From Bhubesini to Protea Glen, clan names are a sign of respect on Isibaya. Whether it is a wedding, a funeral, the birth of a baby or war, a simple date or casual chat amongst friends, the characters on the show refer to each other by their clan names.
They say each other’s clan names and their own with their chest and with pride and it is always wonderful to see. If you share a surname with one of the Isibaya families like Zungu, Ndlovu or Ngwenya to name a few, it must fill you with pride to hear your clan names on the show. We take a look at them here.
If you don’t hear you own clan names on the show, why not share yours with us so we can share them with the rest of the Isibaya fans family:
