Isandlwana Lecture - The Musical, is a story about the Battle of iSandlwana
and the conquest of the Zulu nation over the English at the Anglo-Zulu War of
1879. It chronicles a twenty thousand strong spear-carrying and barefooted
Zulu Regiment disgracing and defeating Sir Henry Chamsford’s gun-carrying
English Regiment.
The Zulus won the battle but lost the war. It is these remnants of loss from
iSandlwana that are retold in order for the young learn the truth of what
truly transpired spiritually and sociocultural for uZulu at the Battle of
iSandlwana.
The underlying themes carried through in this production and the story of
iSandlwana are those of a relentless pursuit for power and conquest of Zulu
kings including a history of bloodbaths on their trail to the ascension to the
throne, equaled with that of colonisation of the English, their cruelty,
culture erosion and dispossession of peoples of the world by the English.
