ubuntu. Kungenzeka ukuthi ithi intombi ibalekela umuntu bese eyinukubeza athi izilethe yona. Isiko lokuhlolwa kwezintombi libonakala liba nesasasa kulezi zinsuku. UMkhosi Womhlanga ubambe iqhaza elibalulekile ukugqugquzela leli siko. Nokho-ke kukhona ezinye izinhlaka ezigxeka leli siko, zithi zilwela amalungelo abantu besifazane.

[[File:South_africa_-_zulu_reed_dance_ceremony_(6563648943).jpg|thumb|Izintombi ziphethe umhlanga]]
Umkhosi Womhlanga umkhosi lapho izinkulungwane zezintombi zamaZulu zihlangana khona eNyokeni esigodlweni seNgonyama yamaZulu ngoMandulo unyaka nonyaka. Umkhosi womhlanga isiko lokukhuthaza ubumsulwa ezintombi nokuhlonishwa kwabesifazane abasebasha. Kanye baye befundiswe nokuhlonipha nokucondiza kobuntombi.
UMhlanga oxhumene nalo Mkhosi ngokomlando wuqalo oluthathwa njengomuthi wokuqala ukumila eNingizimu yezwe laseGibhithe [[I-Itiyopiya|eTopiya]]. Ngenxa yokuthathwa kwalo njengomuthi wokuqala, kukholelwa ukuthi uqalo wuhlanga lezwe olwaluhlanganisa iNingizimu neNyakatho yezwe laseGibhithe.

==Umkhosi woselwa==
[[File:A_large_and_small_calabash_the_stadium_at_SK_Fest_2024_01.jpg|thumb]]
UMkhosi woSelwa noma uMkhosi wokweShwama uwumthandazo wesizwe wokubongwa  uMvelingangi/ uMvelikuqali ngemvula, inala nokugcina abantu abadala (omkhulu nogogo) abayinqolobane yesizwe mayelana ngolwazi nokuhlakanipha abaludlisa esizikulwaneni.  Bayinqolobane nomthombo womlando, amasiko nokunye okuningi. Iselwa igama eliyibizo lesithelo sesitshalo esithi asifane nethanga. Sithi uma sesivuthiwe kwenziwe ngaso amagula amasi, izigubhu zamanzi nezinkezo zokukha amanzi  noma utshwala. Abanye babiza bathi uselwa (uluselwa). Lesi sitshalo sithi asifane nezintanga futhi sikhula sinabe sikhiphe imilibo njengazo izintanga.  Likhula linabe bese likhipha izigubhu okuyizona ezibiza ngokuthi iselwa. Iselwa liyaphekwa kwenziwe ingqeke, kwesinye isikhathi liphekwa ndawonye nethanga.  Lesi sitshalo  siyigugu esizweni samaZulu.  Sitshalwa ehlobo noma enkwindla uma sekufike isikhathi sokufaka immbila phansi, izintanga, amabele nemfe nokunye okutshalwa emasimini.  

Lo mkhosi ugujwa ngenyanga kaZibandlela kwaNongoma esigodlweni seSilo.  Wenziwa ngesikhathi inyanga igcwele (full moon).  Lo mkhosi uqondene ngqo nabantu besilisa kuphela, ikakhulukazi izinsizwa ezingakabuthwa.  Lo mkhosi mdala KwaZulu naseSwazini.  Amalungiselelo okugujwa komkhosi aqala ngenyanga kaLwezi (November).

== Izintombi namalungiselelo oMkhosi Womhlanga ==
Ngaphambi kokuba izintombi ziye eMkhosini Womhlanga ziyahlolwa ezifundeni lapho zisuka khona. Amatshitshi aya eMkhosini Womhlanga kufanele kube yilawo asethombile futhi ayalwa ukuthi kumele aziphathe kanjani uma esethombile. Lo Mhlanga othulwa eNgonyameni eNyokeni ugawulwa eMhlathuze enyakatho nelakwaZulu-Natali ngenxa yokuthi miningi kule ndawo.

== Ukuqokwa lweNkosazane okoyiyona ekha emhlanga wokuqala ==
Minyaka yonke iNgonyama iye iqoke iNkosazane yaseNdlunkulu okuyiyona ekha umhlanga wokuqala. Okubalulekile ngokuqokwa kweNkosazane ezophatha umhlanga ngalowo nyaka wukuthi kumele kube yileyo esuke ingene ebuntombini ngaphambi kokufika komcimbi woMkhosi Womhlanga. Ngaphambi kokuthi iNkosazane nethimba eliyokha umhlanga baphume, iNgonyama ibikela aMakhosi esizwe asakhothama neNdlunkulu bese icelela abaNtwana uhambo oluphephile. AbaNtwana baphuma ngoLwesithathu ebusuku bethubeleze njalo baze bayongenisa oBuka, emzini weNkosi yakwaBiyela.

=== Ekuseni ngoLwesine kwesakaBiyela Obuka ===
Ngaphambi kokuba abaNtwana baphume ngoLwesine ekuseni, iNkosi yakwaBiyela iye ibike abaNtwana, ibacelele ukuphepha endleleni. INkosi iye ihlabe imbuzi esibayeni bese kuthelwa iNkosazane ngenyongo. Le mbuzi ayiphekwa kodwa iNkosazane ibuyela nayo esigodlweni. Kuye kuhlatshwe inkomo ukuze ithimba eliphelezela iNkosazane nabaNtwana bathole okuya ngasethunjini. Izintombi zendawo ezisuke zilindele ithimba laseNdlunkulu emzini weNkosi nazo zihlatshelwa inkomo.

=== Ukukha Umhlanga (usuku uLwesine) ===
Emva kwesidlo sasekuseni izintombi zihuba ihubo bese zehlela Emfuleni ukuyokha Umhlanga. Owokuqala ukhiwa iNkosazane kanti uphathiswa okwezikhali zamaNtungwa. Umhlanga weNkosazane nabaNtwana ungena wodwa ebhasini, kuthi owezintombi zendawo ufakwe elolini. Izintombi zibuyela emzini weNkosi ( kwaBiyela) zilale,zivuke '''ngoLwesihlanu''' zibuyele esigodlweni zifike ziwubeke ngaphandle usuhlutshiwe, bese iNgonyama iyazemukela.  OweNkosazane wona ozomukelwa yiNgonyama, ulokhu uqashwe njalo ulinde usuku lwangoMgqibelo.

== Izifundo ezifundwa koMkhulu eNyokeni ==
Ngokujwayelekile izintombi eziqhamuka ezifundeni ezahlukene zifika esigodlweni ngoLwesihlanu. Kuye kuphume abaNtwana baseNdlunkulu bazemukele. AbaNtwana baye bahube babuye bafundise izintombi amanye amahubo ezingawazi: Ngalo uLwesihlanu ngemuva kokwamukelwa izintombi zithola ithuba lokugida zibuye zithole iziyalo zeSilo.  Kuye kunikezwe izifundo zokuziphatha ngobuqotho nezimilo ezinhle kubantu besifazane. Kulesi sikhathi esiphila kuso esikhungethwe yisifo sengculaza, izifundo ezinikezwa amatshitshi seziye zigcizelele ukuthi ucansi olungaphephile lungukufa uqobo. Kubuye kukhunjuzwe amatshitshi ngendlela okhokho bawo ababeziphatha ngayo: Ukunikeza lezi zifundo kwenziwa yibona abesifazane kuze kumbandakanye ngisho amakhosikazi angonina bayo iNgonyama.

== Ukugujwa koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
NgoMgqibelo izintombi zivuka ekuseni ziyogeza emfuleni zibuye sezivunule. Uma sezibuyile emfuleni ziye zimiswe ngezigaba ezifanele. Phambili kuma abaNtwana beSilo nabaNtwana baseNdlunkulu. Ngemuva kwabo kuma amatshitshi abhince umutsha, kuthi ngemuva kwaleli thimba kume amaqhikiza abhince umgcabha noma ivukusi noma yiluphi uhlobo lokubhinca kumele ngaphezulu kwalo izintombi zibhince umutsha otshengisa ukuthi ziyizintombi.

=== Imvunulo yezintombi ===
Imvunulo yezintombi yenhlukaniswe ngezigaba zayo ezine (4) kanje:

* Imvunulo yamajongosi izintombi ezingakaqomi
* Imvunulo yamaqhikiza okuyilezo eseziqomile
* Imvunulo eqondene nizingoduso okuyilezo esezigodusiwe noma eseziceliwe.
* Bese kuba nemvunulo yezinkehli okuyilezo esezilotsholiwe zaze zakhehlwa sezilinde umgcagco.

Zonke lezi zintombi zingamatshitshi kodwa imvunulo ezihlukanisa ngokwezigaba zazo. Yileso naleso sigaba sinemvunulo yaso. Zonke izintombi zisuke zivunule ngevunulo emiselwe noma eqondene nebanga elikuzo.  Akuvumekile ukuxuba imvunulo ngokwegaba.  

=== Amajongisi   ===
Amajongosi, amatshitshi awagqoki lutho ezinqeni kodwa kuba onomndindi nezingcubula. Lokhu kusuke kukhombisa ukuzigqaja kwawo amatshitshi ngemizimba yawo. Amabele awembozwa ngalutho ngoba lokho kwakungelona isiko lamaZulu. Ubona ngamabele amatshitshi azimponjwana emile ethe mpo nezinqe zakhona zithe du zingahambi zinyakaza. Ithanga lakhona liginqika amanzi ligcwele licwebezela.

INkosazane esuke iqokwe yiSilo iye ibisithatha umhlanga wokuqala iyowunika iSilo. ISilo sisuke silindele kanye nezimenywa esigodlweni ngenhla kwesibaya. Ngaphambi kokuba iSilo simukele umhlanga eNkosazaneni siye siqale siphule lowo wangonyaka odlule siwuhudulele eceleni. Lo Mhlanga usuke uncikiswe phakathi kwesigodlo nesibaya. Lokhu iSilo sikwenza kusasele amagxathu ambalwa ukuba iNkosazane ifike kuso. Emva kweNkosazane kulandela abanye abaNtwana kuze nezintombi. Konke lokhu izintombi zikwenza zihuba amahubo. Izintombi aziwubeki noma kanjani umhlanga kodwa ziwubeka ngokucophelela ngenxa yokuthi umele ubuntombi bazo.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Mbonambi, Herbert Bonginkosi. 2010. [https://uzspace.unizulu.ac.za/items/67b399f2-d9fe-4489-acf6-f52bb36ff929/full ''Ukuvuselelwa kwesiko lokuhlonipha entsheni ensundu ikakhulukazi esizweni sakwaZulu'']. University of Zululand.&lt;/ref&gt;

Uma sekuqediwe iSilo siphuma ngehubo kulandele izintombi kuyiwe enkundleni lapho siyokwethula khona inkulumo yosuku.

