Shaka Zulu (TV series)

Shaka Zulu was a 1986 television miniseries directed by William C. Faure and written by Joshua Sinclair for the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC). It is based on the story of Shaka, king of the Zulu nation from 1816 to 1828, and the writings of the British traders who dealt with him (as such they come very positively compared to historical accounts of their actions). The series consisted of 10 episodes approximately 50 minutes each in length. The series was based on Sinclair's novel of the same name.
