Shaka Zulu
(1986)

Notes, footnotes or references:

Shaka Zulu is a gory, foolish and demeaning 10‑hour miniseries. The script is awful at worst, comical at best.


And Shaka Zulu is identified as "the greatest project yet undertaken by the SABC" – and important for the nation's "image abroad" – in the public record of a 1984 South African parliamentary debate held in advance of shooting.
