EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense gaze of Dabulamanzi, the younger brother of the renowned Zulu Commander Cetewayo (also known as Cetshwayo), during the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. The image, titled "Isandula, or Dabulamanzi, Zulu Commander," was taken at the Isandlwana River, the site of one of the most significant battles of the war. Dabulamanzi, a skilled military leader in his own right, played a pivotal role in the conflict. He commanded the left wing of the Zulu army during the Battle of Isandlwana, which saw the British forces suffer a devastating defeat. The Zulus, under the leadership of their king Cetewayo, had been drawn into conflict with the British due to perceived encroachments on their land and sovereignty. The lantern held by Dabulamanzi in the photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the historical context of the image. Lanterns were essential tools for communication and coordination during nighttime battles, and their use was a common tactic employed by both the Zulu and British forces. The lantern also symbolizes the contrasting worlds of the two sides: the traditional Zulu way of life, represented by the lantern, and the encroaching modernity of the British Empire. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a rare glimpse into the face of a key figure in the Anglo-Zulu War. It reminds us of the complex history of the Zulu people and their struggle to maintain their independence in the face of colonial expansion. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Zulu warriors and their leaders, who continue to inspire pride and respect among the Zulu people and beyond.
