History with Hilbert just did a video on the Zulus too. Check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f81khsVmmNiyoKs.html

Hi, I am a Zulu and let me correct you, the Zulu kingdom did not begin from King Shake the Kingdom came began from King Zulu KaNtomela who we believe was the founder of the Zulu Kingdom. The Zulu kingdom was not powerful at that time because of the three powerful kingdoms which were the Ndwandwe, Mthethwa and the Ngwane, there were seven Kings before King Shaka, therefore, King Shaka is well known because of bravery and smart mind when it comes to Battles. He strengthened the Zulu kingdom and made it powerful then other kingdoms. so next time do your research properly and I don't blame you the Nguni people did not use literature when it comes on passing information to the younger generation, I got this information from my grandma. my grandma is from the Zulu kingdom and I'm from the Mthetwa Kingdom, peace...

Who's here after the death of queen regent Shiyiwe Mantfombi Dlamini Zulu

Proudly Nguni, Proudly Xhosa. Love the Zulu Nation

The Zulu people did not “explode onto the scene”! They were home. The colonizers tried to “explode” into Africa instead. Please convey the correct narrative.

Correction: King Senzangakhona was not a Swazi Chief as depicted here. Also, the photo used in King Shaka's name is not his, that is Henry Cele

When you play pool, does your opponent say "Jack, rack 'em!" every time like I would?

The is a danger of people tell our stories without consulting the people that they are talking about

Love to Africa! ❤️🇬🇭❤️🇬🇭❤️

If you are thinking of continuing this series: there is a really, not only the Ndebele and Shangane left Zululand, also the Ngoni's, under Zwangendaba. They walked all the way up to present-day Tanzania, settling in different groups in Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia. (I have a family tree if you're interested)

I'm South African from KwaZulu Natal and as much as there is some missing information but I have to commend you on the pronunciation. Spot on!

I am impressed by the way the narrator pronounces these local names or words. That is perfect. Well done on that!!!

As a Zulu I see incorrect information

Iqiniso elingaphelele liyasidukisa isizwe, some of the things in this video is not true, kuyiqiniso ukuthi ubukhosi bakwazulu babunjwa nguShaka kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi uzulu wayengekho, uzulu wayekhona efana nazo zonke izizwe ezazikhona kwelikaMthaniya okwathi lapho uShaka ethatha ubukhosi wathatha zonke lezo zizwe wakha isizwe esisodwa sakhothama ngaphansi kobukhosi bakwazulu. Asifundisaneni bakwethu, nisho uma ngiphaphalaza ningiqondise, zulomnyama kamalandela ngokulandela izinkomo zamadoda, nina benkayishana kamezi eyaphuza umlaza ngameva.

Still remember the Shaka tv show soundtrack "Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom"

May His Majesty King Zwelithini KaBhekuzulu forever Rest in Perfect Peace....BAYEDE

Expecting an African family tree at this rate

there's a new incoming King 👑 misuzulu

I never understand how videos such as these actually get dislikes! It's an information video for those of us interested in history. What's to dislike about them?

2:46 We are the Zulu, you be assimilated, your culture will learn to adapt to our own. Resistance is Futile.

Senzangakhona was not Swazi chief he was Zulu Chief

Hi there. I had to get this chart up again. I am South African and the Zulus are celebrating as they have just crowned a new king..thought you might be interested

Can you please do a video on the Lesotho royal family.

your information isn't accurate. i am Zulu myself. Senzangakhona was never a swazi chief the Zulus have always been a nguni tribe of there own Senzangakhona was the sone of Jama who was the son of Ndaba who was the sone of Mageba who was the son of Gumede who was the son of Zulu the first Zulu. Back in the days of Zulu there were many Nguni Tribes in south africa but they were never united. they were only united during the era of Shaka who expanded the Zulu Kingdom. Even so he never actually conquered all the tribes,

You should do the Moroccan monarchy or the Ashanti

King Goodwill Zwelithini ruled from 1968 - 2021. May His Soul Rest in Peace

Its a problem when the Zulu history is told by a non-Zulu. We might not have books but we know our history very well.

As a Zulu person I can easy tell you that this is incorrect.

Correction inkatha was formed by Prince Mangosuthi Buthelezi the grandson of Dinizulu.

