Ngaphambi nangemva koMkhosi Wentwasahlobo, abantu benza uchungechunge lwemikhuba yomphakathi yokuvalelisa okudala nokungenisa okusha, bathandazele izibusiso nenhlanhla, bagubhe ukuhlangana kwemindeni, futhi bakhuthaze ukuzwana komphakathi. Le nqubo yokugubha ivame ukwaziwa ngokuthi “uNyaka Omusha WaseShayina”.
