South Africa, Zulu Herders, 19th Century

---

Zululand. The Kingdom of Zulu (1816-97) was a monarchy in Southern Africa that extended along the coast of the Indian Ocean from the Tugela River in the south to Pongola River in the north. Traditionally farmers and cattle herders, the Zulus were settled into areas in which the land often was unusable. Brief rebellions against white rulers arose and were quashed several times in the 19th Century. Clan warfare among Zulus continued into the 20th Century, centering on conflicts over the dwindling supply of land in the reserves.
