In this issue
In 1819, the year of modern Singapore’s founding, Shaka Zulu defeated the army of
Ndwandwe. This marked the beginning of the Zulu nation. Shaka Zulu’s military record stands
as a paragon of innovation. His organisation and tough training methods created an army of
professional and disciplined soldiers. He enhanced mobility by forcing his warriors to
throw away their traditional sandals and run barefoot. He exploited technology to develop
the short stabbing spear, called the “assegai”. This new weapon revolutionised warfare in Southern Africa. Shaka Zulu’s warriors used the assegai to close in for the kill, while the inaccurate long throwing spears favoured by the enemy bounced harmlessly off their large hide shields.
