The Battle of Ulundi

Description

Hear from Michael Nicholas as he sheds light on the events and impact of the last major battle of the Zulu War.

While much popular attention has been given to the Battle of Isandlwana and the Defence of Rorke’s Drift, the events of the final engagement of the Zulu War, at King Cetshwayo’s capital of Ulundi, are often overlooked.

Despite earlier victories in the conflict, the Zulu army was ultimately defeated on 4 July 1879 at the Battle of Ulundi. This resulted in the fall of the famous dynasty, the division of this part of Africa, and widespread heartbreak for years to come.

In this revealing talk, Michael Nicholas will focus on the events leading up to and including the Battle of Ulundi, as well as its tragic aftermath.
