I would have to say Shaka Zulu. He designed a new weapon for his troops (the "i-klwas"), instilled modern style discipline, and used completely different tactics in each of his major battles. Although he died before the Zulu Wars against the British, he had built an army which was able to inflict the worst single defeat against colonial Britain (Battle at Isandlwana), while using basically iron age weapons.

Shaka Zulu, I forgot about him, he was a great commander.
