The Zulu people or AmaZulu are a Nguni ethnic group in Southern Africa. The Zulu people are the
largest ethnic group and nation in South Africa, with an estimated 10-12 million people, living
mainly in the province of KwaZulu-Natal.
They originated from Nguni communities who took part in the Bantu migrations over millennia. As
the clans integrated together, the rulership of Shaka brought success to the Zulu nation due to
his improved military tactics and organization.
Zulus take pride in their ceremonies such as the Umhlanga, or Reed Dance, and their various
forms of beadwork.
The art and skill of beadwork takes part in the identification of Zulu people and acts as a
form of communication. The men and women both serve different purposes in society in order to
function as a whole. Today the Zulu people predominantly believe in Christianity, but have
created a syncretic religion that is combined with the Zulu's prior belief systems.
The Zulu were originally a major clan in what is today Northern KwaZulu-Natal, founded ca. 1709 by Zulu kaMalandela. In the Nguni languages, iZulu means heaven, or weather. At that time, the area was occupied by many large Nguni communities and clans (also called the isizwe people or nation, or were called isibongo, referring to their clan or family name). Nguni communities had migrated down Africa's east coast over millennia, as part of the Bantu migrations. As the nation began to develop, the rulership of Shaka brought the clans together to build a cohesive identity for the Zulu.
The Zulu nation's growth and strength was based on its military organization and skills during Shaka's reign and that of his successors. The military was organized around the ukubuthwa ('to be enrolled') system, which did away with initiation ceremonies for the most part. Each age-set, or group of young men of the same age, was assigned to the same regiment - ibutho singular, amabutho plural - according to the system. Girls were also subject to Ukubuthwa, but they were usually assigned to an age group rather than a regiment. The amabutho were housed in military barracks - ikhanda singular, amakhanda plural - located throughout the kingdom and under the command of a close relative or someone appointed by the king. The barracks were designed and laid out similarly to an umuzi, but on a much larger scale. Aside from military duties, the izinsizwa 'young men' were also responsible for the repair and maintenance of their barracks.
The Zulu formed a powerful state in 1816 under the leader Shaka. Shaka, as the Zulu commander of the Mthethwa Empire and successor to Dingiswayo, united what was once a confederation of tribes into an imposing empire under Zulu hegemony. Shaka built a militarised system known as Impi featuring conscription, a standing army, new weaponry, regimentation, and encirclement battle tactics. Zulu expansion was a major factor of the Mfecane ("Crushing") that depopulated large areas of southern Africa. It is during this period when Shaka deployed an army regiment for raiding tribes on the North. The regiment which was under Mzilikazi disobeyed Shaka and crafted a plan to continue raiding up-North forming another dialect of Zulu language referred to as Northern Ndebele (Now in Zimbabwe).
In mid-December 1878, envoys of the British crown delivered an ultimatum to 11 chiefs representing the then-current king of the Zulu empire, Cetshwayo. Under the British terms delivered to the Zulu, Cetshwayo would have been required to disband his army and accept British sovereignty. Cetshwayo refused, and war between the Zulus and African contingents of the British crown began on January 12, 1879. Despite an early victory for the Zulus at the Battle of Isandlwana on the 22nd of January, the British fought back and won the Battle at Rorke's Drift, and decisively defeated the Zulu army by July at the Battle of Ulundi.
After Cetshwayo's capture a month following his defeat, the British divided the Zulu Empire into 13 "kinglets". The sub-kingdoms fought amongst each other until 1883 when Cetshwayo was reinstated as king over Zululand. This still did not stop the fighting and the Zulu monarch was forced to flee his realm by Zibhebhu, one of the 13 kinglets, supported by Boer mercenaries. Cetshwayo died in February 1884, killed by Zibhebhu's regime, leaving his son, the 15-year-old Dinuzulu, to inherit the throne. In-fighting between the Zulu continued for years, until in 1897 Zululand was absorbed fully into the British colony of Natal.
Under apartheid, the homeland of KwaZulu (Kwa meaning place of) was created for Zulu people. In 1970, the Bantu Homeland Citizenship Act provided that all Zulus would become citizens of KwaZulu, losing their South African citizenship. KwaZulu consisted of many disconnected pieces of land, in what is now KwaZulu-Natal. Hundreds of thousands of Zulu people living on privately owned "black spots" outside of KwaZulu were dispossessed and forcibly moved to bantustans - worse land previously reserved for whites contiguous to existing areas of KwaZulu. By 1993, approximately 5.2 million Zulu people lived in KwaZulu, and approximately 2 million lived in the rest of South Africa. The Chief Minister of KwaZulu, from its creation in 1970 (as Zululand) was Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi. In 1994, KwaZulu was joined with the province of Natal, to form modern KwaZulu-Natal.
