Description
Sigidi kaSenzangakhona commonly knows as Shaka was a great Zulu king and conqueror. He lived in an area of south-east Africa between the Drakensberg and the Indian Ocean, a region populated by many independent Nguni chiefdoms. During his brief reign more than a hundred chiefdoms were brought together in a Zulu kingdom which survived not only the death of its founder but later military defeat and calculated attempts to break it up.
As he grew to manhood, Shaka began to discover new talents and faculties. Outwardly, he was tall and powerfully built, and his skill and daring gave him a natural mastery over the youths in his age group.
I wish not to delve so much into the history of this Great son of Nandi. His stories are well documented in WWW. One thing is for sure, the world is not going to forget about Shaka in the next several decades or centuries!

👍 - ANTHONY you created a powerful portrait of King Shaka. You also caught the intensity Henry Cele brought so superbly to the role he played as Shaka in the Movie / TV series 'Shaka Zulu' ! -

Eventually the faces become the true look of the character when the actor and the real person become one. Thank you Hartmut

Thanks Hans. He was a great warrior but also had his failings like all of them do
