'''Ntsele KaMashiya''' was the King of [[AmaHlubi]] from 1735 until his death in 1760. He fathered [[Bhungane II]] who ascended to the [[Hlubi]] throne in 1760.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Mntungwa |first1=Lwasi |title=The History of the Hlubi Nation |url=http://xhosaculture.co.za/the-history-of-the-hlubi-nation-amahlubi/ |website=Xhosaculture |access-date=29 November 2019}}</ref> Ntsele is widely known for leading the AmaHlubi in a battle against the then AmaNgwane tribe led by Tshani and came out victorious. His reign was at the pre-period of both [[Hlubi]]'s prosperity led by [[Bhungane II]] (son) and the period of power-struggle and fragile state of the tribe which was at peak during [[Mthimkhulu II]]'s reign (grandson). He's also hailed and widely referred to as "Nasele", especially by Hlubi residing in [[Eastern Cape]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://members.iinet.net.au/~royalty/states/southafrica/hlubi.html |title=Genealogy |access-date=2019-11-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180903235233/http://members.iinet.net.au/~royalty/states/southafrica/hlubi.html |archive-date=2018-09-03 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name=LeadershipSubmission>{{cite web |url=http://www.mkhangelingoma.co.za/heritage/history.pdf |title=Isizwe SamaHlubi: Submission to the Commission on Traditional Leadership Disputes and Claims: Draft 1 |author= |date=July 2004 |publisher= |access-date=28 July 2011}}</ref><ref>[http://embokingdom.africa/royal-family/the-house-of-bhungane.html House of Bhungane ]</ref>
