 9 Zulu and Shaka
The Zulu were north of the Tugela River, but Zulu impis were sent south frequently; the rest of Natal had only small, isolated and very insecure little bands left in remote, out of the way places.
Although the Zulu were defeated by a Boer commando in 1838 at the battle of Blood River, Zulu society had recovered, and from the 1850s and 60s, white settlers in Natal had frequent nightmares about being awakened by Zulu warriors who would promptly dispatch them with a quick stab of an assegai.
Some African nationalists, not just Zulu either, invoked Shaka’s name and that of the Zulu Kingdom as a way to kindle pride in the face of the repression and humiliation to which Africans were subjected in the 20th C. But the legacy tends to emphasise traditional and military values.

 The South Africa Battlefield experience - KwaZulu-Natal 's Battlefields Route
Between his coronation in 1816 and assassination a mere 12 years later, King Shaka and his awe-inspiring regiments sallied forth across the length and breadth of modern-day KwaZulu-Natal, trampling and dispossessing all rival tribes in their path with the innovative weaponry and battle-strategies born of the king's military genius.
Many who fled before the all-conquering Zulu impis took refuge in numerous caves dotted amongst the scenic, undulating terrain southeast of Dundee.Without livestock or the leisure to plant crops, however, hunger soon drove these 'scatterlings' to desperate, grisly means of survival in the so- called Valley of the Cannibals.
While the Redcoats and impis were shedding blood on Zulu soil, anti- British sentiment was simmering north of the Vaal River, where in 1877 Voortrekkers had watched with deep resentment the annexation of their self- proclaimed Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek by agents of the Crown.

He was also the first to recognize the cultural significance of hip-hop by founding the Zulu Nation, an organization that instilled resistance of the thug life (Bam himself had been a youthful member of the notorious Black Spades street gang) in favor of peace, unity and the pursuit of knowledge through music.