Shaka born c. 1787, was the illegitimate child of Senzangakona, chief of the Zulu tribe and Nandi of the E- Langeni tribe. Nandi's mother, Mfunda (daughter of Kondlo, the Qwabe chief ) was of the Qwabe tribe. Due to a kinship taboo the Zulus could not marry people of the Qwabe descent, thus Shaka was doubly dishonoured. Eventually after much hardship he found sanctuary with the Mtetwa tribe under their chief Jobe. Jobe was followed by his son Dingiswayo as chief of the Mtetwas. When Sensangakona died in 1816 Shaka's halfbrother, Sigujana assumed the chieftainship of the Zulus , but with the help of Dingiswayo, Shaka ousted him and became chief himself.

The reason for the attack on the Afrikaaner was that during their first visit, many were wondering around like tourists esigodlweni. This made amabutho believe they gathering information for an attack. You can imagine the paranoia of the time. King Dingaane’s reign was marked by continous wars, there many songs (amahubo) complaining about how terrible a time it was.

TJOOOOOH YOUR PRONUNCIATION IS BETTER THAN MANY SOUTH AFRICAN CITIZENS!!!! Well done. clearly the citizens have no interest in learning.

Nandi and Senzangakhona were married, the other wives accused her of giving birth too early which implied she got pregnant earlier than she was married, ACCUSED! Shaka wasn't a bastard

Very nice🔥 do Sotho next🇱🇸

Rest in Peace to t King Goodwill Zwelethini who passed away recently. Alledgedly due to covid related illness

We are all from the Nguni/Ngoni Kingdom in South Africa - Similar Cultures and Spirituality. In South Africa we then created our own Kingdoms from our tribes - 9 of them. Some were previously called TBVC states , Lesotho and Eswatini are aslo South African but the 2 Kingdoms decided to rule their people indipendantly from the government of South Africa. Camagu !

This video is not about the the family tree of the AmaZulu since it only starts from King Shaka......another wrong info is that king Zwethini went to St Helena he did not go there his grandfather was the one who was exiled. Also King Zwethini's Mother is still alive she addressed the nation through Prince Mangosuthu following the Death of King Zwelithini ....

Could please do a Xhosa (AmaGcaleka and Rharhabe) family tree. I'm not sure if I could personally help out?

how about a video for the Basotho (Lesotho) Kings and Queens

I hope the Zulus are learning...the Zulu kingdom started by Shaka with the help of the MTHETHWA Paramoncy after he conquered small tribes around the region. Before Shaka there were different clans with their chiefs including the Zulu tribe with its chiefs starting from Phunga and Mageba up to chief Senzangakhona. Shaka Zulu consolidated all these tribes and the ZULU KINGDOM was born.

You have no clue what you're talking about, stop talking about things you read in libraries, come to South Africa and learn the true history.

As a Zulu, I would like a more extended version of this family tree starting from Mnguni (An extended cut if you will😅) It is so complicated, convoluted and intriguing it would be a blast. It's full of politics, war, mystery, incest, cannibalism... it's so f'ing crazy I think it would be awesome

Bayede wena weNdlovu okaNgangezwe lakhe INKOSI GOODWILL ZWELITHINI may your soul rest in peace.

This is a very cool tree, I wanted to say that King Goodwill sadly passed away last year and it is now his son who is king, King Misizulu.

IFP (Inkatha Freedom Party) never a minor political party in South Africa, but one of the major ones. Few things to be corrected, but thanks for showing interest to the King of AmaZulu nation. Sithi Bayeeeeeeeede!!!! to our king , MisuZulu ka Zwelithini.

Zulu people didn't explode into the scene they are natives of the land, it's as if they came from somewhere

Well done on the pronunciation of _"Cetshwayo"_ . Really shows you've went to great lengths to do do this as accurately as possible.

I'm offended, do your research properly. Thousands will see this falsehood.

"Shaka, when the walls fell."

new king added on this lineage this past week

It's amazing the number of ppl on here saying "it's a disgrace for a white man to do Africa", The channel does countries from all over the world. It's what they do. How do you not understand that? I have seen that there is compliants of some inaccuracies. If that is the case, that's to bad, but im sure it's unintentional. The European history goes back millennia so mistakes are made just from the sheer time span. Mistakes happen. So much disrespect given to a channel for what I'm sure took time and effort to get together.

Do Kardashians for April fools

This is incredible.

My mother is the niece of King Goodwill Zwelithini. Add us onto the Johannesburg branch that still lives to this day.

There's a great Sabaton song about them.

Thank you somuch for this interesting historie about the King even so its so Sad he passed away 🙏🙏

This is very interesting, nice one.

