He committed genocide.
How come you survived the Genocide. Please revise learn our history dont just go about yelling Genocide for some era you were not in.
How did he commit genocide? He combined many different tribes into one. He didn’t just eradicate people because they were of different origins
Every empire has committed countless atrocities, massacres to rule. The Romans did it to the Carthaginians, even here at home, remember Boer concentration camps by the British? even the Dutch themselves committed genocide against the Khoi in the Cape.
Shaka Zulu was heartless
The curse of Shaka Zulu left on his half brother’s has proven to be true because the Zulu’s kings reign is still in conflict with the Democrating government rule in some sections and the Kings as a result have limited authority but I will be forever thankful to him for uniting different clans under his Zulu kingdom hence he is sometimes called the King of Kings as a result.
Ndabezitha!
Inkhosi Yamankhosi.
Today I was just thinking about how these guys fought for us.
Every continent has a history of genocide, during that era almost all nations ruled with cruelty against other people…in fact even today it’s still happening in a discreet manner! #Human trafficking #orchestrated Drugs & alcohol infestation into certain communities # systemic Introduction of disease & medication dependency ….the list is endless
