It could be! Do you want it to be?

A lot of ethnic groups in East and Southeast Africa share older mother tribes. Similar sounding languages may reflect this.
Nguni may originate from the same mother tribe as the Zulu/ Xhosa/ Ndebele. During the great migration south by black tribes, splinter groups stayed behind along the way. This migration reached the current northern borders of South Africa about the same time as the Dutch started settling in the South. At that time South Africa "belonged" to neither black or white, but to the San and Koi tribes.

In the time if King Shaka of the Zulus, many tribes fled to the North. If any of them moved as far as Tanzania I do not know, but a good place to start your research might be the wars under Kings Shaka. (Look at Mashona wars as well).
Hope this helps.