Inkatha YeSizwe means "the crown of the nation". In 1975, Buthelezi revived the Inkatha YaKwaZulu, predecessor of the Inkatha Freedom Party. This organization was nominally a protest movement against apartheid, but held more conservative views than the ANC. For example, Inkatha was opposed to the armed struggle, and to sanctions against South Africa. Inkatha was initially on good terms with the ANC, but the two organizations came into increasing conflict beginning in 1976 in the aftermath of the Soweto Uprising.
The language of the Zulu people is "isiZulu", a Bantu language; more specifically, part of the Nguni subgroup. Zulu is the most widely spoken language in South Africa, where it is an official language. More than half of the South African population are able to understand it, with over 9 million first-language and over 15 million second-language speakers. Many Zulu people also speak Xitsonga, Sesotho and others from among South Africa's 11 official languages.
The Zulu people celebrate an annual event that was established in 1984 called the Umhlanga or Reed Dance. This event takes place at the royal capital near Nongoma. This traditional ceremony is performed by young women from all parts of the kingdom to perform in front of the monarch and his guests. The purpose of this event is to promote pride in virginity and to restrain sexual relationships. Beadwork is a prominent attire that is worn at the Umhlanga. The beadwork is not only worn by the dancers, but by the guests as well. The Umhlanga is not purely for a time of dance. The King also uses this time to speak to the young men and women of the nation. The King discusses current political issues.
The creation of beadwork dates back to the times of war for the Zulu people. This particular form of beadwork were known as iziqu, medallions of war. Often worn as a necklace, the beads were displayed in a criss-cross formation across the shoulders. This assemblage of beads by the warriors represented a symbol of bravery. Before the use of glass was apparent to the Zulu, beadwork derived from wood, seeds and berries. It was not until the arrival of Europeans that glass became a trade material with the Portuguese, which soon became abundantly available to the Zulu.
Beadwork is a form of communication for the Zulu people. Typically when one is wearing multiple beads, it is a sign of wealth. The more beads one is wearing, the wealthier they are perceived. The beads have the potential to convey information about a person's age, gender and marital status. The design of the beads often conveys a particular message. However, one must know the context of their use in order to read the message correctly. Depending on the area in which the beadwork was made, some designs can depict different messages compared to other areas. A message could be embedded into the colors and structure of the beads or could be strictly for decorative purposes. Beadwork can be worn in everyday use, but is often worn during important occasions such as weddings, or ceremonies. For example, beadwork is featured during the coming of age for a young girl or worn during dances. The beaded elements complement the costumes worn by the Zulu people to bring out a sense of finery or prestige.
Beadwork is worn by all men, women, and children at any age. Depending on which stage of life an individual is in, the beadwork indicates different meanings. Beadwork is dominantly worn when young Zulu people are courting or in search for love affairs. The wearing of decorative beadwork can act as an attempt to grab the attention of someone of the opposite sex. Also, the gifting of beadwork is a way of communicating interest with lovers. During the transition from single to married women, beadwork is shown through a beaded cloth apron worn over a pleated leather skirt. As for older or mature women, beadwork is displayed in detailed headdresses and cowhide skirts that extend past the knee. These long skirts are also seen on unmarried women and young marriageable-age girls. Men are more conservative when wearing beadwork. However, when a young boy is seen wearing multiple necklaces, it is a sign that he is highly interested by these gifts from various girls. The more gifts he is wearing, the higher prestige he obtains.
Various forms of beadwork are found in different color schemes. Typically, there are four different types of color schemes:
Zulus wear a variety of attire, both traditional for ceremonial or culturally celebratory
occasions, and modern westernized clothing for everyday use. The women dress differently
depending on whether they are single, engaged, or married. The men wore a leather belt with two
strips of hide hanging down front and back.
