Sifuba-Sibanzi, 'the Broad-Chested One', is a redeemer figure of Xhosa religion, an awaited deliverer whose reign is to bring lasting peace. The name is generally traced to a Khoi title for the deity, taken up by the prophet Ntsikana, who declared the coming of the Broad-Chested One and joined to it the praise-name uNapakade, 'the Eternal One'. In him older Xhosa expectation and Christian messianism converged, and sources differ on whether he is best understood as an indigenous redeemer, as a name for the supreme being, or as an identification with Christ. As a figure of ultimate authority his name was later invoked in Xhosa prophetic movements, including the beliefs surrounding the cattle-killing of 1856-1857.
