OlwaseNcome lukhunjulwa ngezindlela ezahlukene

Noma-ke amaBhunu amaningi aqhubeka ngokukholwa ukuthi anqoba kodwa akwaziwa ukuthi kungani aqala ukugubha lolu suku emuva kweminyaka eyayingama-22 ngowe-1860. Nakhona lapho balubiza ngokuthi; “uSuku lukaDingane” (Dingane’s Day). Akwaziwa kungani amaBhunu akhetha ukubiza lolu suku lwawo olwaluyingcwele ngesitha sabo.

Kodwa-ke izizukulwane zawo zaqhubeka nokulubungaza lolu suku, isibonelo, amanye amaBhunu ahambela isikhumbuzo semihlahlandlela yamaBhunu (iVoortrekker Monument ) esavulwa ngowe-1949 ngomhla ziyi-16 kuZibandlela ePitoli.

Kodwa kwathi iNational Party iphatha umbuso ngowe-1948, yenza umhla ziyi16 kuZibandlela usuku lokugcizelela ubudlelwano babo obukhethekile noNkulunkulu. Base belenza iholide lomphakathi ngowe-1952 base belinika igama lwabizwa “usuku lwesifungo” (Day of the Covenant noma Day of the Vow).

Kanti kuningi labengabadi, ikakhulu amaZulu, laliziqhenya ngalolu suku ngoba amabutho akwaZulu abonisa ukuhlabana nobuqhawe babo kumaBhunu.

Ukuzigqaja ngalolu suku, umbutho wokuqala owasungulwa ngabengabadi waseNingizimu Afrika uKhongolose (African

National Congress) wasungula ibutho lawo uMkhonto Wesizwe ngomhla ziyi-16 kuZibandlela ngowe-1961 futhi walubiza ngokuthi uSuku Lwamaqhawwe (Heroes Day).

Lolu suku lusagujwa nanamhlanje noma sekwadlula iminyaka engama-20, ngaphansi kwentando yabantu kodwa lubizwa ngoSuku Lokubuyisana.

Okunye okuyindidane ngomlando wakuleli, ukuthi amaBhunu asalugubha phesheya kweNcome phakathi komfula nodonga, kanti uZulu naye usakugubha ukuhlabana kwakhe eduze kwezibuko labafazi. Le migubho iqhelelene ngekhilomitha elilodwa kuphela.

Ngemuva kokuhlabana Ophathe, uDingane waqongelela izibhamu eziningi wayesebutha maphakathi ehlathini isiThunyisa, esasihloma ngezibhamu zesimanje, kuhle kweNdumezulu kaShaka.

UDingane wayefuna ukubhubhisa amaBhunu ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke, wahlela eyayisusa uthuli lwezichwe eyayizokwenza uShaka abenomhawu. Ngeshwa konke ayekuhlela kwaphelala phakathi kwekhanda lakhe ngoba uma ekhuluma wayethatshaliswa ngisho namabutho imbala.

Umkhandlu wezimpi wawuvumelana naye uma kuhlelwa impi, kodwa benze abakuthandayo enkundleni yempi, bekwenza ngamabomu. Nangu noNdlela owayesenomkhuba “wokwehlulwa”.

AmaBhunu agcina ezwile ngezinkinga zikaDingane, ase ehlongoza ukumlekelela ezinkingeni zakhe. Bathi uma wayengahlawulela izimpi zikaZulu namaBhunu ngenyoni kayiphumuli ezaziyizi-10 000, babeyosayinda isivumelwano sokuthula naye futhi bamvikele nasemabuthweni akhe.

Kwethuka wonke umuntu evuma uDingane, waze wazicelela ukuba bamnike isikhashana sokuhlela izinkomo. Wangazithinta ezakoMkhulu, kunalokho waphaka uNdlela namabutho amane, kanye nezikhonzi zabamhlophe uRobert Wood noJohn Cane ukuyophanga izinkomo eSwazini.

UNdlela wamazisa uDingani ukuthi wayengavumelani nokunika amaBhunu izinkomo.

Kodwa wawagasela amaSwazi wangena waze wayofika enkabeni yezwe lawo, eMzompofu ngakwaManzini. Yabambana isikhathi esincane nje, laduma ladlula nawo amaSwazi kwasala abaningi enkundleni, waphanga izinkomo ezimbadlwana nje, wasehlehlela nganeno koPhongolo.
