Ngwenyama usenta lunya kuze (The Paramount Chief has not done right)
This song of the Mahindani Regiment (Ihubo) is sung by a group of Swazi men from Pigg’s Peak, Swaziland. The song claims the Paramount Chief Sibuya has not done right in allowing the Europeans to create the Ngonini Estates at Mbhanbadane, Swaziland. The story that gave rise to the song describes how certain African employees of the Ngonini Estates seduced the wives of other men of neighboring villages. These men then declared that the Paramount Chief had done wrong in allowing the Ngonini Estates to be located at Mbhanbadane. The song is in a leader and chorus form.
