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].
