What!?!
"1600"!? No mention of Mzilikazi? This "article" sounds like a bunch of crap. Zyxoas (talk to me - I'll listen) 22:37, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * No, man - this is the South African Ndebele people. I scheme you're looking for Ndebele people (Zimbabwe), hey? Go back out the way you came, through the robots, turn right along the side of the golf course and eventually you'll hit the N1. Then just keep on going north for about 650 kays. No, pleasure, don't worry about it - happens all the time... Humansdorpie 15:41, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Man don't change Ndebele history. Mzilikazi is an important figure on both borders, Mzilikazi left kwaZulu for KwaNdebele with 500 people and conquered part of Zimbabwe with tens of thousands mainly from KwaNdebele!!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.205.39.49 (talk) 02:45, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

This article contains a lot of POV, and should be rewritten.

Proposed merge
I have proposed a merge from History of the Ndebele people, which appears to be an unintentional fork. It will need editing and wikification but is an excellent and comprehensive piece that will significantly expand this article. Humansdorpie 15:44, 16 May 2006 (UTC) Forget it - History of the Ndebele people appears to be a copyvio -- Humansdorpie 13:11, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Mzilikazi(1800s) hid among the ndebeles when running away from shaka and used the identity ndebele to loose his trackers. He was Khumalo and never Ndebele. Ndebele was a founder of the Ndebeles who left the present day Natal with his followers to first settle in what is presently Heidelburg, then his followers settled in present day Randfontein then finally Pretoria(koMnyamana). When in Pretoria the king was Musi/Mushi who had more than two sons contrary to what is stated in the wiki article. Some of the sons were Manala, Ndzundza, Gwadube, Sibasa, Kekana, etc —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.151.129.210 (talk) 05:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism
This talk page and the article itself appear to have been vandalised and im not sure how to fix them :( —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.251.224.245 (talk) 23:27, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Copyvio

Traditional Leaders
I question the value of a long (and poorly formatted) list of names. —Tamfang (talk) 22:17, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
