...Zululand Territorial Authority, as yet nothing more than a tribal council, is scheduled to be upgraded to a legislative council and to be chosen by general election some time in 1972. It will then have constitutional power over local matters of justice, finance, education and agriculture, though Pretoria will still retain control of defense, foreign affairs and police. Said Botha to Prince Zwelithini last week: "It can be expected that your reign will see a constitutional evolution of your Zulu nation to a fully fledged self-governing and independent nation...
...familiarity has not always bred respect, at least it has helped to reduce racial fears. On a national level, the country's black politicians have been concentrating on achieving black power in the Bantustans, a goal acceptable to the Afrikaners. Chief Gatsha Buthelezi, 42, chief minister of Zululand, last month told white students at Stellenbosch University that "if the majority of whites have now decided to set up blacks in separate states, we have no means to resist it, even if we wanted to."

...captured, Cetshwayo was sent to London, possibly for display purposes; but his great dignity, proof against the Western clothing furnished by his captors, won him popular sympathy, and he was restored to his throne. But it was not the same throne he had lost. 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...
