[QUOTE]Originally posted by Brada-Anansi: [QB] Having just re watched the movie Zulu Dawn I was wondering why they didn't move across the Buffalo river and sacked the cape,that a mistake in the command of this fellow below and the debilce at Rouke's drift may explain this,the history of South/southern Africa may have been vastly different had he followed orders and wasn't a such a hot head. [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/25/Dabulamanzi.jpg[/IMG] Perhaps the man who saved the Brits from being driven into the sea While the Undi Corps had been led by inkhosi kaMapitha at the Isandlwana battle, the command of the Undi Corps passed to Prince Dabulamanzi kaMpande (half-brother of Cetshwayo kaMpande, the Zulu king) when kaMapitha was wounded mopping up British fugitives from Isandlwana. Prince Dabulamanzi was considered rash and aggressive and this characterization was borne out by his violation of King Cetshwayo's order to act only in defence of Zululand against the invading British soldiers and not carry the war over the border into enemy territory.[25] The Rorke's Drift attack was an unplanned raid rather than any organized counter-invasion, with many of the Undi Corps Zulus breaking off to raid other African kraals and homesteads while the main body advanced on Rorke's Drift. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Rorke's_Drift http://tubeplus.me/player/652448/Zulu_Dawn/ ^^^^ Link to the movie easy to use streaming is very fast.
