The Zulu nation as we remember it was forged in a world of upheaval under the leadership of the intelligent, dynamic, and ruthless king Shaka Kasenzangakhona. Shaped by the tumultuous events known as the Mfecane, Shaka imposed and maintained a new order on his world by the force of his will, his innovative military tactics, and his brutal efficiency. After he was brought down by the assassin's spears, he was followed on the Zulu throne by two half brothers. And their reigns would collide in what many Zulus today remember as the moment the nation's soul began to break.
Join us in this episode for a fascinating journey through the reigns of these three Zulu kings.
