PAGE 2 OF 6 - HISTORY OF BLACK VIOLENCE
IntroFirst and foremost I need to say, I do know some black people that wants to see true democracy work in South-Africa. The unfortunate Reality is the fact that Black people with such a positive outlook is in the absolute Minority considering the number of votes the Racist ANC / EFF received in the General Elections 20 Years after Democracy. It is a pity that People Like Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe, Julius malema, Jacob Zuma ( SA President ) and their Supporters enforces Racism and Racial Conflict by implementing and maintaining Racist anti-white Laws, Attacks on Boere-Afrikaner Statue's, illegal land grabs, and Public Hate speech, same Fueling Racial Conflict, racially motivated Killings of white Farmers and White People in general. It is because of these racist Leaders, the people who voted them into power, the cruel Heartless Killer and their comrades that it is, for the Afrikaner - Time to Defend.
It was quite laughable for me the first time the story started to do the rounds that black people are only so violent because of apartheid. It is because of this misunderstanding that I felt the facts regarding this issue needed to be brought forward as the ANC / EFF's favourite word when something needs to be blamed is Apartheid.
The early 19th century saw a time of immense upheaval relating to the military expansion of the Zulu Kingdom. Sotho-speakers know this period as the difaqane ("forced migration"); while Zulu-speakers call it the mfecane ("crushing").
The full causes of the difaqane remain in dispute, although certain factors stand out. The rise of a unified Zulu kingdom had particular significance. In the early 19th century, Nguni tribes in KwaZulu-Natal began to shift from a loosely organised collection of kingdoms into a centralised, militaristic state. Shaka Zulu, son of the chief of the small Zulu clan, became the driving force behind this shift. At first something of an outcast, Shaka proved himself in battle and gradually succeeded in consolidating power in his own hands. He built large armies, breaking from clan tradition by placing the armies under the control of his own officers rather than of the hereditary chiefs. Shaka then set out on a massive programme of expansion, killing or enslaving those who resisted in the territories he conquered. His impis (warrior regiments) were rigorously disciplined: failure in battle meant death.[citation needed]
Peoples in the path of Shaka's armies moved out of his way, becoming in their turn aggressors against their neighbours.[citation needed]This wave of displacement spread throughout Southern Africa and beyond. It also accelerated the formation of several states, notably those of the Sotho (present-day Lesotho) and of the Swazi (now Swaziland).
In 1828 Shaka was killed by his half-brothers Dingaan and Umhlangana. The weaker and less-skilled Dingaan became king, relaxing military discipline while continuing the despotism. Dingaan also attempted to establish relations with the British traders on the Natal coast, but events had started to unfold that would see the demise of Zulu independence.
