SHAKA ZULOU
A Little History
Shaka was the illegitimate son of the Zulu
chief Senzangakhona and the young girl Nandi, a member of the Langeni clan.
As a young man, Shaka joined the army of Dingiswayo and soon became its
highest commander. With the support of Dingiswayo he gained supremacy over
the Zulu clan, enforcing his claimagainst his opponents with the most
ferocious brutality. Under Shaka the Zulu territory expanded phenomenally.
All the clans had to subject themselves to the one leader. At the beginning
of the 19th century, Shaka had created the most powerful kingdom in the
whole of southern Africa.
Towards the end of his reign, Shaka used his
power even more destructively. He chased his army from one battle to the
next, and the cruelties against his enemies became more outrageous.
Eventually Shaka was assassinated by his half-brother Dingane in 1828.
And now after 175 years he returns.
