About This Record

What Was Written Down

Listed by Netshisaulu among the totem-derived surnames. Wikipedia's Venda Kingdom article names Vhuronga as a region around the Levubu river; no source read connects the surname to it, so the region field is a hedge, not a fact. Recorded from the sources named on this entry; the wording here is Sibaya's own.
