I would be grateful if other editors would expand the article by making use of the following excerpt:
The question of the particular church to which the queens or queen mothers belonged as individuals was never a major issue, and, in effect, their membership accentuated the sanctity of dual sovereignty. Both Lomawa ... and Nukwase ... were of the Esikoteni branch of the Ndwandwe clan. They were historically associated with the first missionaries, Wesleyans, in the south. ... Nukwase's successor Zihlati was not a "mother" but a senior wife of the same clan, the Ndwandwe, but of a different branch, the Elwandle. This group had special responsbilities in the annual rituals of kingship and was not affiliated to any particular church. Once appointed and granted the sacred insignia of office, Zihlati was symbolically transformed from queen to queen mother and was addressed by Sobhuza as "Mother." Zihlati died in January 1975, and Sobhuza selected as her replacement Seneleleni, another Ndwandwe queen, also from the Elwandle.

Request to revert dubious edit by User:177.42.223.250
[edit]Hi Tigercompanion25, you made an edit to Zihlathi Ndwandwe/Mkhatjwa that fixed a typo in an earlier edit, which was by User:177.42.223.250. Unfortunately, that earlier edit was not constructive: it introduced the unsourced claim that Zihlathi Ndwandwe was born on 29 June 1926. I have just spotted this, and discovered that User:177.42.223.250 seems to have a history of making unsourced claims about people's dates of birth. See, e.g.:

I am not directly editing the article, having declared a WP:COI (see above), but I would be grateful if you (or somebody else) could undo these edits. Your bolding of the subject name in the lede will need to be performed again, sorry. Thanks! zazpot (talk) 18:39, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
