It’s reasonable to point out that the Zulus under Shaka had in the previous century completely wiped out entire tribes and caused a billiard ball effect across a good chunk of the continent that killed millions.

AFAIK, nobody calls his actions genocide.

Perfectly reasonable.

But where to apply for reparation payments for *that*?

Easier to go for the PC-induced guilt-trip idiots with deeper pockets.

In any case, this whole thing was precipitated by Namibian *demands* (sound familiar?). Somehow that part seems to have been lost in the headline.

I’ve read many opinions describing Shaka’s actions as genocide. But Shaka did not rule the German Empire.
