First unmarried Zulus: umCijo

Here are the first lot of unmarried Zulus, the umCijo regiment "the sharp pointed". They were also known asuKhandempemvu. At Isandlwana they formed the spearhead for the attack on the camp and wiped out the rear ranks of A and F companies of the 24th Foot. They also fought at Gingindlovu and Ulundi. A tough and brave regiment: the Connaught Rangers of the Zulu army!
