Aah! Bhele, Dlambulo, Khuboni...

We went up to the mountain with him to take photographs for his portrait and talked about praise singing and clan names.

      U Gudu usho ukuthi Gudukazi oyincwayo. Leso sibongo esakwa Mbhele. Esakwa Ntuli. Mphemba. Godide. Esakwa Sompisi. Esakswa Ndlela. U Khuboni naye usenguNtuli. Isizukulwane sakwa Ntuli. Kanti uQunta naye unguMbhele/Ntuli. UQunta ubaba kaMasalela. UMasalela ubaba kaGuqa. UGuqa ubaba kaSompisi. USompisi yena ubaba kaNdlela. UNdlela uzala uGodide.