=== Amabutho asingethe iNgonyama ===
EMkhosini Womhlanga kuye kubekhona amabutho abesilisa akhapha iNgonyama uma isiya enkundleni lapho izintombi zizogubha khona uMkhosi Womhlanga. Amabutho aphatha izihlangu, amawisa nezinduku angene neNgonyama enkundleni kuhutshwa amahubo esiZulu.  Wonke amaZulu esilisa azokwethamela uMkhosi Womhlanga kudingeka avunule ngemvunulo yesiNtu.

Izivakashi azivunyelwa ukungena emigqeni yezintombi ezigubhayo zithathe izithombe ngendlela engahlelekile. Lokhu kungehlisa isithunzi nokubaluleka koMkhosi bese kuba sengathi yinkundla yokwenza inzuzo kanti kusuke kwakhiwa isizwe. Enkulumeni yayo iNgonyama iye income ukuziphatha ngobuqotho kwezintombi zakwaZulu. Phela izintombi ezigubha uMkhosi Womhlanga zisuke zihloliwe ukuthi zisaphelele yini. Ngakho-ke ukuzincoma kugqugquzela ukuthi ziqhubeke nokuziphatha kahle ukuze unyaka nonyaka zithole ithuba lokuzobukwa iNgonyama nesizwe sonke. ISilo siye sigcizelele ukubaluleka kokuziphatha kahle ukuze kunciphe ukufa kwabantu okudalwa yingculaza. Ukuphetha uMkhosi Womhlanga kwesinye isikhathi iSilo siye siqambe igama lebutho lezintombi ebezigubha uMkhosi.

== Ukubaluleka koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
UMkhosi Womhlanga ubamba iqhaza elibalulekile ngokugqugquzela izintombi ukuba zigcine ubuntombi bazo zize zifike esigabeni sokushada. Izifundo ezifundiswa izintombi esigodlweni ziyasiza ekuvikeleni ukukhulelwa kwezintombi nokuhaqwa yisifo sengculaza. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuvuselela amasiko esintu nokuzigqaja kwezintombi ngobuzwe nobuntombi bazo. Ukubuthwa okudalwa nguMkhosi Womhlanga negama elinikezwa ibutho lezintombi kugqugquzela ukuziphatha kahle ezintombini ngoba zingafuni igama lebutho lithunazeke.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;

Mkhosi Womhlanga uvuselela amasiko Amahle okuziphatha kwezintombi. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuthi uthole abangani abaziphethe kahle futhi ugqugquzeleke ukuqhubeka nokugcina ubuntombi bakho. Kuyavela engxoxweni nezintombi ezizigcinile ezihamba uMkhosi Womhlanga ukuthi ontanga bazo abazemukeli kahle. Empeleni ngisho nabanye abazali banomona ngoba ezabo izingane zingaziphethe kahle bese bezibhuqa lezi ezigcine ubuntombi bazo.

Iselwa liyaphekwa kwenziwe ingqeke, kwesinye isikhathi liphekwa ndawonye nethanga.  Lesi sitshalo  siyigugu esizweni samaZulu.  Sitshalwa ehlobo noma enkwindla uma sekufike isikhathi sokufaka immbila phansi, izintanga, amabele nemfe nokunye okutshalwa emasimini.  

Lo mkhosi ugujwa ngenyanga kaZibandlela kwaNongoma esigodlweni seSilo.  Wenziwa ngesikhathi inyanga igcwele (full moon).  Lo mkhosi uqondene ngqo nabantu besilisa kuphela, ikakhulukazi izinsizwa ezingakabuthwa.  Lo mkhosi mdala KwaZulu naseSwazini.  Amalungiselelo okugujwa komkhosi aqala ngenyanga kaLwezi (November).

== Umkhosi kaNomkhubulwane==
UNomkhubulwane inkosazane yesizwe samaZulu okukholelwa ukuthi iyona elawula ukutshalwa nesivuno emasimini, iphinde ilawule ubuntombi ezintombini noma ebantwini besifazane.  Kunenkolelo yokuthi le nkosazane iletha inhlanhla ebantwini besifazane okubalwa kona ukugana kanye nesipho sokuthola abantwana.

Lo mkhosi ungumkhuluko wesizwe lapho  kucelwa khona imvula, inala, inzalo,  nokuthula ezweni. ISilo saMabandla, uNgangezwelakhe wavuselela leli siko waqoka isizwe sakwaSokhulu ukuba yisona esisingatha lo msebenzi. Isigubhu seNkosazane silandwa khona endaweni yakwaSokhulu.

== Ukuqokwa lweNkosazane okoyiyona ekha emhlanga wokuqala ==
Minyaka yonke iNgonyama iye iqoke iNkosazane yaseNdlunkulu okuyiyona ekha umhlanga wokuqala. Okubalulekile ngokuqokwa kweNkosazane ezophatha umhlanga ngalowo nyaka wukuthi kumele kube yileyo esuke ingene ebuntombini ngaphambi kokufika komcimbi woMkhosi Womhlanga. Ngaphambi kokuthi iNkosazane nethimba eliyokha umhlanga baphume, iNgonyama ibikela aMakhosi esizwe asakhothama neNdlunkulu bese icelela abaNtwana uhambo oluphephile. AbaNtwana baphuma ngoLwesithathu ebusuku bethubeleze njalo baze bayongenisa oBuka, emzini weNkosi yakwaBiyela.

=== Ekuseni ngoLwesine kwesakaBiyela Obuka ===
Ngaphambi kokuba abaNtwana baphume ngoLwesine ekuseni, iNkosi yakwaBiyela iye ibike abaNtwana, ibacelele ukuphepha endleleni. INkosi iye ihlabe imbuzi esibayeni bese kuthelwa iNkosazane ngenyongo. Le mbuzi ayiphekwa kodwa iNkosazane ibuyela nayo esigodlweni. Kuye kuhlatshwe inkomo ukuze ithimba eliphelezela iNkosazane nabaNtwana bathole okuya ngasethunjini. Izintombi zendawo ezisuke zilindele ithimba laseNdlunkulu emzini weNkosi nazo zihlatshelwa inkomo.

=== Ukukha Umhlanga (usuku uLwesine) ===
Emva kwesidlo sasekuseni izintombi zihuba ihubo bese zehlela Emfuleni ukuyokha Umhlanga. Owokuqala ukhiwa iNkosazane kanti uphathiswa okwezikhali zamaNtungwa. Umhlanga weNkosazane nabaNtwana ungena wodwa ebhasini, kuthi owezintombi zendawo ufakwe elolini. Izintombi zibuyela emzini weNkosi ( kwaBiyela) zilale,zivuke '''ngoLwesihlanu''' zibuyele esigodlweni zifike ziwubeke ngaphandle usuhlutshiwe, bese iNgonyama iyazemukela.  OweNkosazane wona ozomukelwa yiNgonyama, ulokhu uqashwe njalo ulinde usuku lwangoMgqibelo.

== Izifundo ezifundwa koMkhulu eNyokeni ==
Ngokujwayelekile izintombi eziqhamuka ezifundeni ezahlukene zifika esigodlweni ngoLwesihlanu. Kuye kuphume abaNtwana baseNdlunkulu bazemukele. AbaNtwana baye bahube babuye bafundise izintombi amanye amahubo ezingawazi: Ngalo uLwesihlanu ngemuva kokwamukelwa izintombi zithola ithuba lokugida zibuye zithole iziyalo zeSilo.  Kuye kunikezwe izifundo zokuziphatha ngobuqotho nezimilo ezinhle kubantu besifazane. Kulesi sikhathi esiphila kuso esikhungethwe yisifo sengculaza, izifundo ezinikezwa amatshitshi seziye zigcizelele ukuthi ucansi olungaphephile lungukufa uqobo. Kubuye kukhunjuzwe amatshitshi ngendlela okhokho bawo ababeziphatha ngayo: Ukunikeza lezi zifundo kwenziwa yibona abesifazane kuze kumbandakanye ngisho amakhosikazi angonina bayo iNgonyama.

== Ukugujwa koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
NgoMgqibelo izintombi zivuka ekuseni ziyogeza emfuleni zibuye sezivunule. Uma sezibuyile emfuleni ziye zimiswe ngezigaba ezifanele. Phambili kuma abaNtwana beSilo nabaNtwana baseNdlunkulu. Ngemuva kwabo kuma amatshitshi abhince umutsha, kuthi ngemuva kwaleli thimba kume amaqhikiza abhince umgcabha noma ivukusi noma yiluphi uhlobo lokubhinca kumele ngaphezulu kwalo izintombi zibhince umutsha otshengisa ukuthi ziyizintombi.

=== Imvunulo yezintombi ===
Imvunulo yezintombi yenhlukaniswe ngezigaba zayo ezine (4) kanje:

* Imvunulo yamajongosi izintombi ezingakaqomi
* Imvunulo yamaqhikiza okuyilezo eseziqomile
* Imvunulo eqondene nizingoduso okuyilezo esezigodusiwe noma eseziceliwe.
* Bese kuba nemvunulo yezinkehli okuyilezo esezilotsholiwe zaze zakhehlwa sezilinde umgcagco.

Zonke lezi zintombi zingamatshitshi kodwa imvunulo ezihlukanisa ngokwezigaba zazo. Yileso naleso sigaba sinemvunulo yaso. Zonke izintombi zisuke zivunule ngevunulo emiselwe noma eqondene nebanga elikuzo.  Akuvumekile ukuxuba imvunulo ngokwegaba.  

=== Amajongisi   ===
Amajongosi, amatshitshi awagqoki lutho ezinqeni kodwa kuba onomndindi nezingcubula. Lokhu kusuke kukhombisa ukuzigqaja kwawo amatshitshi ngemizimba yawo. Amabele awembozwa ngalutho ngoba lokho kwakungelona isiko lamaZulu. Ubona ngamabele amatshitshi azimponjwana emile ethe mpo nezinqe zakhona zithe du zingahambi zinyakaza. Ithanga lakhona liginqika amanzi ligcwele licwebezela.

