The cultural tradition of Zulu nationality

Zulu's culture, history and tradition are valuable cultural heritages of South Africa and an important part of South Africa's culture, history and tradition. Like the Xhosa, the Zulu are descended from the Nguni. Around 800 AD, Nguni people migrated from the Great Lakes region in central Africa to southern Africa, and a man named Zulu (Zulu means paradise) began to establish his sphere of influence in KwaZulu (where paradise is located) in South Africa today.

The Zulu descendants (amaZulu, people in the sky) are divided into different tribes, and each tribe has its own leader. These chiefs are led by King Zulu, and the current King of Zulu is Zu Velitti. Zulu, sagar is the most famous Zulu king. His mastery of war and cruelty to the enemy earned him the nickname "Black Napoleon". His story was also made into the film Sakya, King of Zulu.

Zulu is the most widely used language in South Africa, and more than half of the South African population knows Zulu (according to Ethnologue 2005).
