	Zulu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shaka Zulu was the illegitimate son of Senzangakona, chief of the Zulus.
		Zulu music incorporates rhythm, melody and harmony — the latter is usually dominant and known as "isigubudu" (which can be translated as converging horns on a beast, with tips touching the animal, a spiralling inward that reflects inner feelings).
		Zulu is the most widely spoken language in South Africa, with more than half of the South African population able to understand it (Ethnologue 2005).

	Zulus
		The Zulu Nation covered a large territory that it included the conquered clan's land and the abandoned land by the fleeing clans.
		In 1816, Senzangkhona, the chief of the Zulu clan, died.
		The Zulus believed in an almighty or supreme being, whom they called Umvelinqangi, which means "the one who is always there." Their Umvelinqangi, they believed, created the universe, but had little to do with day-to-day affairs.

		The Xhosa, Pondo and Thembu of the Eastern Cape, (formerly Transkei) are major representatives of the South Nguni, while the Zulu, the Swazi of Swaziland and the Ndbele (in the present provinces of Gauteng and Mpumalanga) are of the Northern Nguni.

	Zululand: History of the Zulu Nation
		Related neither to the Zulu nor their deeply revered ancestors, the Bushmen were descendants of Early Stone Age progenitors who had enjoyed the same fruits of this bountiful terrain for a million-plus years before them.
		Following the tradition of Nguni heirs, Zulu used part of his inherited cattle herd as dowry for marriage - to this day it remains customary for the bride's father to receive cattle as compensation for the loss of his daughter's labour within the household.
		Whatever their number, Zulu's wives and followers accompanied the new clan head further south to the Mkhumbane River basin where, amid the tall euphorbia trees destined to become the symbol of chieftancy, the man called Heaven established his own small realm - the first KwaZulu, or Place of Heaven.

	Zulu BeadWork Home Page
		Traditional colours, colour combinations and patterns are still found in modern Zulu beadwork but the real eloquence is rapidly subsiding under the pressures of urbanization and culture change.

		Those who have travelled in South Africa and spent some of their time in the province of KwaZulu/Natal, might have been fortunate enough to have seen something of the colourful beadwork for which the Zulu in that part of the country are well known.

		His vision of an independent Zulu Nation encompassed a future of good administration and sound governance, in which the social structures of family, community and Nation assumed the task of meting out social justice.
		For this reason, we must strengthen our enduring struggle towards the unity of the Zulu Nation by resorting to the legacy of leadership and single-minded pursuit of a vision which inspired the Kingdom of King Shaka ka Senzangakhona.
		Today, we need to struggle for the same things for which the Zulu Nation has fought since King Shaka, and we need to fight with the same spirit of victory of King Shaka’s mighty army.

	Amazon.com: Shaka Zulu (1983) : Video
		The story follows Shaka,...son of the Zulu prince and his rise to greatness, but ultimately it's about the first interaction the Zulu nation had with British colonials and how everything in the royal court and the Zulu empire changes because of this first contact.
		Faure's story is distinct from other pre-apartheid accounts of Shaka's life in its positive retelling of the Zulu Nation's rise to dominance in western South Africa and in its admixture of military and personal history.
		South African director William C. Faure (who died in 1994) originally created Shaka Zulu as a 1983 miniseries broadcast in the U.K. Later released for theaters, this is the best-known biography of, and certainly one of the longest narratives about, the legendary Zulu warrior-king, Shaka.

		Not in the book: an explanation of the Zulu economy and society that supported their army.
		It begins as a celebration of the Zulu conquests of the 18th and 19th century under Shaka Zulu, the "Black Napoleon," and then retells the story of Isandlwana, Rorke's Drift and the other highlights of the Zulu wars.
