Shaka – Player 9

He has the ability to see what is happening behind him at all times.

Shaka has been on the team the longest. He has the ability to see what is happening behind him at all times.  As you have already probably guessed, Shaka is named after Shaka Zulu.Shaka kaSenzangakhona is probably the most popular Bantu king we know of. He was the founder of the mighty Kingdom of  the Zulu in the early 1800s. He was one of the most influential kings of the Zulu’s because he rebuilt and rearranged the military into an unstoppable force.His father was the Zulu chief Senzangakhona. Shaka’s anger probably stemmed from the fact that he was an illegitimate child, so he was raised by his mother in her village, where he was  ushered into ibutho lempi (fighting unit) serving as a warrior under Dingiswayo. Shaka was such a great warrior that he was able to improve the ibutho military system and he made many forged alliances with other tribes and clans to strengthen himself against the possibility of nearby threats. He was diplomatic, strategic and even used social propaganda for his political success and victories in war. 
Shaka played a very large role in the start of the tragic tribal wars in South Africa called the Mfecane or Difaqane wars. These wars were so destructive that they caused a decrease in the black population of Southern Africa at the time.
