	Shaka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 often said to have been dissatisfied with the long throwing assegai, and credited with introducing a new variant of the weapon—the Iklwa, a short stabbing spear, with a long, swordlike spearhead.
		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 Zulu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Shaka, king of the Zulus, devised innovative tactics and weapons to establish nineteenth-century Zulu dominance of Africa and increase his control over a population that began at 1,500 and grew to more than 250,000.
		Shaka's illegitimate birth in about 1787 to a Zulu chief and a woman of a lower-class clan led to his harsh treatment as an outcast, perhaps the root of his own future ruthlessness.
		Shaka also introduced a larger, heavier shield made of cowhide and 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, King of the Zulus
		Shaka's mother was a child of a deceased chieftain of the eLangeni clan and her name was Nandi.
		Shaka’s Zulu warriors or amabutho were truly legendary, and stories of the grueling and often cruel training are innumerable.
		Shaka had soon discovered that the crude sandals traditionally worn by Zulu men hampered his speed and agility, and as a result the army marched, ran, and fought bare foot - on sharp stones, through thorn bush, in deep sand, rivers and every type of terrain possible.

	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.

		Shaka was devestatingly intelligent, equally arrogant and only mildly ignorant because of his limited exposure to the outside world.

		Shaka was born circa 1787, son of a minor Zulu chief, but his mother was an unranked woman, and Shaka was a humiliated and discredited child.

		After 10 years of unrelenting warfare that placed incredible strains on the Zulu nation, Shaka, always psychologically unstable and obsessively worried about being replaced by an heir, finally snapped into derangement after the death of his mother in 1828.

		They parallel in so many ways, in fact, that Shaka is oft called the "Napoleon of Africa".
		The production was fraught with controversy (it was filmed in South Africa before sanctions were lifted) but tries to convey a complex and fascinating story set in a tribal Africa steeped in mysticism with ideas about life and death that were very different from Europe.
