The place of him becoming a murderer just to honor the passing of his mother, that's some serious act... You definitely can't get away with that in this dispensation.
Dig in!
Shaka Zulu is one of the most famous (or notorious) leaders to have graced Southern Africa in the past few centuries. Hate him or love him, if you have any interest in the history of
Southern Africa , you must have heard about Shaka Zulu, the renowned personality that established the Zulu tribe . Many respect him, some revere him while some others just plain wish he were still alive. Zulu is one of those people that demonstrated the true spirit of Africa.
Shaka Zulu really loved his mother. This must have been brought about by the fact that he was an illegitimate son of a chief, who was then banished – together with his mother, to live with his mother’s people away from the royal house. History has it that they moved from place to place. Later on, he was trained by Dingiswayo who taught him much of his military knowledge. Dingiswayo subsequently helped him come into power. Throughout his reign, Shaka Zulu was inseparable from his mother.
Shaka Zulu Killed Many Zulus To Mourn His Mother’s Death
When his mother died, he declared a mourning period of more than a year. During this time, crops were not planted and any woman who became pregnant was killed, together with her husband. All the cows that gave birth were killed so that their calves could know how it felt like to lose a mother.
Before Shaka, Zulus did not exist. Instead, there were many small Nguni tribes occupying most of what is called KwaZulu Natal in South Africa today. Ngunis were like many tribes in Southern Africa; they were organized into many tribes that coexisted along one another. There were frequent squabbles, but nothing too serious. Shaka strengthened his own tribe and started conquering neighbouring tribes through both war and diplomacy. He then named them Zulus, after Dinizulu, his grandfather.
