The Reform Party was formed after a leader of this ethnicity and Harry Schwarz signed the Mahlabatini Declaration of Faith. This was the ethnicity of the first African to win a Nobel Peace Prize, Albert (*) Luthuli. A leader of this ethnicity governed a region named for them prefixed with “Kwa-” before founding the (10[1]-5[1])Inkatha (-5[1])Freedom Party.
