Kuntjintja kwemagama esilumbi kusetjentiswe esintfu kusinyatselo lesihle lesibheke
embili. Kuluphawu lolu lolukhombisa kukhululeka kuntjintja emagama esilumbi
ngobe phela kute langakhulula tingcondvo tetfu ebugcilini lekudvunjwa ngaphandle
kwetfu. Ngubane, (1995) encwadzini lehlelwe nguMakobane nalabanye, (1995)
uyayisonga lendzaba nakabeka ngalendlela kubaluleka kwemagama esintfu:
African names are not haphazardly chosen. They are chosen
within the existential reality of the family, the sibling or the
larger community. They have contextual basis. Often the name
is a record of the happenings about the time of the birth of the
child; it may be a reminder of an important episode within the
history of society which may both precede the birth of the child
and/or survive it. The family history and the doings of the
ancestors may be neatly woven into the child's name. The
name given in this manner we have explained above is the
official name of the child, giving him/her the sense of
recognition, identity and sense of belongingness in society. The
name often expresses one's social potential and expectations of
him/her. The name given at birth is the true, great name the
child will always be called by the parents and those of the
parent's generation. This is superior to all other names he may
receive later.
(Makobane nalabanye, 1995:149-150).
Loku kufike kuvise buhlungu ngobe belumbi kulelive letfu bafike

Iigama lasesontfweni nobe lesilumbi Iikhombisa kuyikhetsa iNkhosi nobe kuphucuka
kubantfu labangakacacelwa kahle. lngani phela bewusuke ungakayikhetsi iNkhosi
nangabe usaneligama lesintfu kuphela lekuyintfo lengekho kubangekho. Bafundisi
bebaneligunya lekwetsa umntfwana Iigama lemehlo abo atawusheshe ahlangane
