A film adaptation. But the closest to what I envision Queen Nandi as. The most remarkable woman in history. Underrated due to the prowess off he son's strength and ultimate domination of the Zulu Kingdom. To me, and as far as I can recall... Queen Nandi knew her worth, never settled for less and through the judgment of her family, the clan and sometimes her children she knew what was best. Patriarchy in our culture exists today, and imagine how intensified it was in her time. This type of sacrifice for romantic love, for family and your own children is not easy, because even those within your immediate circle may never support you due to the ideals which have polluted their minds. Queen Nandi pushed through, and as a result gave uShaka the ultimate platform to BE THE GREATEST King the Zulu Kingdom has ever seen. But remembering always her power and efforts as an African Woman. Outside of my own Mother, Grandmother and stories of my greatgrand mother... Queen Nandi stands as a remarkable woman. An African woman of note. And I do have so much more to learn from my own history. . . . . . . . #queennandi#africanqueen#remarkablewoman#womanist#Nandi#southafrica#🇿🇦#kwazulu#kingshaka#shaka#zulu#zuluculture (at Eshowe, KwaZulu-Natal)

I'm currently reading up on Queen Nandi ka Bhebhe. What an inspiring woman! She went through so much and yet she rose above it.

In Zulu oral history, she's represented as a deviant and a non-conformist. She's painted as a loose canon. Izibongo zakhe call her "uMathanga kawahlangani. Ahlangana ngokubon'umnyeni" (She whose thighs do not meet. They only meet on seeing the husband)😢 This woman was ridiculed for her supposed "promiscuity" after she fell pregnant out of wedlock. For the longest time, King Senzangakhona (the father of her child) claimed that she wasn't pregnant but what she was experiencing was symptomatic of being bitten by the "ishaka" beetle. Apparently this intestinal beetle affected one's menstrual cycle.

King Senzangakhona eventually married the pregnant Queen Nandi and she became his third wife. At some point in their relationship, the Queen was kicked out of King Senzangakhona's clan for her supposed violent and temperamental nature. History alleges that she struck one of the King's leading men with isagila.

Subsequent to her departure, she lived with various members of the Elangeni clan. While living nabantu baseLangeni, she continued to endure mockery for her pregnancy situation. Her son was bullied by older boys and was called "the fatherless one". She took her son everywhere and loved him dearly. On occasion they had to part while she fended for them.

This woman was a wonderful mother. She raised who we now know as iNkosi uShaka. To paint her as "Som(n)qeni" (father of laziness) in Zulu praise poetry is ridiculous. That's literally how izibongo zakhe begin. SOM(N)QENI😢

As a Zulu woman, I feel disempowered by this historical account. I feel stripped of agency. I feel gagged by HIStory. I cannot breathe. #nandikabhebhe #queennandi #ndlovukazi #bayede #motherhood #zuluhistory #lifeofaphdstudent
