Mthimunye in the sources
Wikipedia’s article on the Southern Ndebele lists Mthimunye among the surnames the Ndzundza took after their split from the Manala, with Ntuli, Bongwe, Masombuka, Jiyana, Msiza, Bhuda and Mtshweni. It says nothing more about the name.
What the sources say
Neither the Commission’s determination nor South African History Online mentions Mthimunye, and a search for the name returned nothing about its origin or praises. For the wider Ndzundza history see our Ndzundza and Mahlangu pages, and our Msiza and Masombuka pages for two other names on the same Wikipedia list.
Cautions
This page rests on one list entry in a Wikipedia article that is itself flagged as needing citations. We found no Mthimunye chief, origin story, praise text or totem.
Izithakazelo and totem
We are printing no Mthimunye praises or totem because none has been confirmed. If you belong to the Mthimunye and recite your izithakazelo, we would like to record them, with your permission and credited to you.
