Clan Names

My clan name is Bhele and seeing that I am a young lady,people will call me iBhelekazi or say mamBhele but I think thats used for older women. Im very proud of my clan name because I think that in some sort of way it keeps me grounded and somehow connected to my roots and ancerstors. It is not only my family that has this clan name but quite a number of familes throughout the whole country as well. There are about five families that I know of that have the same clan name and Im pretty sure that there are a lot more,Im just not aware of them. I think clan names are important because they tell us more about our ancestors and where we come from  

This clan has very interesting,talented, beautiful and handsome people if you not one of them too bad for you *mwhahahhahahahah*.
