Mbongeni Ngema’s The Zulu is a powerful theatrical production that chronicles the rich and complex history of the Zulu nation—from its early formation to the historic Battle of Isandlwana. Rooted in cultural heritage and historical events, the play captures the identity, strength, and enduring resistance of the Zulu people. Originally performed as a solo piece, The Zulu has now been reimagined as a two-hander, performed by acclaimed actors Abdul Khoza and Nhlakanipho Manqele.
