	Ndebele People, their history :::: Bulawayo1872.com :::: Bulawayo1872.com
		In 1831, the Ndebele of Mzilikazi who had fashioned a military state on the Zulu model north of the Vaal, invaded Lesotho.
		Resulting from the nature of the growth of the Ndebele Kingdom, the social structure of the Ndebele was such the Ndebele state was stratified into three groups/classes, the Zansi, Enhla and Hole.

	Ndebele's Criticism and Counter-Criticism
		If Ndebele insists on his tireless propagation of a type of literary tradition in South Africa, he must clearly see that literature is so wide and varied that to try and confine it to a particular tradition for whatever reason, would be like trying to confine the wind to a particular direction.
		Ndebele evokes the sense of the writer's accountability to the majority African population, even if, as he acknowledges, the writing itself lands up in most cases in the hands of a white liberal readership.
		Ndebele's boy protagonists in these stories celebrate victory by defiance, endurance, and fulfilment — the boy refuses to play the violin, he takes an unauthorized, risky run in the rain, he is disobedient, and he sheds all belief in the supernatural.

		Like the Ndebele culture itself, the style of wallpainting is in a constant state of becoming: assimilating and appropriating from the long-held spiritual beliefs of the Ndebele people as well as influences from the more and more culturally dominant and technology driven West.
		Many Ndebele were prevented from leaving at the end of the five-year term, and even today, more than 100 years later, there are still laborers working on farms whose conditions have not changed since their ancestors were indentured in 1883.
		From the early to mid-20th century, the Ndebele were in the wilderness, figuratively and literally, and as a result, maintained a strong tribal identity in the face of the government forces that sought to destroy them.

	Welcome to South Africa
		The distinct beadwork and geometric mural art of the South Ndebele of the eastern Highveld was born of a need by one of the smallest groups in South Africa to express their cultural identity during cataclysmic times as well as a desire by its womenfolk to assert their individuality in a strictly patriarchal society.

		The vibrant South Ndebele mural art that so enlivens the sometimes drab eastern Highveld is a talent passed from mother to daughter.
