did zulus ever use horses in battle? did they ever create a calvary? mounted zulu warriors on horseback? or did they never adopt the technology of the whites?

@Rico8458 The Zulu's themselves said they came far from the north and that would have been north of Umfolozi back then as that is were their tribe started before their great warring expansion. The Port of Delagoa was up that way. Did they build great buildings or boats - NO! So if they couldn't copy the Arab traders which would have been there to trade with zimbabwe at the time why should they copy the whites. Why wait for horses when you have elephants, rhino's zebra's etc???

@Rico8458

Shaka Zulu believed that horses were too noisy, the reason for the fall of the Zulu empire was Shaka's brother murdering him and taking reign over the nation who declared war on the Boers and English, while the Boers and the English were a war as The intentions of the English was to colonise it without resistance and the Boers knew this and stopped them...

@punkeruit1965 this is about history and people trying to live together in harmony. And you, you twat bring up racist comments. Without stupid people like you ,the world would be a better place. Because all over the world today a black man can never be racist. But whites are always accused of being racist. So, next time you and a white man can’t get along, he is not a racist he just don’t like you as a person because you stupid. And your comment you left proves it.
