About This Record
What Was Written Down
Junod names the Honwana, with the Mahlangwan and Nkumba, as the people found in Nondwane by the invaders, few in number and without iron weapons or ox-hide shields, who submitted and mixed with the newcomers. Recorded from the sources named on this entry; the wording here is Sibaya's own.
