Creator: Bani, Zanemali
Date Issued: 2011
Description: Historic record of AmaJobe community drafted by Chief Zanemali Bani. AmaJobe is one of the most ancient traditional communities in the Eastern Cape, tracing its history back fourteen generations. Chief Sinuka, eight generations before Zanemali, the present chief was present at the battle between Tshawe and Cirha at the Mzimvubu river, during which battle amaJobe participated on behalf of Tshawe. This battle occurred some time before the year 1600, by which time amaJobe were already a distinct traditional community. The amaJobe are closely related to the amaNgwevu clan; in fact, Sinuka was the senior brother of Tshangisa and the uncle to Rhudulu.
