About Dyosini kaNamba, Chief of the amaGqunukhwebe

Chief Phatho married Noxina daughter of Toyise from the Gasela-clan as senior wife and had a son named Dilima. Chief Dilima's senior wife was the daughter of Ndileka (a Chief of imiDushane kaNdlambe tribe) and had a son called Namba. After succeeding his father, Chief Dilima ka-Phatho picked-up his father's spear and took the battle to the colonists and he was later arrested and imprisoned in Robben Island. Chief Namba ka-Dilima had four sons Khangelanzima; Sofutha; Mkhanya and Dyosini. Both Khangelanzima and Sofuthe unfortunately died as young men, before they could get married. The next in line to the throne of amaGqunukhwebe was Mkhanya, he had a son called Silimela who was unfortunately taken away by his mother after she had a strong quarrel with Chief Mkhanya. She never returned their boy and the Chief never bothered to search for his son, and he(Silimela) also never bothered to return to his biological father when he came of age. When Chief Mkhanya ka-Namba died, his younger brother and right-hand man Dyosini ka-Namba succeeded him. He had two sons, Rhamnwana and Nompempe through his wife Nontozimbi Rhatsha of Giqwa-clan.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gqunukhwebe
