THE ORIGINS OF THE ROYAL SALUTE : BAYETHE !!!!!!!🇿🇦🇿🇼🇿🇲🇲🇼🇸🇿
The royal salute Bayethe ! is associated with King Dingiswayo (born Godongwana) of the Mthethwa kingdom. His political career marked a watershed in the history of Southern Africa , in the early 19th century.
He created a massive confederation of kingdoms in the area in present KwaZulu -Natal using a highly sophisticated political system characterised by a disciplined military with techniques of drills and formation movements under a chain of command. This model was to be later adopted by his mentee King Shaka in building the Zulu empire. At this point, the Zulu were part of the Mthethwa confederation.
At the peak of his rule King Dingiswayo became like a very big tree which provided shade for clans under his confederacy, to rest under his protection.
The royal salute, "Bayethe", ("bring them") is conceived to have originated in these circumstances.
It comes from "Mabayethe" ("Let them bring") or "let them pay tribute," or even "let them bring clans" in the "Yeyeza" or "Thefuya" Nguni dialect as used by the Mthethwa people in those days. The concept became entrenched as "Mabayethe".
This royal salute was often shortened by King Dingiswayo's inyosi/imbongi/ as "Bayethe" until it became the standard word used by the people.
In our present day isiZulu🇿🇦 or isiNdebele 🇿🇼 dialects the royal salute would strictly be "Mabalethe" and "Balethe" in short.
However, to date, the original Yeyeza or Thefuya pronounciation has been preserved by all Nguni speakers in its original form as : Bayethe!!!!!!!
Afterthought: "Bayede" or "Bayethe" ? Language evolves with time. "Bayethe" is the more accurate and common spelling. "Bayede" is sometimes used, potentially as a simplified or slightly informal variant.

Independence in Zimbabwe has been a colossal failure. Poverty has become every Zimbabwean’s experience and it is an ongoing concern. And it’s not something that seems to be improving.
It is worse now than it was at independence.
