The journal of the Society for Arts is a review on a play based on The Zulu War. (Secondary Source). The memorandum about the history the Zulu race was written by Sir Theophilus Shepstone in 1875 as well as Mr F.B Fynney who contributed 3 years after. The character of the Zulu Chief, Cetywayo's weakness as a ruler was based on his cruelty and terror as he was unaware of the invincible powers of England which led to their downfall. The journal also mentions how Shaka Zulu defeated the British when he was still in power and how the natives tried to make use of his techniques after his death.

The first interaction the British had with Zulus dates from the year 1821/1822. The white settlers were depopulated by Chaka Zulu, the King of Zulus, who was later assassinated by his brother Dingaan in 1828. The document also mentions how Ketshawyo came to power and how the Zululand become colonised. It is stated that the British saw South Africa as a rich country in agricultural, pastoral and mineral resources, which benefited Great Britain's economy through trade. The document goes as far as showing the large quantities exported as well as their market value. Sir Bartle Frere's Policy was then introduced leading to the colonisation of the Zululand in 1849-1850.
-
Sir Bartle Frere's Policy aimed to break down and abolish the power of the chiefs as well as make the natives understand that the government is the only power in the country. After the policy came into place Natal and the Zulu tribe under Ketshawyo's rule were proclaimed a British Colony in the year 1848, however it was not fairly colonised until 1849- 1850. Events which took place during 1877 led to a war-cloud over the Zululand under Ketshawyo's rule.

The document was written by people from Western Civilisation hence "Shaka" is spelt as "Chaka"

The document written by Mason Holditch is aboout the causes of the Zulu War as well as the lessons learnt from the war. The document states that Chief Ketchwayo's influence and reign of terror was the main source of mischief , because after he was captured the war came to an end as well as the people coming to a change. The Zululand was the divided after this as a result of the fear of the old system disguise and open rebellion occurring again.
