English Summary The descendents of their history and family tree is drawn above and shows that they are a generation of Malandela the king of the Nguni. The Sibiya clan were not very popular as war warriors but were good in hunting. They were also very wealthy and had lots of cows hence their surname even says they never use fencing to surround their kraal for protection against enemies and wild dangerous animals but they had so many cows that they used the cows for that. #Sibiya
