INkosi uThanda kaMpiyezintombi Mzimela yesiZwe saseMazimeleni, eMthunzini neNkosi Mthokozisi Mathaba yesizwe saseMacambini, eMandeni noMntwana uVananda, baqokwe emhlanganweni wamakhosi obusoNdini ngeledlule lapho bekudingidwa khona ngezinhlelo zalo mcimbi. ILANGA lithole ukuthi baqokwe njengabasizi boMntwana waKwaPhindangene, iNkosi Mangosuthu Buthelezi ongundunankulu kaZulu ozokube engumkhuzi wamabutho ngosuku lomcimbi.

Ngesikhathi leli phephandaba lingena esigodlweni, lihlangabezane nabantu abebeyizixongololo nabantwana basendlunkukulu, bephithizela. Endaweni okuphekelwa kuyona, bekunomama abebematasa emabhodweni bepheka utshwala.
