SYNOPSIS
After an introductory note about some traditions of expeditions sent by the Zulu despot, Shaka, to the Northern Transvaal, the author relates the migration of some Lemba people, who, coming from Belingwe in Southern Rhodesia, stayed for a couple of years with Shaka as the King's medicine men, as told by old Rhodesian Lemba. These events are dated to approximately 1819–23. In the last section, it is claimed that Shaka's remote ancestors were people of the Hera Shava clan of the Karanga – a section of the Lala cluster – who in the 16th century migrated from what is now Southern Rhodesia to the Tembe country.
