Today most of the Zulu population lives in a 10,000 square mile Zululand _re_s_e_rv_e_ along the Indian Ocean. Once s_e_l_f-_s_u_ff_i_c_ie_n_t , many must now rely on employment outside of their reserve in nearby towns to survive. Members of the more than 300 Zulu-speaking peoples _re_s_id_e_ in KwaZulu (“Place of Heaven”), an area approximately the size of New Jersey. Their economy is based on the cultivation of crops, tended by the women, and the raising of cattle, for which the men and boys are responsible. The weaving of traditional African Zulu Baskets is also a small industry. Most Zulus still live in their traditional Kraals, an area _fe_n_c_e_d_ in by thickets of spiny shrubs that contain their traditional huts and gardens. Often a h_o_m__e_s_te_a_d_ will have an extended family living in close proximity to each other, often far removed from other clans.

Warm-up Questions
1. What kind of king was Shaka? He was most probably a cruel king.
Around the turn of the 20th century, traded tin and iron replaced the baskets and by the 1940s the skill of weaving was all but lost. Starting with a Missionary, Rev. Tjell Lofroth of the Lutheran Church, who wanted to convert the Zulus in the late 60s, a workshop (called Vukani) was created and three very old Zulu women were found that still remembered how to _d_y_e the materials and weave the baskets. From this the baskets refined through the 70s, 80s and 90s until we have the pinnacle of quality and refinement today. Regrettably, the techniques and skills may soon again be lost due to m__ig_r_a_t_io_n_ to the cities and AIDS.

3. The Zululand
Zululand is at present a region in northeastern Natal, Republic of South Africa, on the Indian Ocean; formerly it was a Zulu kingdom with an area of 10,427 square miles or 27,006 square kilometers.
1. Shaka Zulu
Shaka Zulu (1787-1828) was the Zulu military leader who in the early years of the 19th century built up by conquest the powerful Zulu Empire in South Africa. He seized the throne in 1816 and ruled with an iron hand.
Descendants of the Nguni peoples of southeast Africa, the Zulu trace their history back to the 14th and 15th centuries when they _m_i_g_r_at_e_d_ southward and settled into modern-day South Africa. During the 1800s, under Chief Shaka, the Zulus _es_t_a_b_li_s_h_ed_ themselves as a very powerful people and were feared throughout southern Africa. During this time it was the men who wove Zulu baskets; however, as the British took the men to work in the mines, women found it necessary to learn to weave the traditional African Zulu Baskets. Zulu baskets served as functional utilitarian containers and were typically devoid of any designs or patterns.

They were essentially plain; however, the beer basket covers called Imbenge were often highly decorated and colorful. Today many _p_a_tt_e_rn_s_, both based on traditional Zulu _b_e_ad_w__o_r_k designs as well as contemporary motifs based on other South African tribes or original ideas have appeared. The development (and continued elaboration) of natural pigments and dyes as well as the weavers’ struggles to _d_if_f_er_e_n_t_ia_t_e their unique styles has led to many and varied designs not previously known.
2. Why could Shaka become the king of the Zulus?
He had a genius for war and politics and he had built up his army and his power in a very short time.