INkosazane esuke iqokwe yiSilo iye ibisithatha umhlanga wokuqala iyowunika iSilo. ISilo sisuke silindele kanye nezimenywa esigodlweni ngenhla kwesibaya. Ngaphambi kokuba iSilo simukele umhlanga eNkosazaneni siye siqale siphule lowo wangonyaka odlule siwuhudulele eceleni. Lo Mhlanga usuke uncikiswe phakathi kwesigodlo nesibaya. Lokhu iSilo sikwenza kusasele amagxathu ambalwa ukuba iNkosazane ifike kuso. Emva kweNkosazane kulandela abanye abaNtwana kuze nezintombi. Konke lokhu izintombi zikwenza zihuba amahubo. Izintombi aziwubeki noma kanjani umhlanga kodwa ziwubeka ngokucophelela ngenxa yokuthi umele ubuntombi bazo.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Mbonambi, Herbert Bonginkosi. 2010.

University of Zululand.&lt;/ref&gt;

Uma sekuqediwe iSilo siphuma ngehubo kulandele izintombi kuyiwe enkundleni lapho siyokwethula khona inkulumo yosuku.

=== Amabutho asingethe iNgonyama ===
EMkhosini Womhlanga kuye kubekhona amabutho abesilisa akhapha iNgonyama uma isiya enkundleni lapho izintombi zizogubha khona uMkhosi Womhlanga. Amabutho aphatha izihlangu, amawisa nezinduku angene neNgonyama enkundleni kuhutshwa amahubo esiZulu.  Wonke amaZulu esilisa azokwethamela uMkhosi Womhlanga kudingeka avunule ngemvunulo yesiNtu.

Izivakashi azivunyelwa ukungena emigqeni yezintombi ezigubhayo zithathe izithombe ngendlela engahlelekile. Lokhu kungehlisa isithunzi nokubaluleka koMkhosi bese kuba sengathi yinkundla yokwenza inzuzo kanti kusuke kwakhiwa isizwe. Enkulumeni yayo iNgonyama iye income ukuziphatha ngobuqotho kwezintombi zakwaZulu. Phela izintombi ezigubha uMkhosi Womhlanga zisuke zihloliwe ukuthi zisaphelele yini. Ngakho-ke ukuzincoma kugqugquzela ukuthi ziqhubeke nokuziphatha kahle ukuze unyaka nonyaka zithole ithuba lokuzobukwa iNgonyama nesizwe sonke. ISilo siye sigcizelele ukubaluleka kokuziphatha kahle ukuze kunciphe ukufa kwabantu okudalwa yingculaza. Ukuphetha uMkhosi Womhlanga kwesinye isikhathi iSilo siye siqambe igama lebutho lezintombi ebezigubha uMkhosi.

== Ukubaluleka koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
UMkhosi Womhlanga ubamba iqhaza elibalulekile ngokugqugquzela izintombi ukuba zigcine ubuntombi bazo zize zifike esigabeni sokushada. Izifundo ezifundiswa izintombi esigodlweni ziyasiza ekuvikeleni ukukhulelwa kwezintombi nokuhaqwa yisifo sengculaza. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuvuselela amasiko esintu nokuzigqaja kwezintombi ngobuzwe nobuntombi bazo. Ukubuthwa okudalwa nguMkhosi Womhlanga negama elinikezwa ibutho lezintombi kugqugquzela ukuziphatha kahle ezintombini ngoba zingafuni igama lebutho lithunazeke.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;

Mkhosi Womhlanga uvuselela amasiko Amahle okuziphatha kwezintombi. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuthi uthole abangani abaziphethe kahle futhi ugqugquzeleke ukuqhubeka nokugcina ubuntombi bakho. Kuyavela engxoxweni nezintombi ezizigcinile ezihamba uMkhosi Womhlanga ukuthi ontanga bazo abazemukeli kahle. Empeleni ngisho nabanye abazali banomona ngoba ezabo izingane zingaziphethe kahle bese bezibhuqa lezi ezigcine ubuntombi bazo. UManqele (2007) uqhuba uthi: uma ukhuluma iqiniso futhi ungazenyezi ngobuwena ontanga bakho bagcina sebekuhlonipha.

Lokhu kuchaza ukuthi izintombi azifunde ukuzethemba zingabanaki abazigxekayo ngoba bafuna zifane nabo. Nabo laba abagxekayo bayafisa ukuzigcina beyizintombi nto kodwa bahlulwa ukumelana nengcindezi yontanga babo.

Ngosuku  lomkhosi, umgubho uqala ngomkhuleko lapho izinyosi zihaya iSilo esibusayo namakhosi amadala.  Ngalesi sikhathi abaselisa bame ngezinyawo, kuthule cwaka. Abasemame nezintombi bahleli phansi kuthulekile. Akekho ukukizayo/ olilizayo. Bavala ngeHubo leSiswe.

== Isiphetho ==
Ukuhloniphana phakathi kwezintombi nezinsizwa kwakuyinto ebalulekile endulo. Namhlanje abanye abantu besilisa abasabahloniphi abantu besifazane. Ukuhlukunyezwa kwabantu besifazane kudla umunyu kuleli lizwe. Ingcabhayi ilele kubazali nothisha ukuba bakugxilise emiqondweni yezingane zabafana ukuthi umuntu wesifazane uyahlonishwa.{{Opinion|September 2025}} 

Endulo izintombi zazingavunyelwa ukuba ziye emathuneni, namhlanje sekuwuthela wayeka usubona ngisho nojahidada emingcwabeni. Isiko lokugezwa ngomswani kwezintombi uma kade kushoniwe ekhaya alisanakwa. Kuhle ukuthi zibuye emasisweni, amasiko ayebumba isizwe abuyiswe.

Isiko lokubalekela lalilihle linikeza izintombi ithuba lokuzikhethela. Nokho kulesi sikhathi sanamhlanje mhlawumbe selingaba nenkinga ngoba abanye abantu sebalahlekelwa ubuntu. Kungenzeka ukuthi ithi intombi ibalekela umuntu bese eyinukubeza athi izilethe yona. Isiko lokuhlolwa kwezintombi libonakala liba nesasasa kulezi zinsuku. UMkhosi Womhlanga ubambe iqhaza elibalulekile ukugqugquzela leli siko. Nokho-ke kukhona ezinye izinhlaka ezigxeka leli siko, zithi zilwela amalungelo abantu besifazane.

'''Imikhosi yesizwe samaZulu''' iyimigubho ebanjwa kuwo wonke unyaka. Umkhosi owaziwa kakhulu yilowo obizwa ngokuthi Umkhosi womhlanga, lapho khona izintombi zihlangana ziyokha umhlanga. Emikhosini eminingi yakwaZulu, abantu bavunula bahlobengengqephu yesintu, kuba khona namabutho wesizwe samaZulu, futhi ngokuvamile lemikhosi iholwa iSilo sesizwe samaZulu. Ngokwesiko kuyahlatshwa kulemikhosi, kubulawe izinkomo nezimbuzi. Imikhosi yakwaZulu emikhulu ihlanganisa [[uMkhosi woMhlanga]], [[UMkhosi woSelwa]], [[uMkhosi KaNomkhubulwane]], Umkhosi WeLembe, Umkhosi Wamaganu, Umkhosi Wesivivane.

== Umkhosi womhlanga==
[[File:South_africa_-_zulu_reed_dance_ceremony_(6563648943).jpg|thumb|Izintombi ziphethe umhlanga]]
Umkhosi Womhlanga umkhosi lapho izinkulungwane zezintombi zamaZulu zihlangana khona eNyokeni esigodlweni seNgonyama yamaZulu ngoMandulo unyaka nonyaka. Umkhosi womhlanga isiko lokukhuthaza ubumsulwa ezintombi nokuhlonishwa kwabesifazane abasebasha. Kanye baye befundiswe nokuhlonipha nokucondiza kobuntombi.
UMhlanga oxhumene nalo Mkhosi ngokomlando wuqalo oluthathwa njengomuthi wokuqala ukumila eNingizimu yezwe laseGibhithe [[I-Itiyopiya|eTopiya]]. Ngenxa yokuthathwa kwalo njengomuthi wokuqala, kukholelwa ukuthi uqalo wuhlanga lezwe olwaluhlanganisa iNingizimu neNyakatho yezwe laseGibhithe.

UMkhosi woSelwa noma uMkhosi wokweShwama uwumthandazo wesizwe wokubongwa  uMvelingangi/ uMvelikuqali ngemvula, inala nokugcina abantu abadala (omkhulu nogogo) abayinqolobane yesizwe mayelana ngolwazi nokuhlakanipha abaludlisa esizikulwaneni.  Bayinqolobane nomthombo womlando, amasiko nokunye okuningi. Iselwa igama eliyibizo lesithelo sesitshalo esithi asifane nethanga. Sithi uma sesivuthiwe kwenziwe ngaso amagula amasi, izigubhu zamanzi nezinkezo zokukha amanzi  noma utshwala. Abanye babiza bathi uselwa (uluselwa). Lesi sitshalo sithi asifane nezintanga futhi sikhula sinabe sikhiphe imilibo njengazo izintanga.  Likhula linabe bese likhipha izigubhu okuyizona ezibiza ngokuthi iselwa.

Lo mkhosi ugujwa ngenyanga kaZibandlela kwaNongoma esigodlweni seSilo.  Wenziwa ngesikhathi inyanga igcwele (full moon).  Lo mkhosi uqondene ngqo nabantu besilisa kuphela, ikakhulukazi izinsizwa ezingakabuthwa.  Lo mkhosi mdala KwaZulu naseSwazini.  Amalungiselelo okugujwa komkhosi aqala ngenyanga kaLwezi (November).

== Umkhosi kaNomkhubulwane==
UNomkhubulwane inkosazane yesizwe samaZulu okukholelwa ukuthi iyona elawula ukutshalwa nesivuno emasimini, iphinde ilawule ubuntombi ezintombini noma ebantwini besifazane.  Kunenkolelo yokuthi le nkosazane iletha inhlanhla ebantwini besifazane okubalwa kona ukugana kanye nesipho sokuthola abantwana.

Lo mkhosi ungumkhuluko wesizwe lapho  kucelwa khona imvula, inala, inzalo,  nokuthula ezweni. ISilo saMabandla, uNgangezwelakhe wavuselela leli siko waqoka isizwe sakwaSokhulu ukuba yisona esisingatha lo msebenzi. Isigubhu seNkosazane silandwa khona endaweni yakwaSokhulu.

