Mkabayi - The Woman Who Created And Destroyed Shaka Zulu .

Mkabayi kaJama was one of the most powerful — and feared — women in African history. Long before Shaka Zulu became a legendary king, Mkabayi was the force shaping the destiny of the Zulu Kingdom. She was the woman who challenged tradition, defied chiefs, and made decisions that changed the future of an entire nation.

She protected Shaka when the world wanted him dead.
She helped place him on the throne.
She built the Zulu Kingdom’s political foundation.

But she was also the woman accused of destroying him.

This documentary uncovers the shocking and dramatic life of Mkabayi — the kingmaker, strategist, feared queen, and political mastermind whose influence shaped both the rise and the downfall of Shaka Zulu.
It is a story of power, betrayal, loyalty, and the dangerous world of royal politics in 19th-century Africa.