In South Africa, the miniskirt has existed since pre-colonial times. In the African cultures,
such as the Basotho, the Batswana, the Bapedi, the Amaswati and the AmaZulu, women wore
traditional miniskirts as cultural attire. These skirts are not seen as shameless but used
to cover the women's genitals. The skirts are called isigcebhezana and are essential in Zulu
ceremonies. For example, Umemulo is a ceremony for women who turn 21 years of age. It
represents a huge transition in the woman's life because it is a symbol of her being ready to
accept a boyfriend and even get married. Additionally, each stage of a Zulu's life is
determined by a specific type of clothing. For an unmarried woman, she wears the skirt and
nothing on the top, but as she grows up, the woman starts to cover up her body because a time
will come in which she will be a married woman and an old woman. Nonetheless, a special type of
clothing is reserved to pregnant women. When a woman is pregnant she wears an ‘isibamba', a
thick belt made from dried grass, covered with glass or plastic beadwork, to support her
swelling stomach and its additional weight.
The Zulu people govern under a patriarchal society. Men are the head of the household and seen as authoritative figures. Zulu men identify themselves with great pride and dignity. They also compare themselves to qualities of powerful wild animals such as bulls, lions and elephants. The men contribute to society by acting as defenders, hunters, and lovers. The Zulu men are also in charge of herding the cattle, educating themselves on the lives of disciplined warriors, creating weapons, and learning the art of stick fighting.
The art of stick fighting is a celebration of manhood for Zulu men. These men can begin to learn this fighting art form as young as the age of five years old. There are multiple reasons why men learn how to stick fight. For example, men may want to learn so that they can set right any wrongs or insults made towards them. Other reasons some men choose to learn are for sporting purposes, proving skills or manliness, and self-defense. The goal of stick fighting is to injure the opponent and sometimes even kill. There are rules of etiquette that must be abided by when stick fighting. The men can only fight a man the same age as them. One cannot hit the opponent when they lose their stick. Only sticks are allowed when fighting.
The women in Zulu society often perform domestic chores such as cleaning, raising children, collecting water and firewood, laundry, tending to crops, cooking, and making clothes. Women can be considered as the sole income-earner of the household. A woman's stages of life lead up to the goal of marriage. As a woman approaches puberty, she is known as a tshitshi. A tshitshi reveals her singleness by wearing less clothing. Single women typically do not wear clothing to cover their head, breasts, legs and shoulders. Engaged women wear hairnets to show their marital status to society and married women cover themselves in clothing and headdresses. Also, women are taught to defer to men and treat them with great respect. The women are always bound by a male figure.
Most Zulu people state their beliefs to be Christian. Some of the most common churches to which
they belong are African Initiated Churches, especially the Zion Christian Church, Nazareth
Baptist Church and United African Apostolic Church, although membership of major European
Churches, such as the Dutch Reformed, Anglican and Catholic Churches are also common.
Nevertheless, many Zulus retain their traditional pre-Christian belief system of ancestor
worship in parallel with their Christianity.
Traditional Zulu religion includes belief in a creator God (uNkulunkulu) who is above
interacting in day-to-day human life, although this belief appears to have originated from
efforts by early Christian missionaries to frame the idea of the Christian God in Zulu
terms. Traditionally, the more strongly held Zulu belief was in ancestor spirits (amaThongo
or amaDlozi), who had the power to intervene in people's lives, for good or ill. This
belief continues to be widespread among the modern Zulu population.
Traditionally, the Zulu recognize several elements to be present in a human being: the physical
body (inyama yomzimba or umzimba); the breath or life force (umoya womphefumulo or umoya); and
the "shadow," prestige, or personality (isithunzi). Once the umoya leaves the body, the
isithunzi may live on as an ancestral spirit (idlozi) only if certain conditions were met in
life. Behaving with ubuntu, or showing respect and generosity towards others, enhances
one's moral standing or prestige in the community, one's isithunzi. By contrast, acting in
a negative way towards others can reduce the isithunzi, and it is possible for the isithunzi to
fade away completely.
In order to appeal to the spirit world, a diviner (sangoma) must invoke the ancestors through
divination processes to determine the problem. Then, a herbalist (inyanga) prepares a mixture
(muthi) to be consumed in order to influence the ancestors. As such, diviners and herbalists
play an important part in the daily lives of the Zulu people. However, a distinction is made
between white muthi (umuthi omhlope), which has positive effects, such as healing or the
prevention or reversal of misfortune, and black muthi (umuthi omnyama), which can bring illness
or death to others, or ill-gotten wealth to the user. Users of black muthi are considered
witches, and shunned by the society.
Christianity had difficulty gaining a foothold among the Zulu people, and when it did it was in
a syncretic fashion. Isaiah Shembe, considered the Zulu Messiah, presented a form of
Christianity (the Nazareth Baptist Church) which incorporated traditional customs.
