King Cetshwayo Musical Director, Jerry Pooe says the play highlights that the struggle for freedom started a long time ago.
The internationally acclaimed production is making its way to South Africa after it premiered in Wales last year.
The production restates the story of the victory of the Zulu nation against the British troops in 1879 at the seminal Battle of Isandlwana.
The story of King Cetshwayo is told through dance, music, pictures and video.
King Cetshwayo was born in 1826 to Mpande who was King Shaka’s half-brother. His father declared him his successor very early on in life, which was unusual for a King to do.
Speaking on Morning Live, Pooe says Africans must take pride that they conquered the English using spears.
