Hi everyone. Matt here. You may have noticed the change in narrator for the last few videos. I’ve been busy with a top secret project so Jack Rackam agreed to help me out. I mean, did you hear him pronounce Ngubengcuka? Awesome stuff. Anyway, you’ll still hear my voice from time to time and I will still be the one making the charts and responding to comments. So stay tuned ... I've got lots of great stuff planned for 2020.

At last I’ve been crying about this chart @Matt but finally. Your number 1 South African fan

Your pronouncing those clicks and many silent words, shows real dedication to your work, trust me it’s better quality than a lot f those who just want likes and following with shoddy work especially with African info hence the continent has been looked down. I am from the kingdom and indeed the last I heard of this was in school but lived during King Sobhuza 2’s reign. Thank you for sharing this, I’ve shared it with my son whom I realise he has to know his roots👏

Cool video! I wonder if we'll ever get all the details about the reign of Mswati II, they say he was quite the strategist and more ruthless than Shaka of the Zulus. Other nations referred to him as 'the terror of the east' and to this day Swazis are afraid to talk about his reign.

Thanks man! you've helped me connect the dots from my early school Social Studies /Defeqane times in the 80's and 90's.

Man, I gotta tip my hat to you for doing this. Most Westerners don't care about Africa or African history. Kudos. You just earned a Sub.

I really Love this , I hope it will be updated soon. Thanks so much .

Very cool vid. Always been fascinated with those South Africans mini monarchies

I'm from the Madiba clan, and we're considered _"nobles"_ I guess, because we are currently allowed to become chiefs and are not of the ruling lineage of the Thembu Kingdom. Currently, the Mandelas are the head of our clan as Nelson Mandela's grandson is currently chief.

Good job with the pronunciation, like the click sound in Incwala (written with the letter "c") at 1:22 edit: Yeah, I left this comment before I heard Ngubengcuka

No offense but can this guy narrate from now on? His accurate pronunciation of the names is really wonderful. I think it actually adds a lot to the feeling of the video.

Wow did well in our county family tree thanks

The mother of Princess Mantfombi was Inkhosikati (Royal Wife/Queen) LaFakudze. Sadly, Princess Mantfombi and her husband the Zulu King both died this year, almost a month apart.

The Swati are also the first group of the Nguni pple to establish a monarchy in Zimbabwe & that was queen Nyamazana when they had escaped the Mfecane & they defeated the pple of MAMBO in Zimbabwe & settled in Matabeleland South at a place known today as Mzingwane (umuzi wama Ngwane), their reign was short-lived bcoz they had arrived in the 1820 but by 1838 the first group of the Ndebele (Amatabele) under King Mzilikazi ka Mashobane arrived & engulfed them to be part of the Amandebele till today.

Wow! The pronunciation sounds awesome! I always have trouble with those beginning double consonants

Ngawe the 3rd was the 6th Swazi King, so certainly the story doesn't start there. I'd be happy to share with you more accurate facts

The Iroquois did not have a monarchy and they are quite famous for having worked in a semi representative democratic confederation of 5 tribes. The Europeans which wanted to talk to their chief and no others had a great trouble understanding that their wasn't such thing and this quite significantly had a negative impact on diplomacy.

From oral history, the Mlambo clan ruled an area stretching from present day Hazyview and to the South including some areas of Mozambique to Pongola.

Interesting to see the current Zulu king is part of Mswati. Which means they are now a one big nation.
