  • Shaka himself had had no children. He said that a son would kill him for the throne.
  • He forbade his men to marry or have sexual relations with women until he gave them permission to do so in middle age, and he quartered all his men in great barracks, as in any modern army.
  • Shaka became a conqueror because he was born into a system where changes in the ratio of population to land, and perhaps increased trade with Europeans through intermediary lands, were pro­ ducing a drive toward the emergence of an overlord of the region.

    The Zulu empire rose in the 19th century under the leadership of its founder shaka. This article highlights how he introduced new military tactics, including the use of short stabbing spears and large cowhide shields, and created a strict military discipline within his army. Even after Shaka's death, the Zulu empire continued to flourish under the rule of Cetshwayo kaMpande in 1879, but the Boers eventually defeated the Zulu army in the Ulundi battle resulting in a British invasion in 1879. Even though the empire was turned into a Natal colony but the Zulu culture continued to survive.

  • INDEX Early Missionaries THE KONGO In 1490 the first missionaries came to Sub-Saharan Africa at the request of King Nzinga of Kongo (also known as the Manikongo). They came with craftsmen who rebuilt the Manikongo's capital in stone at Mbanza Kongo (in the North of modern Angola), and baptised the King. King Nzinga's son Afonso (born Nzinga Mbemba) was sent to Portugal to study and amazed the catholic hierarchy with his intelligence and intense piety.

      This is an immportant aspect of understanding the period and timeline of when the missionaries arrived missionaries, since these were the first missionaries to arrive in sub-saharan Africa at a request on an African king. Moreover, it also emphasises the purpose of missionaries and how Christianity was influenced over the African people.

David Livingstone - Prophet or Patron Saint of Imperialism in Africa: Myths and Misconc... - 1 views

  • This 278 J.M. MacKenzie reveals the extent to which Livingstone’s fame seemed to be securely established without the help of the various alleged impresarios of legendary status.
  • Let us look at the paradox first and the overarching misconception about his life later. It is of course inevitable that all historical figures who are raised to such an almost transcendentally mythic status are going to be subjected to efforts to knock them off their metaphorical plinths. Livingstone has been no exception
  • Something of his extraordinary popularity can be gauged from the fact that in January 1857 a lecture on Livingstone by the Rev. William Garland Barrett (at which the explorer was not present) attracted an audience of 500 factory hands in Ashton-under-Lyne (Thorne 1999, p. 64). As Murchison put it in the following year, ‘the name of Livingstone was sufficient to attract an assembly larger than any room in London could hold’ (The Times, 15 February 1858, p. 3)

  • Indeed, it seems to be the case that when such a personality is endowed with a particularly powerful instrumentality, others are going to set about denying him individual agency all together
  • Thus, Livingstone was already celebrated when he arrived home in 1856 and that celebrity was more than confirmed by the publication of his Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa in 1857, for it is a truly remarkable book, excitingly written not least for its powerful descriptions of the African landscape, full of observations on the geology, meteorology, hydrology, philology, anthropology, and botany of Africa, sometimes amusing, often sentimental, strikingly free of racism, immensely valuable even without its inevitable overlay of natural theology and evangelical religious purpose. Not least it is impressive for its respect for indigenous knowledge, for the efforts of its author to learn from the peoples among whom he travelled.
  • Moreover, his contribution to medical science in Africa and his influence on the development of medical missions are also being recognised (Etherington 2005, pp. 275, 278; Harrison 2013). At any rate, Livingstone’s undoubted role in raising the profile of the Royal Geographical Society was eventually acknowledged by the fact that his statue is set into the wall of its premises (Lowther Lodge, opened in 1913) in Kensington Gore.
  • So far as the attack by Listowel is concerned, her contention that Livingstone was so jealous of his own reputation and fame that he consciously set about cutting others out of the geographical story is surely hard to sustain. Dealing only with the accusation concerning William Cotton Oswell, the fact is that Livingstone never ceased declaring his debt to him. There are at least 16 references to Oswell, all highly laudatory, in Missionary Travels and Researches. Livingstone maintained a regular correspondence with Oswell and frequently mentioned him in his letters to the London Missionary Society (LMS) and to his many other correspondents (Schapera 1959, 1961, passim)
    • nkosinathi3
       
      more proof that attempts to taint Livingstone's reputation were unsuccessful and further prove that his fame is really a result of his hard work and efforts.
  • Livingstone had the vision, the local language, the institutional base, and above all his own devastating literacy to maintain his voluminous report and letter writing. It is not in the least surprising, and indeed entirely appropriate, that Livingstone secured the credit.

Behind the Legal, Domestic Ivory Trade, a Black Market Flourishes | African Wildlife Fo... - 1 views

  •  
    Ivory has been desired since antiquity because its relative softness made it easy to carve into intricate decorative items for the very wealthy. For the past one hundred years, the ivory trade in Africa has been closely regulated, yet the trade continues to thrive. e need for human porters meant that the growing trade of ivory and enslaved people went hand-in-hand, particularly in East and Central Africa. In those regions, African and Arab traders of enslaved people traveled inland from the coast, purchased or hunted down large numbers of captives and ivory, and then forced the enslaved people to carry the ivory as they marched down to the coast. Once they reached the coast, the traders sold both the enslaved people and ivory for hefty profits.
