After this battle the Zulu army dispersed, most of the leading chiefs tendered their submission, and Cetshwayo became a fugitive. On 28 August the king was captured and sent to Cape Town. (It is said that scouts spotted the water-carriers of the King, distinctive because the water was carried above, not upon, their heads). His deposition was formally announced to the Zulu, and Wolseley drew up a new scheme for the government of the country. The Chaka dynasty was deposed, and the Zulu country portioned among eleven Zulu chiefs, including Cetshwayo and one of his sons Usibepu, John Dunn, a white adventurer, and Hlubi, a Basuto chief who had done good service in the war.

Chief Buthelezi, 80, on his first ever visit to Wales, was shown Zulu spears, clubs, necklaces and other belongings taken as trophies by British troops from the battlefields. He seemed fascinated by the items on display at a regimental museum and was shown the Victoria Cross awarded to Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead after Rorke’s Drift.

During the first major Zulu attack, a warrior leaps down from the rampart and faces a British soldier (near the bottom right of the screen). The soldier lunges with his rifle and it's all too visible that his bayonet stabs "to the side" of the Zulu's chest. Yet the Zulu falls dead; what, was he frightened to death or something?

"Based on a famous heroic exploit, when a handful of British soldiers withstood an onslaught by 4,000 Zulu warriors, the production is distinguished by its notable onscreen values, which are enhanced by top-quality lensing by Stephen Dade. It ... has an intelligent screenplay [suggested by an article by Joseph Prebble and scripted by Prebble and the director] which avoids most of the obvious clichés. It keeps the traditional British stiff-upper-lip attitudes down to the barest minimum.

The Anglo-Zulu War was fought in 1879 between Britain and the Zulu s, and signalled the end of the Zulus as an independent nation. It had complex beginnings, some bad decisions, bloody battles that caused the British to engage earlier than they intended, but played out a common story of colonialism .

Epic in scope and studded with powerful performances, "Zulu" is the classic movie of 100 British soldiers standing up against an onslaught of 4,000 Zulu warriors. While impressive to watch, the budget for the film was small as you'll find out form the highly recommended new DVD release.
