Mnguni was the leader of the Nguni nation who reached Southern Africa migrating from the North.
The Xhosa people, today considered a sub-nation of the Nguni nation, were historically referred to as AbeNguni.
Mnguni's name derives from the word Nguni, the name for the major ethnicity in South Africa.
Most of the different Nguni-tribes trace their lineage to Mnguni, the King of the unified (pre-Zulu, pre-Xhosa, pre-Ndebele, pre-Swazi etc.)
Mnguni Lethukuthula, (son of well-known Raymond S Mnguni) from Newcastle, Osizweni (KwaZulu-Natal) claims to be the prince and the upcoming leader of the Nguni clan.
