Zulu military tactics ara associated
with the name Of Tyaka, the ruthless
Zulu conque1or, who welded tsto the
stock OF the Amazulu, the people Of the

Hocs tribes he conquered, incorporat-
Ing them into regiments and thus
building up Q powerful military na-
hou. Yet It was 20 DinGsiEayo, the

Orange River Colony, and 1t was the
Scar Of its success which kept the
Beers continually on the run. The best
thing with which to compare It Is the
