Nobody knows how long there have been people living in thesouthern part of the African mainland. Experts dates foundings ofirontools in the Swaziland to the 4th century. Sailors who wereshipwrecked outside the coast of South-Africa had contact with people whoearned their living by farming and cattlebreeding. Later on when theEuropeans arrived to South-Africa, they found a people on the east coastof Natal who called themselves" A ma zulu". These people were tall andvery atleticly build, they could take great effort in both hunting and warand their knowledge to the nature was incredable. The Zulu tribe was once one of South-Africas biggest and mostpowerful tribes and they managed to stand up against the British untilthey lost the Zulu war in 1897. The tribes defece system was wery simmularto the system we have in Norway today. The troops were devided intoregiments according to their age. And they got military training indiffrent parts of the country, just as we do in Norway today. The Zulues want to keep their tradition and identity alive, but they havea lot to struggle against.

The majority of the marriges nowadays aremonogame anyway. In the present of the chief or his representativ, thenewcomers friend points out a piece of land for his friend.

" Every spring since that time have girls and married womenperformed a rituale to make sure they would get a good growth, more cattleand healthy children. The child belongs to the man, the farmer whosawed the first seed. Cronic suffering are looked at as a result of magic, mad ancesters or adirty soul. Inside the cabinthe men eat on the right hand side and the women eat on the left handsideof the room.
