Mtetunzima Ganyile, from Amanikwe Location, Bizana District, [Eastern Province, now Eastern Cape] was described in the motivation for his banishment as one of the leaders of the Pondoland revolt and ‘a strong supporter of the banned ANC [African National Congress].’

Mxoshwa Mdhluli and Mhlupeki Hlongwane were banished, from Ngoba Location, Bergville District, Natal [now KwaZulu-Natal] on 11 April 1957. Their banishment orders were related to the killing of five police officers during a dagga raid in February 1956; 22 of those responsible were apprehended and sentenced to death. In 1962, when Helen Joseph visited Mdhluli, he was living in a “dark and squalid”¦broken-down shack”  with “broken wooden frames for beds.”

According to Mdhluli:

Tensions between the Ntanzi and Bomvu communities developed in the 1940s, allegedly because Nembe Ntanzi, the hereditary leader of the Ntanzi section, “was dismissed from the office of induna [headman] by Nonkenkeza Ngubane, the Acting Chief of the Bomvu tribe.” Both of these communities lived in the Greytown District, Natal [now KwaZulu-Natal].’  

Mzondeki Makhunga, a resident from Ingwavuma District, Natal [now KwaZulu-Natal], was the head induna [chief headman] of Ntunja Mngomezulu in this area.

In 1965, after the death of Chief Zombizwe, Ntunja Mngomezulu was appointed Chief of the Mngomezulu community in the Ingwavuma District, Natal [now KwaZulu-Natal], following which unrest broke out.

An inquiry found that Ntunja was not the rightful heir.  Ntunja fled to Swaziland and had since then terrorized the community from his base in Swaziland.  There was an attack on the Chief, which left him paralysed for life. 

The documentation related to Ndhlovu Msutu’s banishment noted that he was appointed Headman of Msutu’s Location, Peddie District, [Eastern Province, now Eastern Cape] on 13 December 1920.

On December 1923, he was suspended “because he failed to carry out certain instructions in connection with the holding of a meeting.”  In July 1932, “Msutu’s increment was withheld due to unsatisfactory service.” In September 1933, he was charged with perjury and dismissed.

There was conflict in the Tokazi location in the Usutu Area, Nongoma District, Natal [now Kwazulu-Natal], around Bantu Affairs (BA), betterment and the role played by Paramount Chief (PC) Cyprian Dinizulu.

According to his banishment order, in 1957 Tuntubele Qeliso was dismissed from his post as headman of Ncolosi Location, Tsolo District [Eastern Province, now Eastern Cape], due to “misconduct.”

Twalimfene Joyi, alias Twalimfene Gobinamba, was a sub-Chief from Thembuland, Umtata District (Eastern Province, now Eastern Cape), and a cousin of Bangilizwe Joyi (a banished person who fled into exile to Lesotho). He was reported to have openly told the Under Secretary of the Native Affairs Department (NAD) that he was opposed to betterment. He also allegedly said that “all those who accepted Bantu Authorities and other schemes brought by the Government should be killed.” On 14 May 1958, he was banished to the Native Trust Farm Magagapere No.

Chief Daantjie Nkosi, Victor Nkosi’s father, was accused of encouraging his followers to “squat” on South African Development Trust land adjoining his area in Matsulu, Transvaal (KaNgwane Bantustan) [now Mpumalanga Province].

However, this land, which Chief Nkosi believed to be traditionally his, was allocated for settlement to another Chief, TS Dlamini, whose followers were “squatting” on white farms on the outskirts of Matsulu Township.  The KaNgwane Executive Council, to which Chief Dlamini belonged, called for Chief Daantjie Nkosi’s banishment.

William Tyabashe, Vincent Mbamama Hlamandana andMagade Madapu, all from the Tsolo District [Eastern Province, now Eastern Cape], wereissued with banishment orders on 16 June 1960.  They were all banished to Driefontein Native Trust Farm, Vryburg District, Northern Cape [now North West Province].
