Biography assessment rating comment[edit]

WikiProject Biography Summer 2007 Assessment Drive

Brief, but there may be little known about the subject, hence the article is a Start class.

The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Yamara 17:44, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from main page[edit]

guys we indicate 7000 zulus died, and also indicate the total tribe was 15000 people.. i think this may be an editing error, seeing as Shaka's armies exceeded 10000 people. I stand to be corrected as well. by 170.148.198.156 (talk · contribs)

Nationality[edit]

I am concerned about the use of the word "nationality" in her infobox. I am also concerned about the designation of South African as her nationality. Yes, Nandi was from the Southern part of Africa, but South African as a nationality did not exist until the British annexed the Zulu territory. The concept of "nation" would not have been particularly developed during Nandi's time, but surely she would have considered herself Zulu, not South African.
