Umvelinqangi is the Sky God. He has a voice like thunder and is known to send down lightning bolts. He descended from heaven to marry Uthlanga, and is said to have created the primeval reeds from which Unkulunkulu emerged. Separate but related histories attribute male and female gender to a god with the same name and similar attributes.

The agricultural goddess Mbaba Mwana Waresa is his daughter.^[1]
