Shaka Zebu is the King of Zamunda, who has fallen under a spell woven by Tse-Tse Snaketail using a corrupted Baobab tree.
Shaka kaSenzangakhona (c. 1787 – 22 September 1828), also known as Shaka Zulu, was the king of the Zulu Kingdom from 1816 to 1828. One of the most influential monarchs of the Zulu, he ordered wide-reaching reforms that re-organized the military into a formidable force.
The map illustrates the rise of the Zulu Empire under Shaka (1816–1828) in present-day South Africa. The rise of the Zulu Empire under Shaka forced other chiefdoms and clans to flee across a wide area of southern Africa.
