More The Zulu Tribe Of Africa
KwaZulu-Natal is the smallest province in South Africa, yet it contains the remnants of the once powerful Zulu tribe. The history of the Zulu people is rather short in comparison to other tribes in Africa. In this essay I hope to briefly discuss the Zulu history, what makes them unique, the Zulu religion, the interaction with the British colonial groups, how the Zulu nation came to come into power, and where the present day Zulu people stand in society today.
It is not known exactly when or how the Zulu tribe came into existence, but it is thought it originated around the 1620’s. Because there is no real evidence that describes the origin of the Zulu people, one has to filter through some of the …show more content…

At the turn of the 19th century, the Nguni people were made up of a number of sparse clans or tribes including the Ngwane, the Zulu, the Mthethwa, the Pondo, the Tembu, the Xhosa, and the Gona. Dingiswayo, chief of the Mthethwa, had set up a standing army, each with its own uniforms and colors, and then incorporated conquered tribes into his army as allies, rather than taking them into slavery. This included the Zulu tribe that numbered about 2,0005.
Zulu’s successors consist of men by the name of Punga, Mageba, Ndaba, and Jama6. Towards the end of the 18th century, Jama was succeeded by Senzangakona, who became involved in an “illicit” love affair with a young girl by the name of Nandi. Around 1787 Nandi bore the chief a son, and named him Shaka7. Young Shaka’s childhood was not happy, and he and his mother were banished by Senzangkona, and they left to make a living as best they could. This had a dramatic effect on the life of Shaka and greatly influenced his very productive life.