Furthermore, Zulu people also practice a ceremony called Ukweshwama. The killing of the bull is
part of Ukweshwama, an annual ceremony that celebrates a new harvest. It is a day of prayer
when Zulus thank their creator and their ancestors. By tradition, a new regiment of young
warriors is asked to confront a bull to prove its courage, inheriting the beast's strength as
it expires. It is believed this power then transfers to the Zulu king
Zulu people have a system called ilobolo. This term is particularly used by Zulu people when it
comes to bride wealth. Every African ethnic group has different requirements when it comes to
bride wealth. In pre-capitalist Zulu society, ilobolo was inextricably linked to the ownership
of cattle. During that time, there was not a fixed number of cattle required for the
wedding to happen; it could be paid before the marriage or during the marriage. The groom takes
the cattle from his father's herd in order to perpetuate the family heritage. Nonetheless, this
ritual has changed during colonization because in 1869, Theophilus Shepstone, then Natal
Secretary for Native Affairs, formalized the ilobolo payment to 10 cattle for commoners (plus
the ingquthu cow for the mother), 15 for hereditary chief siblings and 20-plus for the
daughters of a chief.
They found it too lenient to let the groom give whatever amount he
wants, so they decided to establish a specific number of cattle that would be needed before or
at the start of the marriage. This has been accepted by Zulu men who were educated in mission
schools, but according to more ritual people this became “untraditional”. Additionally, with
the instauration of the Natal Code, some Zulu men decided to settle another way in which they
could decrease the ilobo: offer a token payment or bring a present for the father of the
prospective bride in order to decrease the ilobolo amount to be paid. The payment of
ilobolo can be difficult for some families, but as it is often considered a symbol of pride and
respect, many are willing to maintain this tradition as long as possible.
The Zulu calendar is the traditional lunar calendar used by the Zulu people of South Africa. Its new year begins at the new moon of July in the Gregorian calendar. The Zulu calendar is divided into two seasons, the rainy season uNyaka and the dry season ubuSika. The lunar seasonal calendar has 13 months that do not correspond to the months of the Gregorian calendar. Twelve of the lunar months (inyanga) of the Zulu calendar have around 28 days. Zulu names for the lunar months are based on observations of nature and seasonal activities. A 13th intercalary month (iNdida) lasts four to five days. According to Keith Snedegar, consensus was used to settle arguments over the correct month, which arose around every three years when the 12 lunar months failed to correspond to their natural markers. The extra month was sometimes referred to as Ndid'amDoda (the month that puzzles people). Scottish Free Kirk missionary James Macdonald wrote that the confusion was settled with heliacal rising of Pleiades, which is associated with the month of uNhlangulana.

Umkhosi Wokweshwama [um̩kʰoːsi woɠʷeʃʷaːma] ("first fruits festival"), recently also known as
Umkhosi Woselwa [um̩kʰoːsi woseːlʷa] ("calabash festival"), is the annual harvest festival of
the Zulu people, observed around the December solstice. It takes place at the Enyokeni Royal
Palace in Nongoma, KwaZulu-Natal, and is presided over by the Zulu King, who conducts a tasting
ceremony as sacred king, closed by the dashing of a calabash to signify that the people may now
enjoy the fruits of the harvest; this role was historically expanded by Shaka to have more
military significance with a muster and parade.
It was revived by the current king's father, the late King Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu in
1990, after a ban by British
colonial authorities following the 1879 Battle of Isandlwana and Zulu defeat in the Anglo-Zulu
War (the last was held in winter 1877–78, though some claim continuity as a less elaborate
event).
The festival has mass participation by young men, as Umkhosi woMhlanga has by young women.
There is a black bull sacrifice in the king's kraal as the young men work together to kill the
animal without weapons, which was the subject of a failed lawsuit by South African animal
rights activists in 2009. The sacrifice of the bull is seen as transferring the
bull's power to the king. The iNkatha was also renewed. The Scottish mythographer James
George Frazer speculated that this reflected an ancient practice of sacrificing the king
himself.
The Kingdom of Swaziland's counterpart event is Incwala, part of a larger family of Nguni First
Fruit traditions. Aspects of the festival have been adapted by the Zulu-initiated Nazareth
Baptist Church in its celebration of Christmas. The Zulu festival was a partial inspiration
for the modern African-American holiday of Kwanzaa.
