There is a small German community at Luneberg /Brienswieg, who bought some land from Shaka in early Victorian times . Quite unusual to see these blond blue eyed people , who have obviously been in Africa for generations .Been there at least five times on safari. A wonderful part of the world with fantastic bird life . The man to contact is Horst Filter at Luneberg for all manner interesting and world class tours .

This is the battle where Uncle Bill Beresford won his Victoria Cross. He came though when I was having a reading from Karen Jane Pryce (Medium) one day. She said that he had a medal with a red ribbon and he was very proud of his moustache.

My father was in South Africa during WW2 and the Zulus demonstrated a ‘stamping approach’ into the viewing circle. He said that the ground shook and it was terrifying to hear it getting closer.

Everyone knows how brave the Zulus were ..... I don`t think enough is said about how brave the Brits were too. Always facing massive odds .... obviously better equipped but it still took guts to fight the Zulus massed in such numbers.

Excellent Episode. I read where ZULU King Cetawayo was taken to London. Fitted in a tailored suit. And kept an Appointment to meet Queen Victoria. The Queen was impressed during this Monarch to Monarch meeting and stated Cetawayo should be allowed to RETAIN his kingdom! The Queen,s ministers informed her that the same men who provided for her Throne...wanted to unseat Cetawayo 🤔😡. Needless to say he left London essentially empty handed😠

People have to remember the human and animal cost that the Zulu’s war cost the other black communities around them. They either destroyed them or subjugated them. The British were no angels but neither were the Zulu’s.