== Ukuqokwa lweNkosazane okoyiyona ekha emhlanga wokuqala ==
Minyaka yonke iNgonyama iye iqoke iNkosazane yaseNdlunkulu okuyiyona ekha umhlanga wokuqala. Okubalulekile ngokuqokwa kweNkosazane ezophatha umhlanga ngalowo nyaka wukuthi kumele kube yileyo esuke ingene ebuntombini ngaphambi kokufika komcimbi woMkhosi Womhlanga. Ngaphambi kokuthi iNkosazane nethimba eliyokha umhlanga baphume, iNgonyama ibikela aMakhosi esizwe asakhothama neNdlunkulu bese icelela abaNtwana uhambo oluphephile. AbaNtwana baphuma ngoLwesithathu ebusuku bethubeleze njalo baze bayongenisa oBuka, emzini weNkosi yakwaBiyela.

=== Ekuseni ngoLwesine kwesakaBiyela Obuka ===
Ngaphambi kokuba abaNtwana baphume ngoLwesine ekuseni, iNkosi yakwaBiyela iye ibike abaNtwana, ibacelele ukuphepha endleleni. INkosi iye ihlabe imbuzi esibayeni bese kuthelwa iNkosazane ngenyongo.

Izintombi zendawo ezisuke zilindele ithimba laseNdlunkulu emzini weNkosi nazo zihlatshelwa inkomo.

=== Ukukha Umhlanga (usuku uLwesine) ===
Emva kwesidlo sasekuseni izintombi zihuba ihubo bese zehlela Emfuleni ukuyokha Umhlanga. Owokuqala ukhiwa iNkosazane kanti uphathiswa okwezikhali zamaNtungwa. Umhlanga weNkosazane nabaNtwana ungena wodwa ebhasini, kuthi owezintombi zendawo ufakwe elolini. Izintombi zibuyela emzini weNkosi ( kwaBiyela) zilale,zivuke '''ngoLwesihlanu''' zibuyele esigodlweni zifike ziwubeke ngaphandle usuhlutshiwe, bese iNgonyama iyazemukela.  OweNkosazane wona ozomukelwa yiNgonyama, ulokhu uqashwe njalo ulinde usuku lwangoMgqibelo.

== Izifundo ezifundwa koMkhulu eNyokeni ==
Ngokujwayelekile izintombi eziqhamuka ezifundeni ezahlukene zifika esigodlweni ngoLwesihlanu. Kuye kuphume abaNtwana baseNdlunkulu bazemukele. AbaNtwana baye bahube babuye bafundise izintombi amanye amahubo ezingawazi: Ngalo uLwesihlanu ngemuva kokwamukelwa izintombi zithola ithuba lokugida zibuye zithole iziyalo zeSilo.  Kuye kunikezwe izifundo zokuziphatha ngobuqotho nezimilo ezinhle kubantu besifazane. Kulesi sikhathi esiphila kuso esikhungethwe yisifo sengculaza, izifundo ezinikezwa amatshitshi seziye zigcizelele ukuthi ucansi olungaphephile lungukufa uqobo. Kubuye kukhunjuzwe amatshitshi ngendlela okhokho bawo ababeziphatha ngayo: Ukunikeza lezi zifundo kwenziwa yibona abesifazane kuze kumbandakanye ngisho amakhosikazi angonina bayo iNgonyama.

== Ukugujwa koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
NgoMgqibelo izintombi zivuka ekuseni ziyogeza emfuleni zibuye sezivunule. Uma sezibuyile emfuleni ziye zimiswe ngezigaba ezifanele. Phambili kuma abaNtwana beSilo nabaNtwana baseNdlunkulu. Ngemuva kwabo kuma amatshitshi abhince umutsha, kuthi ngemuva kwaleli thimba kume amaqhikiza abhince umgcabha noma ivukusi noma yiluphi uhlobo lokubhinca kumele ngaphezulu kwalo izintombi zibhince umutsha otshengisa ukuthi ziyizintombi.

=== Imvunulo yezintombi ===
Imvunulo yezintombi yenhlukaniswe ngezigaba zayo ezine (4) kanje:

* Imvunulo yamajongosi izintombi ezingakaqomi
* Imvunulo yamaqhikiza okuyilezo eseziqomile
* Imvunulo eqondene nizingoduso okuyilezo esezigodusiwe noma eseziceliwe.
* Bese kuba nemvunulo yezinkehli okuyilezo esezilotsholiwe zaze zakhehlwa sezilinde umgcagco.

Zonke lezi zintombi zingamatshitshi kodwa imvunulo ezihlukanisa ngokwezigaba zazo. Yileso naleso sigaba sinemvunulo yaso. Zonke izintombi zisuke zivunule ngevunulo emiselwe noma eqondene nebanga elikuzo.  Akuvumekile ukuxuba imvunulo ngokwegaba.  

=== Amajongisi   ===
Amajongosi, amatshitshi awagqoki lutho ezinqeni kodwa kuba onomndindi nezingcubula. Lokhu kusuke kukhombisa ukuzigqaja kwawo amatshitshi ngemizimba yawo. Amabele awembozwa ngalutho ngoba lokho kwakungelona isiko lamaZulu. Ubona ngamabele amatshitshi azimponjwana emile ethe mpo nezinqe zakhona zithe du zingahambi zinyakaza. Ithanga lakhona liginqika amanzi ligcwele licwebezela.

INkosazane esuke iqokwe yiSilo iye ibisithatha umhlanga wokuqala iyowunika iSilo. ISilo sisuke silindele kanye nezimenywa esigodlweni ngenhla kwesibaya. Ngaphambi kokuba iSilo simukele umhlanga eNkosazaneni siye siqale siphule lowo wangonyaka odlule siwuhudulele eceleni. Lo Mhlanga usuke uncikiswe phakathi kwesigodlo nesibaya. Lokhu iSilo sikwenza kusasele amagxathu ambalwa ukuba iNkosazane ifike kuso. Emva kweNkosazane kulandela abanye abaNtwana kuze nezintombi. Konke lokhu izintombi zikwenza zihuba amahubo. Izintombi aziwubeki noma kanjani umhlanga kodwa ziwubeka ngokucophelela ngenxa yokuthi umele ubuntombi bazo.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Mbonambi, Herbert Bonginkosi. 2010.

Uma sekuqediwe iSilo siphuma ngehubo kulandele izintombi kuyiwe enkundleni lapho siyokwethula khona inkulumo yosuku.

=== Amabutho asingethe iNgonyama ===
EMkhosini Womhlanga kuye kubekhona amabutho abesilisa akhapha iNgonyama uma isiya enkundleni lapho izintombi zizogubha khona uMkhosi Womhlanga. Amabutho aphatha izihlangu, amawisa nezinduku angene neNgonyama enkundleni kuhutshwa amahubo esiZulu.  Wonke amaZulu esilisa azokwethamela uMkhosi Womhlanga kudingeka avunule ngemvunulo yesiNtu.

Izivakashi azivunyelwa ukungena emigqeni yezintombi ezigubhayo zithathe izithombe ngendlela engahlelekile. Lokhu kungehlisa isithunzi nokubaluleka koMkhosi bese kuba sengathi yinkundla yokwenza inzuzo kanti kusuke kwakhiwa isizwe. Enkulumeni yayo iNgonyama iye income ukuziphatha ngobuqotho kwezintombi zakwaZulu. Phela izintombi ezigubha uMkhosi Womhlanga zisuke zihloliwe ukuthi zisaphelele yini. Ngakho-ke ukuzincoma kugqugquzela ukuthi ziqhubeke nokuziphatha kahle ukuze unyaka nonyaka zithole ithuba lokuzobukwa iNgonyama nesizwe sonke. ISilo siye sigcizelele ukubaluleka kokuziphatha kahle ukuze kunciphe ukufa kwabantu okudalwa yingculaza. Ukuphetha uMkhosi Womhlanga kwesinye isikhathi iSilo siye siqambe igama lebutho lezintombi ebezigubha uMkhosi.

== Ukubaluleka koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
UMkhosi Womhlanga ubamba iqhaza elibalulekile ngokugqugquzela izintombi ukuba zigcine ubuntombi bazo zize zifike esigabeni sokushada. Izifundo ezifundiswa izintombi esigodlweni ziyasiza ekuvikeleni ukukhulelwa kwezintombi nokuhaqwa yisifo sengculaza. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuvuselela amasiko esintu nokuzigqaja kwezintombi ngobuzwe nobuntombi bazo. Ukubuthwa okudalwa nguMkhosi Womhlanga negama elinikezwa ibutho lezintombi kugqugquzela ukuziphatha kahle ezintombini ngoba zingafuni igama lebutho lithunazeke.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;

Mkhosi Womhlanga uvuselela amasiko Amahle okuziphatha kwezintombi. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuthi uthole abangani abaziphethe kahle futhi ugqugquzeleke ukuqhubeka nokugcina ubuntombi bakho. Kuyavela engxoxweni nezintombi ezizigcinile ezihamba uMkhosi Womhlanga ukuthi ontanga bazo abazemukeli kahle. Empeleni ngisho nabanye abazali banomona ngoba ezabo izingane zingaziphethe kahle bese bezibhuqa lezi ezigcine ubuntombi bazo. UManqele (2007) uqhuba uthi: uma ukhuluma iqiniso futhi ungazenyezi ngobuwena ontanga bakho bagcina sebekuhlonipha.

Lokhu kuchaza ukuthi izintombi azifunde ukuzethemba zingabanaki abazigxekayo ngoba bafuna zifane nabo. Nabo laba abagxekayo bayafisa ukuzigcina beyizintombi nto kodwa bahlulwa ukumelana nengcindezi yontanga babo.

Ngosuku  lomkhosi, umgubho uqala ngomkhuleko lapho izinyosi zihaya iSilo esibusayo namakhosi amadala.  Ngalesi sikhathi abaselisa bame ngezinyawo, kuthule cwaka. Abasemame nezintombi bahleli phansi kuthulekile. Akekho ukukizayo/ olilizayo. Bavala ngeHubo leSiswe.

== Isiphetho ==
Ukuhloniphana phakathi kwezintombi nezinsizwa kwakuyinto ebalulekile endulo. Namhlanje abanye abantu besilisa abasabahloniphi abantu besifazane. Ukuhlukunyezwa kwabantu besifazane kudla umunyu kuleli lizwe. Ingcabhayi ilele kubazali nothisha ukuba bakugxilise emiqondweni yezingane zabafana ukuthi umuntu wesifazane uyahlonishwa.{{Opinion|September 2025}} 

Endulo izintombi zazingavunyelwa ukuba ziye emathuneni, namhlanje sekuwuthela wayeka usubona ngisho nojahidada emingcwabeni. Isiko lokugezwa ngomswani kwezintombi uma kade kushoniwe ekhaya alisanakwa. Kuhle ukuthi zibuye emasisweni, amasiko ayebumba isizwe abuyiswe.

