Amagqabantshintshi

Iinkomo zinobunzima obukhulu kwizithethe zamaNguni, yaye amaphupha ngazo atolikwa ikakhulu ngokunxulumene nezinyanya. Abantu baseMpondo ekwenziwa kubo udliwano-ndlebe ngeminyaka yoo-1930 bathi ukuphupha ngokuphindaphindiweyo isilwanyana esithile kubonisa ukuba izinyanya ziyasifuna. Kwisithethe samaZulu, iphupha linokukhetha ukuba kuxhelwe esiphi isilwanyana. Igqirha elingumXhosa latolika iphupha lomfundi oliphupha inkabi njengomqondiso wamatyala esithethe awayekade engahoywanga ixesha elide. Abantu ababeqeqeshwa ukuba ngamagqirha baphupha ngenkunzi yenkomo enobuso obumhlophe, ngokuxhelwa kwenkomo ngokwesithethe, nangeenkomo ezininzi ezimi ngesangqa, nto leyo eyabonisa ukuba uqeqesho lwaluphela. Omnye umntu ekwenziwa kuye udliwano-ndlebe ongumZulu wathi ukuleqwa ziinkomo kubonisa ukukhulelwa. Imithombo ayifane icacise iinkcukacha ngemibala, yaye buncinane ubungqina bamaphupha esiSotho, ngoko ke iinkcazelo ngeenkomo ezibomvu okanye ezimdaka azifakwanga apha.
