Genealogy and history


The Dlamini clan can be traced back to a man known as Dlamini I, who was also called Matalatala. He is said to have migrated with the other Bantu people from the Great Lakes Region of East Africa during the Bantu expansion. Matalatala is the source of all known Dlamini clan names. The Dlamini clan can be found in all of the ethnic groups of the Nguni branch of Bantu people in South Africa and Eswatini. Dlamini clan praises differ depending on whether they are Dlaminis from the Xhosa, Zulu or Swazi branch of the Dlamini clan.

In the early 19th century, the Swazi branch of the Dlamini clan's centre of power shifted to the central part of Eswatini, known as Ezulwini valley. This occurred during the rule of Sobhuza I. In the south of the country (present day Shiselweni), tensions between the Ngwane and the Ndwandwe led to armed conflict. To escape this conflict, Sobhuza moved his royal capital to Zombodze. In this process, he conquered many of the earlier inhabitants of the country, thereby incorporating them under his rule. Later on, Sobhuza was able to strategically avoid conflict with the powerful Zulu kingdom which was now ruling in the south of the Pongola River. The Dlamini dynasty grew in strength and ruled over a large country encompassing the whole of present Eswatini during this time. They formed the House of Dlamini, the reigning royal family of Eswatini.
