Damn, I could win that prize.

[Jeremy]

A month today my Impi crush the white invader. Our spears will drink blood! Sigidla!

[grizzlymc]

I say, pot that chap.
Just uz, nobody else, just uz
Not offering to clean it myself you know
You will get me singing Men of Harlech next.

Our Sangoma, the powerful Burtelezi, has drunk the amasi and thrown the bones of his ancestors. He prophesises a great victory for the children of Africa!

Burtelizi is a son of the king of Essexisi, a powerful kingdom to the north of Zululand. Many, many days travel. Across many deserts and mountain ranges

And don't forget their tribal war cry - Essexuthu! (I think it means "Death by white stilettos".)

Great great grandfather thrice removed

[Jeremy]

Interesting point on the Great Chief, he acted in ‘Zulu’. He’s fairly well respected by many South Africans of all creeds and colours. Not many can claim that

[BaronVonWreckedoften]

Yes, played his own maternal grandfather I believe.
