| The British endured similar military embarrassment at the hands of Indians, Afghans, Zulus and Boers. |
|
| A group of Griqua sold their lands in the Orange River Valley to Boers and migrated across the Drakensberg into land depopulated by the Zulus. |
|
| Unfortunately, the Zulus did not resort to guerrilla warfare as previous opponents had done, but fielded an enormous army. |
|
| The battle raged for several hours but the Zulus spears were no match for the Boers' rifles and artillery pieces. |
|
| The Ngoni, originally from South Africa, escaped from the Boers and Zulus and settled in Eastern Zambia. |
|
| Chelmsford deliberately did not entrench or laager, determined to show that his troops could face Zulus in the open. |
|
| The Zulus supported the apartheid regime and are a thorn in the side of the new government, which is dominated by the Xhosas. |
|
| The Matabeles are an off-shoot of the once mighty Zulus who conquered most of southern Africa in the early 19th Century. |
|
| Under his leadership in the 1840s, the Swazis expanded their territory to the Northwest and stabilized the southern frontier with the Zulus. |
|
| This battle, pitting the British against the native Zulus, has been thoroughly analyzed throughout the years. |
|
| Thank you to all my thousands of supporters, my people, all the farmers and all the Tswanas and Zulus who love me. |
|
| The great rivals to the Shonas are the Ndebeles, who are offshoots of the Zulus. |
|
| The resurgence of traditional practices is confirmation that like the other native communities of Africa, the Zulus feel renewed pride in their history and culture. |
|
| The Ndebeles consider themselves part of the Zulu nation and would ideally like to break away and form a new country with the Zulus in South Africa. |
|
| Wars against the Zulus in South Africa or against the Chinese in Indo-China seemed to be merely a waste of money and troops, with no clear European pay-off. |
|
| But once again, neither the Zulus nor the Plains Indians had artillery. |
|
| For thousands of years, warriors, such as the Vikings, Zulus, Native Americans, Samurai and many others, have followed a tradition of decorating their instruments of war. |
|
| The Zulus did it by beating their spears against their shields. |
|
| Its all-volunteer membership is made up of many different tribal groups, including Zulus, Xhosas and Vendas. |
|
| In 1834, it became the homeland of the Ndebele people, displaced by the Zulus under the command of Shaka. |
|
|
|
| On 16 December 1838, the Voortrekkers under the command of Andries Pretorius confronted about 10,000 Zulus at the prepared positions. |
|
| Due to the blood of 3,000 slain Zulus that stained the Ncome River, the conflict afterwards became known as the Battle of Blood River. |
|
| The Zulus came over the hills in waves, but the Voortrekkers shot them down from behind their wagons. |
|
| The Zulus of South Africa use a decoction of Sclerocarya birrea bark as a prophylactic remedy against gangrenous rectitis, and the fruit for the destruction of ticks. |
|
| The posh town with its Dutch-style colonial architecture is miles away from the shanty town in every sense, but I still found myself dancing with Xosas and Zulus. |
