Source 1A: The following source focuses on the rise of the Zulu Kingdom under Shaka.
In 1819 the Zulus attacked the Ndwandwe, destroyed Zwide's capital and broke up his
kingdom. It is now believed that internal divisions also helped to break up the Ndwandwe
kingdom. There was disagreement among the Ndwandwe about whether it was better to
fight the Zulu or they should focus instead on trading with the north. Some members of
the Zwide's ruling group disagreed with his warlike ideas and moved away to the Delagoa
Bay... Shaka used the amabutho to expand his power and control by sending them
on raids into neighbouring chiefdoms. Older versions of history used to claim that these
raids were violent and bloodthirsty, and that Shaka controlled over 50 000 armed men who
killed almost a million people. However, historians now believe that is not accurate, and
that it was not simply force and warfare that led to the rise of the Zulu state under Shaka.
They think that peaceful diplomacy played an equally important role in persuading other
chiefdoms to join the Zulu state. Although Shaka tried to break up or drive away
chiefdoms that he thought could threaten his own power, he allowed others to remain as
they were, provided they did not threaten him; He offered them protection in return.
