BeNguni — United as One
We are BaYomncayi, the children of Zwide.
From the great Ndwandwe nation at Egudu, through the fires of the Mfecane, to the hills of Eswatini — our blood remembers. This is the home of the descendants of Yomncayi, son of Prince Madzanga 1.
Nxumalo! Ndwandwe! Zwide kaLanga! wenawasegudu Wenawasegudunkhomo
From Zwide kaLanga to Eswatini.
Chief Ndlaludlaza Ndwandwe.
Six Tindlu of Yomncayi.
Those who walked before us.
Sive saseNgwane
"When the elephants of Zwide moved north, they did not lose their tusks — they planted them in the soil of Eswatini."
BaYomncayi today live in every corner of Eswatini and beyond. Some carry the Nxumalo and Ndwandwe names. Others are children of our mothers and sisters who married into other clans. All belong. All are blood.
Tindlu Tasekhaya
The Six Houses of Yomncayi