Isiko lokubalekela lalilihle linikeza izintombi ithuba lokuzikhethela. Nokho kulesi sikhathi sanamhlanje mhlawumbe selingaba nenkinga ngoba abanye abantu sebalahlekelwa ubuntu. Kungenzeka ukuthi ithi intombi ibalekela umuntu bese eyinukubeza athi izilethe yona. Isiko lokuhlolwa kwezintombi libonakala liba nesasasa kulezi zinsuku. UMkhosi Womhlanga ubambe iqhaza elibalulekile ukugqugquzela leli siko. Nokho-ke kukhona ezinye izinhlaka ezigxeka leli siko, zithi zilwela amalungelo abantu besifazane.

'''Imikhosi yesizwe samaZulu''' iyimigubho ebanjwa kuwo wonke unyaka. Umkhosi owaziwa kakhulu yilowo obizwa ngokuthi Umkhosi womhlanga, lapho khona izintombi zihlangana ziyokha umhlanga. Emikhosini eminingi yakwaZulu, abantu bavunula bahlobengengqephu yesintu, kuba khona namabutho wesizwe samaZulu, futhi ngokuvamile lemikhosi iholwa iSilo sesizwe samaZulu. Ngokwesiko kuyahlatshwa kulemikhosi, kubulawe izinkomo nezimbuzi. Imikhosi yakwaZulu emikhulu ihlanganisa [[uMkhosi woMhlanga]], [[UMkhosi woSelwa]], [[uMkhosi KaNomkhubulwane]], Umkhosi WeLembe, Umkhosi Wamaganu, Umkhosi Wesivivane.

== Umkhosi womhlanga==
[[File:South_africa_-_zulu_reed_dance_ceremony_(6563648943).jpg|thumb|Izintombi ziphethe umhlanga]]
Umkhosi Womhlanga umkhosi lapho izinkulungwane zezintombi zamaZulu zihlangana khona eNyokeni esigodlweni seNgonyama yamaZulu ngoMandulo unyaka nonyaka. Umkhosi womhlanga isiko lokukhuthaza ubumsulwa ezintombi nokuhlonishwa kwabesifazane abasebasha. Kanye baye befundiswe nokuhlonipha nokucondiza kobuntombi.
UMhlanga oxhumene nalo Mkhosi ngokomlando wuqalo oluthathwa njengomuthi wokuqala ukumila eNingizimu yezwe laseGibhithe [[I-Itiyopiya|eTopiya]]. Ngenxa yokuthathwa kwalo njengomuthi wokuqala, kukholelwa ukuthi uqalo wuhlanga lezwe olwaluhlanganisa iNingizimu neNyakatho yezwe laseGibhithe.

Lo mkhosi ususelwa emcimbini omdala odume ngokuthi wumchwasho. Umchwasho uchazwa ngokuthi isiko eliqondene nezintombi ezimsulwa ezingakahlangano nowesilisa ngokocansi.  Kulo mkhosi, izintombi zisuke ziqhakambisa ubuntombi bazo nokuveza ubuhle bazo.  uMhlanga okhiwa yizintombi ezingamatshitshi emifuleni umele uHlanga Lwezwe.

==Umkhosi woselwa==
[[File:A_large_and_small_calabash_the_stadium_at_SK_Fest_2024_01.jpg|thumb]]
UMkhosi woSelwa noma uMkhosi wokweShwama uwumthandazo wesizwe wokubongwa  uMvelingangi/ uMvelikuqali ngemvula, inala nokugcina abantu abadala (omkhulu nogogo) abayinqolobane yesizwe mayelana ngolwazi nokuhlakanipha abaludlisa esizikulwaneni.  Bayinqolobane nomthombo womlando, amasiko nokunye okuningi. Iselwa igama eliyibizo lesithelo sesitshalo esithi asifane nethanga. Sithi uma sesivuthiwe kwenziwe ngaso amagula amasi, izigubhu zamanzi nezinkezo zokukha amanzi  noma utshwala. Abanye babiza bathi uselwa (uluselwa). Lesi sitshalo sithi asifane nezintanga futhi sikhula sinabe sikhiphe imilibo njengazo izintanga.  Likhula linabe bese likhipha izigubhu okuyizona ezibiza ngokuthi iselwa. Iselwa liyaphekwa kwenziwe ingqeke, kwesinye isikhathi liphekwa ndawonye nethanga.  Lesi sitshalo  siyigugu esizweni samaZulu.  Sitshalwa ehlobo noma enkwindla uma sekufike isikhathi sokufaka immbila phansi, izintanga, amabele nemfe nokunye okutshalwa emasimini.  

Lo mkhosi ugujwa ngenyanga kaZibandlela kwaNongoma esigodlweni seSilo.  Wenziwa ngesikhathi inyanga igcwele (full moon).  Lo mkhosi uqondene ngqo nabantu besilisa kuphela, ikakhulukazi izinsizwa ezingakabuthwa.  Lo mkhosi mdala KwaZulu naseSwazini.  Amalungiselelo okugujwa komkhosi aqala ngenyanga kaLwezi (November).

== Umkhosi kaNomkhubulwane==
UNomkhubulwane inkosazane yesizwe samaZulu okukholelwa ukuthi iyona elawula ukutshalwa nesivuno emasimini, iphinde ilawule ubuntombi ezintombini noma ebantwini besifazane.  Kunenkolelo yokuthi le nkosazane iletha inhlanhla ebantwini besifazane okubalwa kona ukugana kanye nesipho sokuthola abantwana.

Lo mkhosi ungumkhuluko wesizwe lapho  kucelwa khona imvula, inala, inzalo,  nokuthula ezweni. ISilo saMabandla, uNgangezwelakhe wavuselela leli siko waqoka isizwe sakwaSokhulu ukuba yisona esisingatha lo msebenzi. Isigubhu seNkosazane silandwa khona endaweni yakwaSokhulu.

== UMkhosi weLembe==

Lona Umkhosi obankelwa KwaDukuza, wokugubha ISilo sokuqala sesizwe samaZulu uShaka kaSnezangakhona.

== Izifundo ezifundwa koMkhulu eNyokeni ==
Ngokujwayelekile izintombi eziqhamuka ezifundeni ezahlukene zifika esigodlweni ngoLwesihlanu. Kuye kuphume abaNtwana baseNdlunkulu bazemukele. AbaNtwana baye bahube babuye bafundise izintombi amanye amahubo ezingawazi: Ngalo uLwesihlanu ngemuva kokwamukelwa izintombi zithola ithuba lokugida zibuye zithole iziyalo zeSilo.  Kuye kunikezwe izifundo zokuziphatha ngobuqotho nezimilo ezinhle kubantu besifazane. Kulesi sikhathi esiphila kuso esikhungethwe yisifo sengculaza, izifundo ezinikezwa amatshitshi seziye zigcizelele ukuthi ucansi olungaphephile lungukufa uqobo. Kubuye kukhunjuzwe amatshitshi ngendlela okhokho bawo ababeziphatha ngayo: Ukunikeza lezi zifundo kwenziwa yibona abesifazane kuze kumbandakanye ngisho amakhosikazi angonina bayo iNgonyama.

== Ukugujwa koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
NgoMgqibelo izintombi zivuka ekuseni ziyogeza emfuleni zibuye sezivunule. Uma sezibuyile emfuleni ziye zimiswe ngezigaba ezifanele. Phambili kuma abaNtwana beSilo nabaNtwana baseNdlunkulu. Ngemuva kwabo kuma amatshitshi abhince umutsha, kuthi ngemuva kwaleli thimba kume amaqhikiza abhince umgcabha noma ivukusi noma yiluphi uhlobo lokubhinca kumele ngaphezulu kwalo izintombi zibhince umutsha otshengisa ukuthi ziyizintombi.

=== Imvunulo yezintombi ===
Imvunulo yezintombi yenhlukaniswe ngezigaba zayo ezine (4) kanje:

* Imvunulo yamajongosi izintombi ezingakaqomi
* Imvunulo yamaqhikiza okuyilezo eseziqomile
* Imvunulo eqondene nizingoduso okuyilezo esezigodusiwe noma eseziceliwe.
* Bese kuba nemvunulo yezinkehli okuyilezo esezilotsholiwe zaze zakhehlwa sezilinde umgcagco.

Zonke lezi zintombi zingamatshitshi kodwa imvunulo ezihlukanisa ngokwezigaba zazo. Yileso naleso sigaba sinemvunulo yaso. Zonke izintombi zisuke zivunule ngevunulo emiselwe noma eqondene nebanga elikuzo.  Akuvumekile ukuxuba imvunulo ngokwegaba.  

=== Amajongisi   ===
Amajongosi, amatshitshi awagqoki lutho ezinqeni kodwa kuba onomndindi nezingcubula. Lokhu kusuke kukhombisa ukuzigqaja kwawo amatshitshi ngemizimba yawo. Amabele awembozwa ngalutho ngoba lokho kwakungelona isiko lamaZulu. Ubona ngamabele amatshitshi azimponjwana emile ethe mpo nezinqe zakhona zithe du zingahambi zinyakaza. Ithanga lakhona liginqika amanzi ligcwele licwebezela.

INkosazane esuke iqokwe yiSilo iye ibisithatha umhlanga wokuqala iyowunika iSilo. ISilo sisuke silindele kanye nezimenywa esigodlweni ngenhla kwesibaya. Ngaphambi kokuba iSilo simukele umhlanga eNkosazaneni siye siqale siphule lowo wangonyaka odlule siwuhudulele eceleni. Lo Mhlanga usuke uncikiswe phakathi kwesigodlo nesibaya. Lokhu iSilo sikwenza kusasele amagxathu ambalwa ukuba iNkosazane ifike kuso. Emva kweNkosazane kulandela abanye abaNtwana kuze nezintombi. Konke lokhu izintombi zikwenza zihuba amahubo. Izintombi aziwubeki noma kanjani umhlanga kodwa ziwubeka ngokucophelela ngenxa yokuthi umele ubuntombi bazo.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Mbonambi, Herbert Bonginkosi. 2010.

University of Zululand.&lt;/ref&gt;

Uma sekuqediwe iSilo siphuma ngehubo kulandele izintombi kuyiwe enkundleni lapho siyokwethula khona inkulumo yosuku.