Well explained ❤ 🇿🇦your analysis is detailed. Looking forward to an update on the family tree given the recent passing of our King

Rest in peace king

I miss Matt’s voice commentary 😭😭😭

Many thanks for your article. There is a new Zulu king now. King Misizulu Zwelethini was crowned officially on Saturday 20 August after entering the great kraal and delivering the lion in accordance with Zulu tradition.

Thank you for this presentation and the good pronunciation of the names. Well done!

Something doesn't go well with me whenever a non African tells African stories. Please respect us and do proper research or let us explain ourselves to you and not the other way around...

Prince Mpande was crowned King by Andries Pretoius after the battle of Blood River between the Trekboere and Impi's of Dingane. This was a victory for Christianity and peace between the Boers and Zulu nation.

Zulu! Interesting

I deny the existence of Shaka Zulu, if you wanna correct me, show me a picture of him or his body remains (bones) or tombstone if he was really a king.

This channel has just won favour. Instant subscription 👌

Great video please do a video on The kingdom of Lesotho and Kingdom of Morocco family tree

Hilbert you narrated our history FACTUALLY 💯 Please excuse some of my brothers and sisters. English clearly is not their mother tongue 😅

King Zwelithini has never been to St. Helena, only King Dinuzulu has been there. When his father, King Bhekuzulu bowed out in 1968, King Zwelithini went to hide somewhere in the Transvaal region, not St. Helena. Also, Prince Mcwayizeni was a regent from 1968 to 1971, then King Zwelithini took over just recently (2021) when he also bowed out after almost 50 years in the throne. King Senzangakho has never been a Swazi Chief as per label on the chart.

Hi love your videos

Cetshwayo looks exactly like Misuzulu

The Late King Goodwill Zwelithini KaBhekizulu Ndabezitha Did not take refuge in Saint Helena, It was his Grand Father King Solomon kaDinuzulu who fled to Saint Helena. The Late King Goodwill Zwelithini KaBhekizulu Ndabezitha fled to Transvaal now known as Gauteng (Johannesburg).

You should do the family tree of the French Capetian Dynasty

In 1838 was Die Slag Van Bloed Rivier (The Battle Of Blood rivir).

I nearly shutdown this video when u said the British Army retaliated , we ddnt call them to come here to slaughter however they came here disrespected our ppl ,we don't take disrespect lightly .

You European don’t know what you talking about ........the Zulu kingdom did not start with Shaka it was simply most popular and came into expanding fruition with Shaka

Despite the blurry screen, I really enjoyed it! It's about time! Thank u❤✌🏾

I'm Xhosa and I love this.

By the way Shaka means lightning ⚡️in Bantu etymology - same as Horus, Zeus etc... Bantu people go and do your own research...

The Boer Republics were already established by the time of Dinuzulus reign and even occured before the Anglo-Zulu War so did he help them establish the republics during that time period? Or ony to consolidate them? Because the 1st Boer War already occured in 1880-1881.

Shaka Zulu and Nandi Zulu are my dad's ancestors that was like 20 generations ago back in the the war era of the family there have been many African wars Queen nzinga's reign began it all and it ended with the reign of sojourner Truth one of my other ancestors the four people in my family who are in between them that experienced war were Nandi Zulu Shaka Zulu King Victor and queen Maryline it was from 1443 to 1643 some of my family's kingdoms have gotten ruined a little but the family stood proud and launched invasions on their countries

You did not include Zwangedaba king who went northward to TANZANIA at place called songea

Do Xhosa royal family tree

As South African, im impressed. Well done. Please can you kindly do the the Xhosa chart, this is Nelson Mandela's clan🇿🇦🇿🇦

This video exist I’m shook 😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️

Shaka, when the walls fell

On the family tree the picture of King Cetshwayo is actually his full brother Prince Ndabuko.

It's actually 1843 the year the war ended

But Senzangakhona was not a Swazi chief.

I'm waiting for Charles Vane.

Please do the Xhosa kingdom next..

kazi wazini ngathi lo

Why does the royals not tell family's if they are closely related??

Now we have uMisuZulu kaZwelithini kaBhekuZulu, bayeeede Wena WeNdlovu wenaWeZulu!!

I would like to see the tree of the AmaXhosa Kingdom.

Why is this story told by a non Zulu person? Come one my people, please tell your own stories!

Do the Ashanti Kingdom family tree next! Love from Ghana. ❤️🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭❤️

The Zulu kingdom did not emerge only through Shaka. Start with Mnguni wherein you will realise that all the tribes from amanguni and shangaans are part of the Zulus
