I am thinking of doing an article on Shaka Zulu. This guy was pretty extraordinary. He pioneered reforms that would see him from taking charge of a small tribe to forging the new Zulu Kingdom. He took over large swathes in the south east of South Africa and would control eighty thousand men in his ranks from a population of a quarter of a million. He ruled for twelve years and although he was assassinated, was cruel and barbaric, his reforms impacted on the Zulu kingdom greatly.
Even after his death the spirit of Shaka Zulu lives on and helped the kingdom to become a respected and fierce people in times of battle. I mean his reforms would allow the Zulus to give the British Army such a torrid time at Isandlwana. Zulu was known as the Napoleon of Africa for his military reforms but also because he was able to use diplomacy to absorb tribes into his kingdom.
Is it alright if I do write an article on Shaka Zulu? I mean it would be unique to do an article on an little known king outside of Africa. He is the most famous ancient warrior-king to come out of Africa anyway.
The guys at RTWH said that Shaka Zulu was in the time frame of Napoleon so I have to ask you guys.
General Rawlinson- This is most unsatisfactory. Where are the Sherwood Foresters? Where are the East Lancashires on the right?
Brigadier-General Oxley- They are lying out in No Man's Land, sir. And most of them will never stand again.