=== Amabutho asingethe iNgonyama ===
EMkhosini Womhlanga kuye kubekhona amabutho abesilisa akhapha iNgonyama uma isiya enkundleni lapho izintombi zizogubha khona uMkhosi Womhlanga. Amabutho aphatha izihlangu, amawisa nezinduku angene neNgonyama enkundleni kuhutshwa amahubo esiZulu.  Wonke amaZulu esilisa azokwethamela uMkhosi Womhlanga kudingeka avunule ngemvunulo yesiNtu.

Izivakashi azivunyelwa ukungena emigqeni yezintombi ezigubhayo zithathe izithombe ngendlela engahlelekile. Lokhu kungehlisa isithunzi nokubaluleka koMkhosi bese kuba sengathi yinkundla yokwenza inzuzo kanti kusuke kwakhiwa isizwe. Enkulumeni yayo iNgonyama iye income ukuziphatha ngobuqotho kwezintombi zakwaZulu. Phela izintombi ezigubha uMkhosi Womhlanga zisuke zihloliwe ukuthi zisaphelele yini. Ngakho-ke ukuzincoma kugqugquzela ukuthi ziqhubeke nokuziphatha kahle ukuze unyaka nonyaka zithole ithuba lokuzobukwa iNgonyama nesizwe sonke. ISilo siye sigcizelele ukubaluleka kokuziphatha kahle ukuze kunciphe ukufa kwabantu okudalwa yingculaza. Ukuphetha uMkhosi Womhlanga kwesinye isikhathi iSilo siye siqambe igama lebutho lezintombi ebezigubha uMkhosi.

== Ukubaluleka koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
UMkhosi Womhlanga ubamba iqhaza elibalulekile ngokugqugquzela izintombi ukuba zigcine ubuntombi bazo zize zifike esigabeni sokushada. Izifundo ezifundiswa izintombi esigodlweni ziyasiza ekuvikeleni ukukhulelwa kwezintombi nokuhaqwa yisifo sengculaza. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuvuselela amasiko esintu nokuzigqaja kwezintombi ngobuzwe nobuntombi bazo. Ukubuthwa okudalwa nguMkhosi Womhlanga negama elinikezwa ibutho lezintombi kugqugquzela ukuziphatha kahle ezintombini ngoba zingafuni igama lebutho lithunazeke.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;

Mkhosi Womhlanga uvuselela amasiko Amahle okuziphatha kwezintombi. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuthi uthole abangani abaziphethe kahle futhi ugqugquzeleke ukuqhubeka nokugcina ubuntombi bakho. Kuyavela engxoxweni nezintombi ezizigcinile ezihamba uMkhosi Womhlanga ukuthi ontanga bazo abazemukeli kahle. Empeleni ngisho nabanye abazali banomona ngoba ezabo izingane zingaziphethe kahle bese bezibhuqa lezi ezigcine ubuntombi bazo. UManqele (2007) uqhuba uthi: uma ukhuluma iqiniso futhi ungazenyezi ngobuwena ontanga bakho bagcina sebekuhlonipha.

Lokhu kuchaza ukuthi izintombi azifunde ukuzethemba zingabanaki abazigxekayo ngoba bafuna zifane nabo. Nabo laba abagxekayo bayafisa ukuzigcina beyizintombi nto kodwa bahlulwa ukumelana nengcindezi yontanga babo.

Ngosuku  lomkhosi, umgubho uqala ngomkhuleko lapho izinyosi zihaya iSilo esibusayo namakhosi amadala.  Ngalesi sikhathi abaselisa bame ngezinyawo, kuthule cwaka. Abasemame nezintombi bahleli phansi kuthulekile. Akekho ukukizayo/ olilizayo. Bavala ngeHubo leSiswe.

== Isiphetho ==
Ukuhloniphana phakathi kwezintombi nezinsizwa kwakuyinto ebalulekile endulo. Namhlanje abanye abantu besilisa abasabahloniphi abantu besifazane.

Endulo izintombi zazingavunyelwa ukuba ziye emathuneni, namhlanje sekuwuthela wayeka usubona ngisho nojahidada emingcwabeni. Isiko lokugezwa ngomswani kwezintombi uma kade kushoniwe ekhaya alisanakwa. Kuhle ukuthi zibuye emasisweni, amasiko ayebumba isizwe abuyiswe.

Isiko lokubalekela lalilihle linikeza izintombi ithuba lokuzikhethela. Nokho kulesi sikhathi sanamhlanje mhlawumbe selingaba nenkinga ngoba abanye abantu sebalahlekelwa ubuntu. Kungenzeka ukuthi ithi intombi ibalekela umuntu bese eyinukubeza athi izilethe yona. Isiko lokuhlolwa kwezintombi libonakala liba nesasasa kulezi zinsuku. UMkhosi Womhlanga ubambe iqhaza elibalulekile ukugqugquzela leli siko. Nokho-ke kukhona ezinye izinhlaka ezigxeka leli siko, zithi zilwela amalungelo abantu besifazane.

Iselwa igama eliyibizo lesithelo sesitshalo esithi asifane nethanga. Sithi uma sesivuthiwe kwenziwe ngaso amagula amasi, izigubhu zamanzi nezinkezo zokukha amanzi  noma utshwala. Abanye babiza bathi uselwa (uluselwa). Lesi sitshalo sithi asifane nezintanga futhi sikhula sinabe sikhiphe imilibo njengazo izintanga.  Likhula linabe bese likhipha izigubhu okuyizona ezibiza ngokuthi iselwa. Iselwa liyaphekwa kwenziwe ingqeke, kwesinye isikhathi liphekwa ndawonye nethanga.  Lesi sitshalo  siyigugu esizweni samaZulu.  Sitshalwa ehlobo noma enkwindla uma sekufike isikhathi sokufaka immbila phansi, izintanga, amabele nemfe nokunye okutshalwa emasimini.  

Lo mkhosi ugujwa ngenyanga kaZibandlela kwaNongoma esigodlweni seSilo.  Wenziwa ngesikhathi inyanga igcwele (full moon).  Lo mkhosi uqondene ngqo nabantu besilisa kuphela, ikakhulukazi izinsizwa ezingakabuthwa.  Lo mkhosi mdala KwaZulu naseSwazini.  Amalungiselelo okugujwa komkhosi aqala ngenyanga kaLwezi (November).

== Umkhosi kaNomkhubulwane==
UNomkhubulwane inkosazane yesizwe samaZulu okukholelwa ukuthi iyona elawula ukutshalwa nesivuno emasimini, iphinde ilawule ubuntombi ezintombini noma ebantwini besifazane.  Kunenkolelo yokuthi le nkosazane iletha inhlanhla ebantwini besifazane okubalwa kona ukugana kanye nesipho sokuthola abantwana.

Lo mkhosi ungumkhuluko wesizwe lapho  kucelwa khona imvula, inala, inzalo,  nokuthula ezweni. ISilo saMabandla, uNgangezwelakhe wavuselela leli siko waqoka isizwe sakwaSokhulu ukuba yisona esisingatha lo msebenzi. Isigubhu seNkosazane silandwa khona endaweni yakwaSokhulu.

== UMkhosi weLembe== 
[[File:Shaka_Zulu_Memorial.jpg|thumb|Isikhumbuzo seSilo uShaka]]
Lona Umkhosi obankelwa KwaDukuza, wokugubha ISilo sokuqala sesizwe samaZulu uShaka kaSnezangakhona.

== UMkhosi Wesivivane ==
Umkhosi Wesivivane ungumgubho obungaza abantu besifazane. Lo mkhosi ubanjwa ngenyanga ka-Agasti, oyinyanga yabantu besifazane, usingathwa uMnyango Wezobuciko namaSiko KwaZulu-Natali ubambisene neNdlunkulu yakwaZulu.  .

Abantu besifazane besifundazwe sakwaZulu-Natali nezinye isifundazwe, kuhlanganisa nababuya Eswatini, bonke babuthanela esogodlweni, ukuzogubha lomkhosi.

== Ukugujwa koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
NgoMgqibelo izintombi zivuka ekuseni ziyogeza emfuleni zibuye sezivunule. Uma sezibuyile emfuleni ziye zimiswe ngezigaba ezifanele. Phambili kuma abaNtwana beSilo nabaNtwana baseNdlunkulu. Ngemuva kwabo kuma amatshitshi abhince umutsha, kuthi ngemuva kwaleli thimba kume amaqhikiza abhince umgcabha noma ivukusi noma yiluphi uhlobo lokubhinca kumele ngaphezulu kwalo izintombi zibhince umutsha otshengisa ukuthi ziyizintombi.

=== Imvunulo yezintombi ===
Imvunulo yezintombi yenhlukaniswe ngezigaba zayo ezine (4) kanje:

* Imvunulo yamajongosi izintombi ezingakaqomi
* Imvunulo yamaqhikiza okuyilezo eseziqomile
* Imvunulo eqondene nizingoduso okuyilezo esezigodusiwe noma eseziceliwe.
* Bese kuba nemvunulo yezinkehli okuyilezo esezilotsholiwe zaze zakhehlwa sezilinde umgcagco.

Zonke lezi zintombi zingamatshitshi kodwa imvunulo ezihlukanisa ngokwezigaba zazo. Yileso naleso sigaba sinemvunulo yaso. Zonke izintombi zisuke zivunule ngevunulo emiselwe noma eqondene nebanga elikuzo.  Akuvumekile ukuxuba imvunulo ngokwegaba.  

=== Amajongisi   ===
Amajongosi, amatshitshi awagqoki lutho ezinqeni kodwa kuba onomndindi nezingcubula. Lokhu kusuke kukhombisa ukuzigqaja kwawo amatshitshi ngemizimba yawo. Amabele awembozwa ngalutho ngoba lokho kwakungelona isiko lamaZulu. Ubona ngamabele amatshitshi azimponjwana emile ethe mpo nezinqe zakhona zithe du zingahambi zinyakaza. Ithanga lakhona liginqika amanzi ligcwele licwebezela.

INkosazane esuke iqokwe yiSilo iye ibisithatha umhlanga wokuqala iyowunika iSilo. ISilo sisuke silindele kanye nezimenywa esigodlweni ngenhla kwesibaya. Ngaphambi kokuba iSilo simukele umhlanga eNkosazaneni siye siqale siphule lowo wangonyaka odlule siwuhudulele eceleni. Lo Mhlanga usuke uncikiswe phakathi kwesigodlo nesibaya. Lokhu iSilo sikwenza kusasele amagxathu ambalwa ukuba iNkosazane ifike kuso. Emva kweNkosazane kulandela abanye abaNtwana kuze nezintombi. Konke lokhu izintombi zikwenza zihuba amahubo. Izintombi aziwubeki noma kanjani umhlanga kodwa ziwubeka ngokucophelela ngenxa yokuthi umele ubuntombi bazo.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Mbonambi, Herbert Bonginkosi. 2010.

