Zulu Rebellion

1887 CE

The British had not immediately intervened in Zululand, as they see the Boer-Zulu land issue as one of Christianity against paganism.

Instead, on October 22nd, 1886, they recognize the new Boer Republic, and the following year Britain also annexes the Zulu territory north of the Thukela river, establishing magistracies for its administration.Following the annexation of what remains of the Zulu territory north of the Thukela river and the defeat of the Zulu uprising led by Dinuzulu in June 1888, Dinuzulu is tried for high treason in eShowe and found guilty.

In 1890 he is banished to St. Helena by the British, together with his uncles, princes Ndabuko and Shingana.
