King Shaka Memorial, Memorial site in KwaDukuza, South Africa.
The granite monument stands at the burial place of King Shaka, featuring inscriptions that detail the life of the Zulu monarch.
King Shaka met his death at this location in September 1828 when his half-brothers Dingane and Mhlangana orchestrated his assassination.
The memorial functions as a central gathering point for annual ceremonies where Zulu warriors and royal family members honor their former leader.
The memorial includes an information center with exhibits about Zulu military strategies and the original stone where King Shaka rested before his death.
A large rock near the memorial was transported from across the street, marking the exact spot where King Shaka sat during his final moments.
