    The Zulu's and Boer's fought together against the British army, where was the ANC apartheids movement at the time of the wars??? Their religion came to South Africa in 1913, long after most of the wars was won. How many of our people was sent to concentration camps by the British and many young men murdered by the British army hanging them to windmills! The ANC movement has no claim on any land in this country except those who fought for our independence!

      The Boers and Zulus never fought together against the British. The British only fought the Zulus for a short while.
      The Boers/Afrikanas killed and brutalised far more black Africans and over a far longer period.
      Britain kicked South Africa out of the Commonwealth because of its racist behaviour during Apartheid.

    With all respect as a Zulu person in Kwazulu Natal i don't see how remembering this battle works in our advantage, as we Speak our current Monarch is a disaster.
    Again with all respect we need to prioritise growth and with the Youth being such heavy drinkers this battle wont matter in years to come.
    By the way how would we feel if the Afrikaaners celebrates their victories or the English celebrated their victories.....We will always cry Racism until the day comes and we learn to grow or use that history to create growth within ourselves but for now i just see a downwards trajectory.

    Great work ,,,,
    1- In order to understand history well, we must return things and events to their original names, not hide them through the lies of God or through fake racism,
    2- The name of the war is the war of the kaffiers against European religious colonialism, it was named this name because the African tribes rejected divine /god and religious superstitions.
    The ancient Zulus do not document history and events through writing, but through songs and storytellers,, These songs and these stories were not prayers, but sciences, wisdom , wars and wedding songs and how to deal with life, then become religous song after the churchs stole it for Christianity like how Ndlozi and IFP do today ,,,
    3- The queen and the Europeans felt a great danger, especially after some Englishmen and some Europeans left their religion and turned to life with the king in Ulundi .
    4- The queen and the churches supported the converted African Christians and exterminated the Africans who refused to embrace divine and religious superstition, this situation still exists in the Zulu Kingdom and all African and European parties.
    5- All respect and appreciation for what he said about lobola, it is slavery and a crime against humanity ,,lobola was never part of African culture and civilization, but was always part of the slave traders and mercenaries of religions, these are the customs of the Hebrew Israelites that the Protestants always support.
    6- We should be proud that we are of Kaffiers origins and that the Kaffiers resisted the occupation to the end and is still resisting, the Kaffiers in South Africa did not only resist the European Protestant and Anglican occupation, but resisted all churches of various types, they also resisted the Hebrew Israelites, white Jews, Hindus, Muslims and spiritualists.
    7- The current king is a product of colonialism and a symbol of defeat, weakness and slavery.
    8- If you bring two 14-year-old boys, one of them a Zulu believer and the other a non-believer (Kaffier), you will find that the believer only knows the Bible and the names of the prophets from Adam to Jesus, while the non-believer knows all kinds of herbs and knows how to deal with nature, animals and danger.

      Lol yes a kaffier means non believer (in arabic) but do not compare Christianity to other religions yes there was Judaism but Christ finished the work. Christianity is not a European religion nor were they the first. The ethiopians were the first Christians and they never got colonized, i wonder why. However the zulus are also bantu and are no different to other south africans.

    The Zulus must just remember they colonized South Africa aswell. They weren't the original inhabitants of this land. We, the children of the Khoi/Sun, are the real owners of the land. But we were the friendly inhabitants of the land that welcomed everyone. To our own detriment.

      @TheArchives-o9f The fact of the matter is they are the first people on the land. Not even history know how long they were here before the Africans and Europeans came. That makes them the original owners of the land. How do you think ownership of the ground started? Stop playing dumb to fit your colonizing agenda.

      Khoi & San are dessert dwellers, found mostly within the western parts of SA, going into Botswana and Namibia. They're hunter gatherers, hence they live within these regions.
      Zulus & other "Bantu" tribes inhabit the central and Eastern parts of S.A, due to the need for fertile lands, needed for agriculture.
      There was no need for war at all, there was no need to compete for land or resources. That story you've been told is a lie.

    Highlighted comment, the facts is our ancestors was educated people when they came to South Africa. Our history can factually been proven while your version is based on hearsay because your ancestors was illiterate. We brought education to South Africa and nobody else we brougt health care to our country, we developed our country, none of the blacks were in South Africa in 1652, only the Khoi San, this is confirmed by the Germans who was in South Africa even before the UK. Denial of factual prove is your problem not ours!
