Tshaka: Setting the record straight

Published on

TWENTY-TWO books have been written about Tshaka the Zulu King by the Tambous, but only three have African contributors. All these writers call him a despot. A despot is a person who misuses power tyrannically — meaning oppressive The first Tambous to arrive in and cruel. But, can Tshaka be compared to Adolf Hitler of Germany, Benito Mussolini of Italy, King Leopold II of Belgium and a host of others from Europe? The Portuguese sailors first reached the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, on March 12 1488 with the first settlers following in 1652. Zimbabwe were the Portuguese in 1511/12 and their leader was Antonio Fernandes. The Tambous say Great Zimbabwe was abandoned in the 15th Century. In my article ‘Great Zimbabwe Revisited’, I quoted the situation found there and how it was described. The situation was akin to a warfare. We know when a people abandon a settlement, they build another one, but this was not the case with the inhabitants of Great Zimbabwe. This simply means they made caves and mountains their habitation.

Tshaka was born in 1787, three hundred years after Great Zimbabwe was destroyed and he was the anointed one to remove Tambou vermin from this part of the motherland. The land now called South Africa was physically and spiritually administered from Great Zimbabwe. I liken the birth of Tshaka to stories in the Tambous- corrupted Bible; the stories of our ancestors the Tambous usurped. (Gideon Judges: 7/8 and that of Jeph’than:11/12). This is how Tshaka is described by the Tambous: “He had the heart of a tiger and his savagery was more devastating because he combined it with the military skill(s) of Caesar and Napoleon, the organising genius of Alexander the Great, the stern discipline of Lycurgus, the flexibility of Bismark and the destructive force of Attila.” Rider Haggard describes him thus: “He was one of the most remarkable men that ever filled a throne since the days of the Pharoahs.

The invincible armies of this African Attila had swept north, south, east and west and slaughtered more than a million human beings. (I take this with a pinch of salt.) Wherever his warriors went, the blood of men, women and children was poured without day and night. Indeed, he reigned like an invisible death, the presiding genius of a Saturnalia of slaughter. Some historians call him The Black Napoleon, but this is absurd as calling Napoleon the white Tshaka.

Tshaka began to rule the year Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo. Napoleon won his victories by cannon, Tshaka won his by hand to hand conflict. Physically Tshaka could have crushed the little corporal, as a python would a lamb. Napoleon was beaten several times, Tshaka suffered one minor defeat. Napoleon was defeated by a combination of enemies but Tshaka annihilated his enemies that none was left to attack him. In strength and daring he had no equal. He was also the best and most graceful dancer.

Excelling in all primitive men admired, he became the idol of his people.” Note the description ‘primitive’; this happens when your story is being told by your enemies. This is how the youths in Tshaka’s army were described by one N. Isaacs, an English traveller: “Their figures are the noblest that my eye has ever gazed upon. Their movements the most graceful; their attitude the proudest — standing like monumental bronze.” James Stuart, Assistant Secretary of Native Affairs in South Africa, says of Tshaka: “In his own unenviable career of unbridled ferocity, celerity and cunning, he stands alone and unrivalled, whilst amongst barbarians (note barbarian) strategy tactics and executive capacity he is again probably without a peer. He, in short, seems to have turned a page, albeit a dark one, that no mortal white, yellow, brown and black has ever before managed quite to turn. In that sense he is, I should say, at the head of all despots (note again despot). He shows what an able man in power can accomplish, once his passions and ambitions have free play and opportunity serves. So long a soldier and conqueror are worshipped, Tshaka deserves a certain kind of recognition.” The Ancient Greeks and Romans would have worshipped Tshaka and they would have given him a higher position than all their gods. The above descriptions of Tshaka show that the white savages were afraid of him. The Tambous call Tshaka a despot and it is very interesting because their corrupted Bible allows white Israeli Jews to kill without mercy. A case in point is the story of Joshua while many more stories are found in their corrupted Bible. Where ever the Tambous went, they spilled more blood than any race since creation. The First and Second World Wars were sparked by the Tambous while the terrorism rocking the world today is fuelled by them. These are the same white savages calling Tshaka a despot! Currently, Tambou Jews are killing Palestinians and as far they are concerned, their God is willing it.

The Israel issue was caused by Hitler and it could have been fair if part of Germany was given to the white Jews displaced by Hitler. But because the Tambous are more despotic than Tshaka, they displaced the Palestinians saying their God willed it. To know more about the God of the Tambous, one has to read the Book of Enoch which is the most hated book on this planet by the Tambous, followed by those written by Cheikh Anta Diop and G. M. James, to name just but a few. Tshaka’s mission was a holy one initiated at the Great Zimbabwe but he got distracted when he befriended Tambous who told him about King George lll of England whom they said was as great as he was. They distracted Tshaka from attacking them by their stories. Tshaka’s mistake, like all Nahasis past and present, was not to ask the positive spiritual world about how he had to deal a death blow to the Tambous who had invaded their physical and spiritual spaces alienating them from the way of the Creator. That Tshaka knew about the way of the Creator is shown by his loathing of promiscuity; forbidding of divorces and throwing of adulterers headlong over the cliff into the Umvelosi River to be devoured by crocodiles. Also he knew about how circumcision could weaken his warriors (Genesis 34:1-34).

The Tambous had been in contact with our race since 323 BC when Greece conquered Egypt. When you add this to 1880, this comes to 2 123 years! And because Tshaka had forgotten and disconnected from his positive spiritual mission, he had no chance with the Tambous who had destroyed all holy places, prophets and prophetesses on the motherland to the north, leaving only the spirit of Mbuya Nehanda in the south. They knew of her spirit and came down south to conquer it, but the reverse happened as witnessed during Zimbabwe’s war of liberation. Now the Africans initiated and uninitiated in Tambous’ spiritual systems are ganging up against the spirit of Mbuya Nehanda, but they won’t win. I was amused but not surprised when an eminent scholar said he had nothing to do with Mbuya Nehanda but Jesus Christ and when I asked that scholar what Christ means he gave me the obvious answer! When I directed him to ancient books, he said he only believes in the Bible. I finally asked him what the Bible stands for, again he gave me the obvious answer.

My parting question was asking him who controls the curriculum of these universities all over the world. Modern educated or miseducated true we are but we are physically and spiritually controlled, which is a sin. That is why there is a lot of poverty in a continent of plenty because the Christians say Yeshua (Jesus) willed it in John 12:8: “For you will always have the poor with you but you will not have me.” Yet the Christians say Jesus is omnipresent. Tshaka was assassinated by his brothers Dingaan and Mhlagana and his last words were: “You will not get rid of the Tambous . . . ,” because he knew that only the anointed ones could.

Who is spiritually controlling South Africa and most African countries today and how do they view Tshaka spiritually? The motherland is still waiting for that anointed one to rid us of Tambou influences. Yes, Tshaka was born to be the judge who was supposed to have rid us of Tambou vermin but he failed despite being blessed immensely by the positive spiritual world. He will not be the first nor the last one!
