Shaka kaSenzangakhona is universally recognised as the founder of what would become known as the “Zulu nation”. He ruled from about 1817 until he was assassinated by his half-brothers in 1828.

Shaka Zulu was the King of the Zulu Nation between 1816 to 1828. Babalola will play Shaka as he unites tribes across the land while facing fierce battles, testing alliances and trying to survive.