University of Zululand.&lt;/ref&gt;

Uma sekuqediwe iSilo siphuma ngehubo kulandele izintombi kuyiwe enkundleni lapho siyokwethula khona inkulumo yosuku.

=== Amabutho asingethe iNgonyama ===
EMkhosini Womhlanga kuye kubekhona amabutho abesilisa akhapha iNgonyama uma isiya enkundleni lapho izintombi zizogubha khona uMkhosi Womhlanga. Amabutho aphatha izihlangu, amawisa nezinduku angene neNgonyama enkundleni kuhutshwa amahubo esiZulu.  Wonke amaZulu esilisa azokwethamela uMkhosi Womhlanga kudingeka avunule ngemvunulo yesiNtu.

Izivakashi azivunyelwa ukungena emigqeni yezintombi ezigubhayo zithathe izithombe ngendlela engahlelekile. Lokhu kungehlisa isithunzi nokubaluleka koMkhosi bese kuba sengathi yinkundla yokwenza inzuzo kanti kusuke kwakhiwa isizwe. Enkulumeni yayo iNgonyama iye income ukuziphatha ngobuqotho kwezintombi zakwaZulu. Phela izintombi ezigubha uMkhosi Womhlanga zisuke zihloliwe ukuthi zisaphelele yini. Ngakho-ke ukuzincoma kugqugquzela ukuthi ziqhubeke nokuziphatha kahle ukuze unyaka nonyaka zithole ithuba lokuzobukwa iNgonyama nesizwe sonke. ISilo siye sigcizelele ukubaluleka kokuziphatha kahle ukuze kunciphe ukufa kwabantu okudalwa yingculaza. Ukuphetha uMkhosi Womhlanga kwesinye isikhathi iSilo siye siqambe igama lebutho lezintombi ebezigubha uMkhosi.

== Ukubaluleka koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
UMkhosi Womhlanga ubamba iqhaza elibalulekile ngokugqugquzela izintombi ukuba zigcine ubuntombi bazo zize zifike esigabeni sokushada. Izifundo ezifundiswa izintombi esigodlweni ziyasiza ekuvikeleni ukukhulelwa kwezintombi nokuhaqwa yisifo sengculaza. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuvuselela amasiko esintu nokuzigqaja kwezintombi ngobuzwe nobuntombi bazo. Ukubuthwa okudalwa nguMkhosi Womhlanga negama elinikezwa ibutho lezintombi kugqugquzela ukuziphatha kahle ezintombini ngoba zingafuni igama lebutho lithunazeke.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;

Mkhosi Womhlanga uvuselela amasiko Amahle okuziphatha kwezintombi. UMkhosi Womhlanga usiza ukuthi uthole abangani abaziphethe kahle futhi ugqugquzeleke ukuqhubeka nokugcina ubuntombi bakho. Kuyavela engxoxweni nezintombi ezizigcinile ezihamba uMkhosi Womhlanga ukuthi ontanga bazo abazemukeli kahle. Empeleni ngisho nabanye abazali banomona ngoba ezabo izingane zingaziphethe kahle bese bezibhuqa lezi ezigcine ubuntombi bazo. UManqele (2007) uqhuba uthi: uma ukhuluma iqiniso futhi ungazenyezi ngobuwena ontanga bakho bagcina sebekuhlonipha.

Lokhu kuchaza ukuthi izintombi azifunde ukuzethemba zingabanaki abazigxekayo ngoba bafuna zifane nabo. Nabo laba abagxekayo bayafisa ukuzigcina beyizintombi nto kodwa bahlulwa ukumelana nengcindezi yontanga babo.

Ngosuku  lomkhosi, umgubho uqala ngomkhuleko lapho izinyosi zihaya iSilo esibusayo namakhosi amadala.  Ngalesi sikhathi abaselisa bame ngezinyawo, kuthule cwaka. Abasemame nezintombi bahleli phansi kuthulekile. Akekho ukukizayo/ olilizayo. Bavala ngeHubo leSiswe.

== Isiphetho ==
Ukuhloniphana phakathi kwezintombi nezinsizwa kwakuyinto ebalulekile endulo. Namhlanje abanye abantu besilisa abasabahloniphi abantu besifazane. Ukuhlukunyezwa kwabantu besifazane kudla umunyu kuleli lizwe. Ingcabhayi ilele kubazali nothisha ukuba bakugxilise emiqondweni yezingane zabafana ukuthi umuntu wesifazane uyahlonishwa.{{Opinion|September 2025}} 

Endulo izintombi zazingavunyelwa ukuba ziye emathuneni, namhlanje sekuwuthela wayeka usubona ngisho nojahidada emingcwabeni. Isiko lokugezwa ngomswani kwezintombi uma kade kushoniwe ekhaya alisanakwa. Kuhle ukuthi zibuye emasisweni, amasiko ayebumba isizwe abuyiswe.

Isiko lokubalekela lalilihle linikeza izintombi ithuba lokuzikhethela. Nokho kulesi sikhathi sanamhlanje mhlawumbe selingaba nenkinga ngoba abanye abantu sebalahlekelwa ubuntu. Kungenzeka ukuthi ithi intombi ibalekela umuntu bese eyinukubeza athi izilethe yona. Isiko lokuhlolwa kwezintombi libonakala liba nesasasa kulezi zinsuku. UMkhosi Womhlanga ubambe iqhaza elibalulekile ukugqugquzela leli siko. Nokho-ke kukhona ezinye izinhlaka ezigxeka leli siko, zithi zilwela amalungelo abantu besifazane.

'''Imikhosi yesizwe samaZulu''' iyimigubho ebanjwa kuwo wonke unyaka. Umkhosi owaziwa kakhulu yilowo obizwa ngokuthi Umkhosi womhlanga, lapho khona izintombi zihlangana ziyokha umhlanga. Emikhosini eminingi yakwaZulu, abantu bavunula bahlobengengqephu yesintu, kuba khona namabutho wesizwe samaZulu, futhi ngokuvamile lemikhosi iholwa iSilo sesizwe samaZulu. Ngokwesiko kuyahlatshwa kulemikhosi, kubulawe izinkomo nezimbuzi. Imikhosi yakwaZulu emikhulu ihlanganisa [[uMkhosi woMhlanga]], [[UMkhosi woSelwa]], [[uMkhosi KaNomkhubulwane]], Umkhosi WeLembe, Umkhosi Wamaganu, Umkhosi Wesivivane.

== Umkhosi womhlanga==
[[File:South_africa_-_zulu_reed_dance_ceremony_(6563648943).jpg|thumb|Izintombi ziphethe umhlanga]]
Umkhosi Womhlanga umkhosi lapho izinkulungwane zezintombi zamaZulu zihlangana khona eNyokeni esigodlweni seNgonyama yamaZulu ngoMandulo unyaka nonyaka. Umkhosi womhlanga isiko lokukhuthaza ubumsulwa ezintombi nokuhlonishwa kwabesifazane abasebasha. Kanye baye befundiswe nokuhlonipha nokucondiza kobuntombi.
UMhlanga oxhumene nalo Mkhosi ngokomlando wuqalo oluthathwa njengomuthi wokuqala ukumila eNingizimu yezwe laseGibhithe [[I-Itiyopiya|eTopiya]]. Ngenxa yokuthathwa kwalo njengomuthi wokuqala, kukholelwa ukuthi uqalo wuhlanga lezwe olwaluhlanganisa iNingizimu neNyakatho yezwe laseGibhithe.

[[File:South_africa_-_zulu_reed_dance_ceremony_(6563648943).jpg|thumb|Izintombi ziphethe umhlanga]]
Umkhosi Womhlanga umkhosi lapho izinkulungwane zezintombi zamaZulu zihlangana khona eNyokeni esigodlweni seNgonyama yamaZulu ngoMandulo unyaka nonyaka. Umkhosi womhlanga isiko lokukhuthaza ubumsulwa ezintombi nokuhlonishwa kwabesifazane abasebasha. Kanye baye befundiswe nokuhlonipha nokucondiza kobuntombi.
UMhlanga oxhumene nalo Mkhosi ngokomlando wuqalo oluthathwa njengomuthi wokuqala ukumila eNingizimu yezwe laseGibhithe [[I-Itiyopiya|eTopiya]]. Ngenxa yokuthathwa kwalo njengomuthi wokuqala, kukholelwa ukuthi uqalo wuhlanga lezwe olwaluhlanganisa iNingizimu neNyakatho yezwe laseGibhithe.

==Umkhosi woselwa==
[[File:A_large_and_small_calabash_the_stadium_at_SK_Fest_2024_01.jpg|thumb]]
UMkhosi woSelwa noma uMkhosi wokweShwama uwumthandazo wesizwe wokubongwa  uMvelingangi/ uMvelikuqali ngemvula, inala nokugcina abantu abadala (omkhulu nogogo) abayinqolobane yesizwe mayelana ngolwazi nokuhlakanipha abaludlisa esizikulwaneni.  Bayinqolobane nomthombo womlando, amasiko nokunye okuningi. Iselwa igama eliyibizo lesithelo sesitshalo esithi asifane nethanga. Sithi uma sesivuthiwe kwenziwe ngaso amagula amasi, izigubhu zamanzi nezinkezo zokukha amanzi  noma utshwala. Abanye babiza bathi uselwa (uluselwa). Lesi sitshalo sithi asifane nezintanga futhi sikhula sinabe sikhiphe imilibo njengazo izintanga.  Likhula linabe bese likhipha izigubhu okuyizona ezibiza ngokuthi iselwa. Iselwa liyaphekwa kwenziwe ingqeke, kwesinye isikhathi liphekwa ndawonye nethanga.  Lesi sitshalo  siyigugu esizweni samaZulu.  Sitshalwa ehlobo noma enkwindla uma sekufike isikhathi sokufaka immbila phansi, izintanga, amabele nemfe nokunye okutshalwa emasimini.  

Lo mkhosi ugujwa ngenyanga kaZibandlela kwaNongoma esigodlweni seSilo.  Wenziwa ngesikhathi inyanga igcwele (full moon).  Lo mkhosi uqondene ngqo nabantu besilisa kuphela, ikakhulukazi izinsizwa ezingakabuthwa.  Lo mkhosi mdala KwaZulu naseSwazini.  Amalungiselelo okugujwa komkhosi aqala ngenyanga kaLwezi (November).

