Meaning:
The Khumalo clan are historically proud warriors and strategic leaders, descending from Khumalo kaMntungwa and including legendary figures like Mzilikazi (founder of the Ndebele nation) and Lobengula. Their praise names reference power (e.g., “Zindlovu”—“elephants among people”), royal children, and mountain symbolism.
