Zulu kaNtombela

Zulu kaMalandela, son of Malandela, was the founder and chief of the Zulu clan which came from the Ngunis. The Zulus and the Qwabes come from the Nguni, when the King of the Ngunis (Malandela) died he divided the Kingdom into two clans, The Qwabes and the Zulus. In the Zulu language, Zulu means heaven.

When his father Malandela died, his eldest son Qwabe fought his younger brother Zulu, causing his younger brother Zulu, along with his people (Zulus) to be exiled from the land of Ngunis and Mambos because they killed more people in that fight and they became wanderers (Izinzula).

He led his followers North of the land of the Ngunis and he settled in a country called Mozambique in our days, that is where he first encountered the Portuguese people who were led by Kapitano, he traded with the Portuguese people.
