AmaMpondomise
The Mpondomise are an ethnic group originating in South East Africa’s traditional Southern Nguni and Mbo lands, currently inhabiting Eastern Cape, KwaZulu Natal and Western Cape provinces as subdivisions of AbaMbo nation.
Oral tradition holds that AmaMpondomise are descended from King Mpondomise, who was born twin to King Njanya. Following Njanya’s death, his older twin Mpondomise left Great Place and established Mpondomise kingdom; later joined by followers as it expanded.
There has long been debate regarding which twin was senior. According to Mpondomise belief, Mpondo may have been considered as such due to his rights of skinning certain animals and having more power within their father’s kingdom.
Though these Mpondomise are slowly losing their identity, due to being exposed to Xhosa at school and required to select this language on government forms. They should protect their unique culture which should be safeguarded; additionally they have written a history book entitled “Siyembe Njanya KwiMpondomise Ngaphambili Njengokuba Kumqondwe”. This can be purchased.
