Mthwakazi

Mthwakazi This word Mthwakazi is derived from the name of Queen Mu-Thwa, the first ruler of the Mthwakazi territory who ruled around 7,000 years ago. She was the matriarch of the Aba-Thwa, the San people who were derogatively called the Bushmen by conquerors.

Historically, the homeland was a sanctuary for the overwhelmed and peripheral clicks and clans from the adjacent pre-colonial Kingdoms of Southern Africa. Aba-Thwa, the San people are the earliest inhabitants of the land, and then from the north came the Tonga people, from the west the Tswana, from the south the Venda, Sotho, the Nguni,and from the east the Karanga of Mthwakazi to integrate with Aba-Thwa, hence the creation of the Inter-Cultural Society of Mthwakazi.

Today it is a colonized state since 1893. Mthwakazi to be de-colonized from Zimbabwe, will de-colonized in accordance with all United Nations declarations and resolutions.
