 Shaka - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
Shaka was born in the Zululand region of present-day southeastern South Africa.
His father, Senzangakhona, was the Zulu chief, and his mother Nandi, was a daughter of Mbhengi, the chief of the Langeni people.
Nandi, who would be Senzangakhona’s third wife, conceived Shaka while still betrothed and, according to tradition, attributed her growing belly to a shaka, or intestinal beetle.

When Senzangakhona succeeded his father in the late 1700s, Dingiswayo afforded him freer rein and military expansion in exchange for securing a 'buffer zone' against the Mthethwa's enemies.
Senzangakhona never lived to see the ultimate result of the Mthethwa- Ndwandwe battle for supremacy - he died in 1816, a year before the Ndwandwe defeated the Mthethwa army, overran their territory and killed paramount chief Dingiswayo.
All that now stood between the Ndwandwe and total dominance of the entire region between Phongolo and Thukela Rivers was the small Zulu state under its new leader - the illegitimate son of Senzangakhona and Nandi - King Shaka.

 King Tshaka ka Senzangakona Zulu   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Shaka was a son of Senzangakhona, ruler of an insignificant small chiefdom, the Zulu.
A more credible account is that the relationship between Nandi and Senzangakhona was illicit, and that Shaka was born in Langeni territory at the Nguga homestead of Nandi's uncle.
The relationship of Senzangakhona and Nandi seems to have been unhappy and ended in the chieftain driving Nandi from his court.

However, Dingiswayo from Mthethwa made a pact with Senzangakhona to give him freer military expansion in the region if he would secure a buffer zone between the Mthethwa state and the Ndwandwe state.

Today, as in generations past, we are united by a great son of Africa, King Shaka ka Senzangakhona, as we celebrate his memory and his legacy, the mighty Zulu Nation.

It is the legacy of King Shaka ka Senzangakhona that urges the Zulu Nation to be tactical warriors in waging the battles we enter.
