the information on Mzilikazi is garbled; most of the details regarding Ndebele migrations is incorrect, and most dates are off by a year or two.
Sources vary, particularly with dates. Which are of concern? --Ctatkinson 03:24, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
I am also uncertain about the accuracy of several dates and I shall check back with details. However, the last paragraph is quite wrong after Mzilikazi's friendliness, there is no gold in Matabeleland; it is in Mashonaland and there was no influx of settlers at all let alone a flood until 1890 onwards and this has nothing to do with Mzilikazi. Mzilikazi is best remembered in South Africa for his 10 year rule of terror as he moved steadily westwards called the 'Mfecane' (the c is pronounced as the click noise made when irritated) and this deserves explicit description in the text--AssegaiAli 15:39, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Made some additions and alterations as first outlined above--AssegaiAli 16:18, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
The unnamed editor who added the paragraph about alternative theories of the effects of the Mfecane - please insert references because you are disputing a description that is widely accepted and for which there is numerous authoritative support. Otherwise it will be removed --AssegaiAli (talk) 21:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
