      Africa over the years had been underestimated. it is evident that Africa did have skills and governing methods. King Shaka had developed a political institution as well as developed their military base with defense mechanisms and strategies that ahve helped the Zulu kingdom to conquere other tribes . The Zulu people may have not won during the Anglo-Zulu war but they did have good defense strategies and did denfend their homelands, they did not simply go into the battle field without any information of defense. King Shaka may have been a horrible leader but there are so many things that he had taught the people that were beneficial to them after his death and during wars and tribal conflicts.

Zululand was invaded, and, despite Isandlwana, the impis were shot down against the express wishes of the government in London because Frere feared something much worse: a Zulu invasion coinciding with a Boer rising and a Russian naval attack which would result in burning ports, razed farms, the route to India severed, and the destruction of British prestige. As a committed imperialist, Frere would never let this happen on his watch, whatever orders to the contrary the politicians gave. He paid with humiliation and disgrace at the end of an otherwise glittering career. Ironically, the victory at Isandlwana ultimately made things worse for the Zulus because it brought such a storm of political irritation down on Frere that he was unable to carry through his plans for a workable postwar settlement for Zululand. Removed from control of the war, he was unable to prevent the Zulu kingdom from being broken up into thirteen separate entities, which then promptly dissolved into the miseries of a civil war which would tear apart Zululand and leave most of its lands in the hands of Boer freebooters.97 It would take until 1887 for it to be formally annexed to the British Empire.
