After weeks, make that months, of wondering what the Lembe in the title Shaka iLembe means, sesiyitholile impendulo!

Shaka – he who says he will “win all battles” was not going to let a giant recluse lurking in the woods defy or defeat him. As he is wont to do, uShaka ubhekane nqho nesitha and a glorious battle ensued.

Shaka is no shrinking violet futhi he’s been training hard to be a great soldier and leader …

… but the Lembe is described as uhlanya, umdondoshiya, and one who is feared by the Mthethwa, so it amounted to a battle of David and Goliath proportions.

This is not the first time Shaka has proved his prowess and we’re sure it won’t be the last.
