tactics yet unseen in Sub-Saharan Africa, Shaka’s reign would become one of
brutal conquest and absolute consolidation. By the end of his life the Zulu
Empire would be home to over a quarter of a million people and be the premiere
superpower of Southern Africa. On this episode we discuss Shaka Zulu, his life
and legacy.
