A.T. Bryant  credits the iKebezane assegai to Swazis, Natal Natives and Mpondos.  All Nguni's as well as the Zulu's if I under stand the anthropolgy right. All those tribes surround Zululand.    
 
By trade, by conquest, to the victor go the spoils.  Food, cattle, weapons and women.   
 
I will be spending Christmas at  Isandlwana Lodge and they have arrange for me to visit a blacksmith.  I hope he can shed some light on this.
