Rorke's Drift was a battle that Cetshwayo kaMpande did not want, because it took place on the western bank of the Mzinyathi or Buffalo River — inside Natal. The British had been routed at Isandlwana by the main Zulu army, regiments who's names are still venerated by oral historians today, the uKhandempemvu, uNokhenke, uDududu, iMbube, iSanqu, the uMbonambi, iNgobamakhosi. The men of the uThulwana, iNdlondlo, iNluyengwe, uDloko amabitho had headed northwest during the battle to cut off Chelmsford's escape route while the main army went to work evicerating Durnford's men. The commanders of the main army, Ntswingwayo kaMahole and Mavumengwana kaNdlela turned back to oNdini - realising that they had both good and bad news. The good news - Chelmsford's central column had been crushed at Isandlwana, the bad news - it had cost the Zulu main army dearly perhaps as many as 2000 warriors - along with number of his most venerated indunas and isinkhosi. But things were not over in this corner of the British empire, because the reserve amabutho were itching to wash their spears. They had chased Isandlwana fugitives to the Mzinyathi, spearing them and shooting them down, and now the uTHulwana, iNdlondlo, iNdluyengwe and uDloko were going to ignore Cetshwayo's orders and cross the river into Natal. The Zulu king had spelled out his orders and stipulated in no uncertain terms that his men were to stay on the Zululand side of the border. He believed that when it came to negotiate peace, the fact that his men had not crossed the border would be in the Zulu's favour. The Natal settlers and British bureaucrats had instigated this war out of fear of Zulu power. Cetshwayo understood that if he could demonstrate the Zulu Empire posed no real threat to British interests or colonial settlements, he might yet avoid total destruction. He grasped what many generals forget: war is fundamentally a political instrument. By confining all combat to Zulu territory—never crossing into British-held land—he could preserve the moral high ground. When the inevitable negotiations came, this restraint would be his strongest card, proof that the Zulus sought only to defend their sovereignty, not to conquer. It was this reserve force of between 3000 and 4000 men who were to throw a spanner in the works. They were on the move in three separate contingents, with the younger men from the iNdluyengwe in the lead, marching in open order in advance of the others. They pursued the fugitives across Sothondose's Drift, now renamed Fugitive's drift. The other two contingents began a few pre-battle moves, first dividing, then wheeling about, then reforming, an impressive display of commander control.Cetshwayo's aggressive half-brother Prince Dabulamanzi was in command of these reserve units. This was a break from decorum, because Dabulamanzi was not actually a general in Cetshwayo's army appointed by the king, but his royal status meant he dominated proceedings. The other offices of the reserve deferred decision-making to him, despite their disquiet which would grow to alarm later in our story today. Dabulamanzi was another of our interesting characters of South African history. He was notoriously unscrupulous, but quick of mind and flashing of eye, always taking great care in grooming his moustache and pointy beard. Settlers who knew him called him sophisticated, he dressed in fine European clothes, loved a gin and tonic, and was an extremely good shot with a rifle. Had he not been Zulu, you would have called him an excellent example of a well-rounded English rogue of the Victorian era. Prince Dabulamanzi wanted to give the men a victory - they could hardly return home and become the laughing stock of the nation. Zibhebhu's incapacitation provided him with a perfect moment. Later it was spun that this smallish group of reserve amabutho were actually on their way to Pietermarizburg and it was only the plucky Rorke's Drift defenders who stood in their way.

Hello my sleepy friends! This second episode is a general historical survey of South Africa. I tried to briefly talk about all the the people who have lived there, including the Khoisan, who are the descendents of some of the earliest modern humans, the powerful Zulu Empire, and the 20th century struggle with apartheid and Nelson Mandela's inspirational story. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In a time of slavery a Black King rose and conquered eastern Africa and took 2500 men and turned them into an Empire of 250000 strong .

I love reading history books because they allow you to learn about different civilizations and cultures. Reading about the mighty ancient Aztecs or the formidable Zulu Empire can give you a glimpse in to how different people thought, acted, and believed. While it is interesting to learn about the many differences between the ancient Mayans, the German Nazi’s, and the modern Americans there is a common thread that binds all of humanity together – regardless of time, space, and culture. That common thread is our sinfulness.It is no secret that mankind has a sin problem. Watching the news is a sad, yet helpful exercise in observing the sinfulness of mankind.Many philosophical ideas and world religions try to resolve our sinful condition by either enforcing strict religious obedience, encouraging wild pursuits of pleasure, or promoting solemn quests for knowledge. The problem isn’t that we are broken and in need fixing. Nor is it a problem of enlightenment or lack thereof. The problem of mankind is that we are spiritually dead and in need of new life.In Ephesians 2:1, we see that Scripture exposes the reality of our spiritual condition – “you were dead in the trespasses and sins” (ESV). Our sinfulness causes us to live in a state of spiritual death; which ultimately earns us God’s wrath. Ephesians 2:3 affirms this by telling us that without divine intervention, we are “by nature children of wrath”.Fortunately, God doesn’t abandon us. In Ephesians 2:4-5, we see that God is abounding in mercy and pulls us up out of the grave – “by grace you have been saved”. And that “grace” came in the form of God Incarnate. An infant who became a man that lived a sinless life, died on a cross, and rose victoriously from the grave so that we could be raised to new spiritual life with Him.Read the full devotion at https://devotableapp.com/daily-devotion-confronting-our-sinfulness/
