Shaka Zulu is back in pop culture

SHAKA kaSenzangakhona is universally recognised as the founder of what would become known as the “Zulu nation”.

He ruled from about 1817 until he was assassinated by his half-brothers in 1828.

He’s credited with elevating the Zulu from a fairly insignificant group, one among others, to a more unified “State”.
