Mfecane in South Africa and the African holocaust in general

[congobigp]

I agree to some extent with you on this one. Shaka has been painted by apartheid SA out to be a monster, sole responsable for that tragedy. He wasn't angel and would surely by todays standards be trialed for crimes against humanity but the casualties of the mfecane could have been caused by drought as well as some demands on the MOzambic coast.

What I hope is that things are not blown out of proportion by SA historians(I see that so much with activist historians all over the world) and that responsabilties are put in the right places. The reason I say this and insist on north africa is that lessons won't be learned and problems not solved if real reasons are not pointed out
