Inkhosi ngiyo lesingatsa lomcimbi futsi watiwa ngekutsi ngumcimbi wenkhosi.
Futsi kuyacaca kutsi lapha ngulapho sive sitsintsana khona neMvelinchanti.
Matsebula (1993) uyibeka kahle landzaba nangemavi akhe atsi:
The ncwala is more sacred and religious than merely a ceremony.
It is not easy for the reader to understand what is meant by this.
Only those who have attended the occasion with an inquisitive mind
will understand this, particularly as regards the last six days of the
ritual. It is a thanksgiving occasion for the ending of year and
prayer for the new year. The king, as a unifying figure and a
national symbol, is the foremost actor. Hence it is called the
ceremony of the kingship. In a less seriuos interpretation it is
known as the first fruit eating ceremony. Although participation is
on voluntary basis, the atmosphere in the byre compels everybody
to take part, as is the case in any religious meeting.
