	Nelson Mandela, South African history
		One of the king's sons, named Mandela, became Nelson's grandfather and the source of his surname.
		However, being only the Inkosi's child by a wife of the Ixhiba clan (the so-called "Left-Hand House"), the descendants of his branch of the royal family were not eligible to succeed to the Thembu throne.[2] His father, Gadla Henry Mphakanyiswa (1880-1928), was nonetheless designated chief of the village of Mvezo.
		Upon alienating the colonial authorities however, he was deprived of his position, and moved his family to Qunu.[3] Gadla remained, however, a member of the Inkosi's Privy Council, and was instrumental in the ascension to the Thembu throne of Jongintaba Dalindyebo, who would later return this favour by informally adopting Mandela upon Gadla's death.
