WHO WAS...?

KING CHAKA.

King Chaka, who flourished at the beginning of last century, has been described as the Nero of Africa; but as a matter of fact, Nero was no match in cruelty, for this savage old

monarch.

Nevertheless, King Chaka was distinctly a great man, for he trained his tribe in the

such ferocious efliciently that in a short time it sprang from ..nonentity to becotie the mighty Zulu nation, the dominant

native power in the South contintent.

Chaka sacrificed everything for military efficiency. Each warrior was armed within short assegai, to lose which meant death. When the man was too old to fight, he was prompty killed; while the return of an army after sustaining defeat: would result in its being massacred to the laat man.

When Chaka's mother died. the savage king ordered every- body in his kraal to wall con- tinuously for days on end, any Cessation, it even for a moment, resulting in the defaulter being prompty butchered.
