A brilliant general and strategist, a great leader, Shaka (the beetle) is able to outwit the imperial delegation sent to confuse him with duplicity. "Francis," says Dr. Henry Fynn, "Shaka is eons ahead of you."
What I found interesting was the South African perspective with other nations with whom it shares the English language. The English are imperious like Victoria, desolate like George IV, arrogant like Lord Charles or flighty like LT Francis Farrell. Americans are described by the prod British merchant Zacharias Abrahams as "go ahead" ie overly eager.
The Irish represented by Dr Fynn get off easy. He is pleasantly amused at the British when in the middle of nowhere they raise the cross of St George and sing God Save the King. Fynn refuses to doff his hat for the occasion.
First time before the camera, Henry Cele a soccer goalie rendered a bravura performance embodying the character of the South African Hero Shaka. Regrettably he died young at age 61.
