Zulu Warriors

Zulu men addressed disputes in a very fascinating way. These disputes between men are publicly addressed through stick fighting. The fight which is witnessed by the entire village often ends as soon as blood flows from the wounds of the loser.

In the event of death, charges are not brought as long as the fighters go by the rules of engagement. This practice aided the Zulus in warfare against the 1, 500 British troops in 1879.