== Umkhosi kaNomkhubulwane==
UNomkhubulwane inkosazane yesizwe samaZulu okukholelwa ukuthi iyona elawula ukutshalwa nesivuno emasimini, iphinde ilawule ubuntombi ezintombini noma ebantwini besifazane.  Kunenkolelo yokuthi le nkosazane iletha inhlanhla ebantwini besifazane okubalwa kona ukugana kanye nesipho sokuthola abantwana.

Lo mkhosi ungumkhuluko wesizwe lapho  kucelwa khona imvula, inala, inzalo,  nokuthula ezweni. ISilo saMabandla, uNgangezwelakhe wavuselela leli siko waqoka isizwe sakwaSokhulu ukuba yisona esisingatha lo msebenzi. Isigubhu seNkosazane silandwa khona endaweni yakwaSokhulu.

== UMkhosi weLembe== 
[[File:Shaka_Zulu_Memorial.jpg|thumb|Isikhumbuzo seSilo uShaka]]
Lona Umkhosi obankelwa KwaDukuza, wokugubha ISilo sokuqala sesizwe samaZulu uShaka kaSnezangakhona.

== UMkhosi Wesivivane ==
Umkhosi Wesivivane ungumgubho obungaza abantu besifazane. Lo mkhosi ubanjwa ngenyanga ka-Agasti, oyinyanga yabantu besifazane, usingathwa uMnyango Wezobuciko namaSiko KwaZulu-Natali ubambisene neNdlunkulu yakwaZulu.  .

Abantu besifazane besifundazwe sakwaZulu-Natali nezinye isifundazwe, kuhlanganisa nababuya Eswatini, bonke babuthanela esogodlweni, ukuzogubha lomkhosi.

== Ukugujwa koMkhosi Womhlanga ==
NgoMgqibelo izintombi zivuka ekuseni ziyogeza emfuleni zibuye sezivunule. Uma sezibuyile emfuleni ziye zimiswe ngezigaba ezifanele. Phambili kuma abaNtwana beSilo nabaNtwana baseNdlunkulu. Ngemuva kwabo kuma amatshitshi abhince umutsha, kuthi ngemuva kwaleli thimba kume amaqhikiza abhince umgcabha noma ivukusi noma yiluphi uhlobo lokubhinca kumele ngaphezulu kwalo izintombi zibhince umutsha otshengisa ukuthi ziyizintombi.

=== Imvunulo yezintombi ===
Imvunulo yezintombi yenhlukaniswe ngezigaba zayo ezine (4) kanje:

* Imvunulo yamajongosi izintombi ezingakaqomi
* Imvunulo yamaqhikiza okuyilezo eseziqomile
* Imvunulo eqondene nizingoduso okuyilezo esezigodusiwe noma eseziceliwe.
* Bese kuba nemvunulo yezinkehli okuyilezo esezilotsholiwe zaze zakhehlwa sezilinde umgcagco.

Zonke lezi zintombi zingamatshitshi kodwa imvunulo ezihlukanisa ngokwezigaba zazo. Yileso naleso sigaba sinemvunulo yaso. Zonke izintombi zisuke zivunule ngevunulo emiselwe noma eqondene nebanga elikuzo.  Akuvumekile ukuxuba imvunulo ngokwegaba.  

=== Amajongisi   ===
Amajongosi, amatshitshi awagqoki lutho ezinqeni kodwa kuba onomndindi nezingcubula. Lokhu kusuke kukhombisa ukuzigqaja kwawo amatshitshi ngemizimba yawo. Amabele awembozwa ngalutho ngoba lokho kwakungelona isiko lamaZulu. Ubona ngamabele amatshitshi azimponjwana emile ethe mpo nezinqe zakhona zithe du zingahambi zinyakaza. Ithanga lakhona liginqika amanzi ligcwele licwebezela.

INkosazane esuke iqokwe yiSilo iye ibisithatha umhlanga wokuqala iyowunika iSilo. ISilo sisuke silindele kanye nezimenywa esigodlweni ngenhla kwesibaya. Ngaphambi kokuba iSilo simukele umhlanga eNkosazaneni siye siqale siphule lowo wangonyaka odlule siwuhudulele eceleni. Lo Mhlanga usuke uncikiswe phakathi kwesigodlo nesibaya. Lokhu iSilo sikwenza kusasele amagxathu ambalwa ukuba iNkosazane ifike kuso. Emva kweNkosazane kulandela abanye abaNtwana kuze nezintombi. Konke lokhu izintombi zikwenza zihuba amahubo. Izintombi aziwubeki noma kanjani umhlanga kodwa ziwubeka ngokucophelela ngenxa yokuthi umele ubuntombi bazo.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Mbonambi, Herbert Bonginkosi. 2010. [https://uzspace.unizulu.ac.za/items/67b399f2-d9fe-4489-acf6-f52bb36ff929/full ''Ukuvuselelwa kwesiko lokuhlonipha entsheni ensundu ikakhulukazi esizweni sakwaZulu'']. University of Zululand.&lt;/ref&gt;

Uma sekuqediwe iSilo siphuma ngehubo kulandele izintombi kuyiwe enkundleni lapho siyokwethula khona inkulumo yosuku.

=== Amabutho asingethe iNgonyama ===
EMkhosini Womhlanga kuye kubekhona amabutho abesilisa akhapha iNgonyama uma isiya enkundleni lapho izintombi zizogubha khona uMkhosi Womhlanga. Amabutho aphatha izihlangu, amawisa nezinduku angene neNgonyama enkundleni kuhutshwa amahubo esiZulu.  Wonke amaZulu esilisa azokwethamela uMkhosi Womhlanga kudingeka avunule ngemvunulo yesiNtu.

Izivakashi azivunyelwa ukungena emigqeni yezintombi ezigubhayo zithathe izithombe ngendlela engahlelekile. Lokhu kungehlisa isithunzi nokubaluleka koMkhosi bese kuba sengathi yinkundla yokwenza inzuzo kanti kusuke kwakhiwa isizwe. Enkulumeni yayo iNgonyama iye income ukuziphatha ngobuqotho kwezintombi zakwaZulu. Phela izintombi ezigubha uMkhosi Womhlanga zisuke zihloliwe ukuthi zisaphelele yini. Ngakho-ke ukuzincoma kugqugquzela ukuthi ziqhubeke nokuziphatha kahle ukuze unyaka nonyaka zithole ithuba lokuzobukwa iNgonyama nesizwe sonke. ISilo siye sigcizelele ukubaluleka kokuziphatha kahle ukuze kunciphe ukufa kwabantu okudalwa yingculaza. Ukuphetha uMkhosi Womhlanga kwesinye isikhathi iSilo siye siqambe igama lebutho lezintombi ebezigubha uMkhosi.

'''Umzimba womuntu''' uyisakhiwo sonke [[Umuntu|somuntu]] . Wakhiwe izinhlobo eziningi ezahlukene [[Ingqamuzana|zamangqamuzana]] ahlanganisa izicubu bese kuba yizitho bese kuba yizinhlelo zezitho .

Umzimba womuntu ngaphandle uqukethe [[IKhanda|ikhanda]], izinwele, intamo, isingenhla (okuhlanganisa isifuba nesisu ), izitho zangasese, izingalo, [[Isandla|izandla]], [[Umlenze|imilenze]] [[Unyawo|nezinyawo]] . Umzimba womuntu wangaphakathi uhlanganisa izitho zomzimba, [[Izinyo|amazinyo]], amathambo, [[Umsipha|imisipha]], izinsinga, [[Umthambo|imithambo]] yegazi [[Igazi|negazi]], imithambo yoketshe kanye [[Uketshe|noketshe]] .

== Isakhiwo sawo ==

=== Izinhlelo zawo ===

==== Uhlelo lokujikeleza kwegazi ====
[[Uhlelo lokujikeleza kwegazi]] lwakhiwa [[inhliziyo]] nemithambo [[Igazi|yegazi]] (iminqonqo, imithambo, nemithanjana). Inhliziyo iyona ephokozisa umjikelezo wegazi ofana nohlelo lokuthutha oluthwala isOhwe, isivamelo, imisoco, imfucuza, amasosha omzimba, nemizwayi yokuyabiza (amachicho). Imigudu yomjikelezo wegazi emzimbeni ehlukaniswa kabili: umjikelezo wamaphaphu, omfanguza igazi emaphashini ukuze amukele isOhwe futhi adedele umCalahle ontuhlambili, kanye nomjikelezo wesimiso, othwala igazi kusuka enhliziyweni kuya emzimbeni wonke. Igazi ligukethe umtshoko othwala amangqamuzana, kuhlanganisa lawo asuka ezitshwini kuya emithanjeni aphinde abuye, kanye nobubende nomnkantsha.

==== Uhlelo lamadlala ====
[[File:Uhlelo lamadlala.jpg|thumb|Uhlelo lamadlala]]
[[Uhlelo lamadlala]] lwakhiwa amadlala [[Amachicho|wamachicho]] afana nalawa: imfomavange, isiqhoqhodo, izimfomavuso, amanyikwe, isiqhoqhodana, namadlala wenzalo, kodwa nezinye izitho nezicubu nazo ziyawakhiqiza amachicho ngokufanayo. Amachicho wamadlala asebenza njengesiyabizo zezinhlelo zomzimba eziya kwezinye ngokuphathelene ngezimo ezihlukene emzimbeni. 

==== Uhlelo lokugaya ukudla ====
Uhlelo lokugaya ukudla lwakhiwa ngumlomo kuhlanganisa ulimi namazinyo, uminzo, isisu (amathumbu amakhulu namancane, nendunu), kanye nesibindi, amanyikwe, inyongo nezagiga (salivary glands). Lolu hlelo luguqula ukudla kube imizwayi emincane, enomsoco, engenabuthi ukuze isabalale futhi imunyungwe umzimba. Le mizwayi iphenduka izakhamzimba, amafutha, amavithamini nezimbiwa. Emva kokugwinywa, ukudla kwehla ngamathumbu afanele ukusuka engxenyeni eyodwa kuya kwenye. Ukugayeka kokudla kuqala emlonyeni, ohlafuna ukudla kube izinezu ezincane ezizogayeka kalula. Bese kuyagwinywa, kwehle ngomminzo kuye esiswini. Esiswini, ukudla kuxutshwa nezimunyu zesisu ukuze kumonculeke imisoco. Okusalayo kubizwa ngomswani: kuthunyelwa ethunjini elincane, nalo elimunyunga imisoco namanzi emswanini. Okusele kufakwa ethunjini elikhulu, lapho kuphenduka khona amasimba: kube sekubekwa emdidini kuze kube yilapho kukhishwa ngendunu.
