During the Kodesa negotiations there were agreements to sign “peace on the table” – Ingonyama Trust and Ingonyama trust legislation. After 1994 other legislation, like those for the Khoi khoi and San as well as the separate CPA legislation, where certain people have the opportunity to claim land and rule there own “chiefdoms” or whatever the case maybe. Inkatha was founded on the 1912 principle of nonviolence and refused to abandon the fundamental principle that maintained our struggle on the moral high ground. The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), pushed for power to be decentralised and advocated a federal state in which provinces could design tailor-made solutions, rather than being dictated to in a conveyor-belt system of governance from the top.



The IFP won several important victories at the negotiating table, not least the creation of provinces and the inclusion of a Bill of Rights in the Constitution. More than two million votes secured our participation in the government of national unity, where we continued to fight for checks and balances against unfettered power in the ANC.

1879

This video is the third and final part of my Anglo-Zulu war series. The battle of Ulundi was the final and pivotal battle of this war. In this battle, the Zulu defended their capital, Ulundi, from the British attackers. While their effort was heroic, it ended up being inadequate. The British marched through the Zulu army despite being horrendously outnumbered using a specialized box formation and lancers. After the Zulu had tired themselves out assaulting the box formation, the British employed their lancers to scatter or kill the remaining Zulu warriors.
