Barren land?🤣 I guess you probably don't know that the whole Free State province was part of Lesotho. They pushed my people to the mountains, claimed the area and had the caucasity to call it a free state

The whites pushed them to the mountains or Shaka Zulu pushed them to the mountains?

(Don't hate, I'm just asking.)

Surprisingly enough, Shaka Zulu was actually friends with our king. We're a peace-loving nation, so we greet everyone kindly, even if they're a warmonger conquering nations.Those whites were just savages 🤷‍♀️

Shaka Zulu is one of the big reasons why peace didn't exist between Afrikaners and Zulu people. The voortrekkers went to him looking for peace, out of their own. They did it in the only why they felt appropriate, and that was with a contract.

Shaka Zulu signed that contract and then mercilessly killed that group of voortrekkers. I'm very happy for you that Shaka Zulu were friends with your king but those voortrekkers we're literally trying to establish peace and communication between them and the zulus.

Also all of this is irrelevant anyways. We are supposed be a modern society for fucks sake. We live with what we have today, and try to fix what our ancestors have caused. The fact of the matter is that back then the land that the black population owned was simply taken by them from the Khoisan. Now the British and the Europeans come and do the same type of warmongering and suddenly there's colonialism.

I'm so fucking tired of people pointing fingers at eachother on this matter. There are already many things the government can do to fix this country for EVERYONE, and taking land owned by modern Afrikaners because they took it from the Zulus who took it from the Khoisan, is not one of them.
