...valleys of KwaZulu, the designated "homeland" that forms a patchwork quilt of territory from the Mozambique border in the north to southern Natal and the Transkei in the south. There they live much in the tribal style of old, in beehive-shaped mud and thatch huts, sharing the kraal with their cattle. The other half work in the "white man's" South Africa, living in bedroom ghettos like Soweto. They are frequently favored for positions of trust in public service and industry...

In most respects, however, the crowning of 23-year-old Prince Zwelithini Goodwill Ka-cyprian Bhekuzulu in the Royal Kraal at Nongoma last week was faithful to the folkways of the days when the Zulus were the largest tribe and mightiest warriors in all of Black Africa...

The British had divided Zululand into 13 ineffectual kingdoms whose impis endlessly clashed for a power no longer there. In 1884, Cetshwayo died mysteriously in his kraal at 53, either of heart trouble or poison-no one bothered to determine which. By 1902, Zululand lay open to peaceful colonization. The new rulers were met by Zulu children, hawking spearheads and cartridge cases dug up from the fields where their fathers fell...
