Good question. I haven't seen any indigenous ancient South-up map from uMzantsi. The second way would be to find if there is an association between left and east and right and west. A cursory glance at glosbe doesn't seem so:
Mpumalanga - east
iNtshona - west
ekhohlo - left
ekunene - right
https://glosbe.com/en/xh/
Or South and up
uMzantsi - south
ezulu - up
umNtla - north
phantsi - down

Again, there doesn't seem to be any inbuilt correlation.
