Today, we travel to South Africa for the story of Nandi- Queen Mother of Zululand (1766 - 1826)
The story of Nandi is one of courage and steadfast devotion…
The year was 1786, and Nandi had given birth to a son, the first son of a Zulu King, whom they named Shaka. But the King’s other wives, jealous and bitter, pressured him to banish Nandi and the young boy Shaka.
Steadfast and proud, Nandi raised her son in exile and made sure he received the kind of training and guidance a royal heir should have.
For her many sacrifices, Nandi was finally rewarded. Her son Shaka returned home to become a great Zulu King.
To this day, the Zulu people use her name, "Nandi," to refer to a woman of high esteem.
Queen Mother Nandi, we salute you
