		Shaka was probably the first son of the chieftain Senzangakhona and Nandi, a daughter of a past chief of the Langeni tribe, born near present-day Melmoth, KwaZulu-Natal Province.

		Shaka is also supposed to have introduced a larger, heavier shield made of cowhide and to have taught each warrior how to use the shield's left side to hook the enemy's shield to the right, exposing his ribs for a fatal spear stab.

	Shaka The Great
		Shaka made many radical changes in military tactics; he did away with the wearing of shoes, as they prevented the soldiers from moving easily and quickly during battle.
		The method Shaka devised was: Hook the left edge of the enemy's shield with his shield, and spun him around with a powerful backhand sweep.
		Shaka's left side would still be protected by his own shield, but the opponent would be off balance, leaving him open for a stab with the assagai.

	The Nandi Tribe
		After he was killed, the Nandi people were so divided afterwards and until today, the Nandi people still remember that their spiritual leader played an important role in the unity of his people.
		As you can see, they theorize that the Nandi migrated from the north to settle along the border of Kenya and Uganda in 1800 A.D. However, I assure you that both the Watusi and the Nandi were only retracing migrations and expeditions conducted by their Biblical ancestors more that 7,000 years earlier.
		With that in mind, we might also conclude that Nandi, the name associated with the mother of Shaka Zulu, might very well have been the name of the tribe she originated from.
