Uhlolojikelele

Izinkomo (inkomo) zibaluleke kakhulu emikhubeni yesintu yamaNguni, futhi amaphupho ngazo ahunyushwa ikakhulu ngokubheka amadlozi. Abantu baseMpondo okwakhulunywa nabo ngeminyaka yawo-1930 bathi ukuphupha ngokuphindaphindiwe ngesilwane esithile kukhombisa ukuthi amadlozi ayasifuna. Esikweni lamaZulu, iphupho lingakhetha ukuthi kuhlatshwe siphi isilwane. Umboni ongumXhosa wahumusha iphupho lomuntu osaqeqeshwa ngenkabi njengophawu lwezikweletu eziningi zemikhuba yesintu ezazinesikhathi eside zingakhokhiwe. Abelaphi ababeqeqeshwa babephupha ngenkunzi enobuso obumhlophe, ngokuhlatshwa kwenkomo ngokwesiko, nangezinkomo eziningi ezazime ziyindilinga, okwaveza ukuphela kokuqeqeshwa. Omunye owakhuluma naye ongumZulu wathi ukujahwa izinkomo kukhomba ukukhulelwa. Imithombo ayivamile ukuchaza imininingwane yemibala, kanti abukho ubufakazi obuningi bamaphupho obuvela esiSuthwini, ngakho izincazelo zezinkomo ezibomvu noma ezinsundu azifakiwe lapha.
