::The same way that white Americans are invaders in the USA, Zulu Africans are invaders in South Africa, and so on. Reality is, anyone born in Africa is African, just as anyone born in America is American.

:::Why is it necessary for you to divide Africans? The Khoisan, Zulu and all other black folk are Africans. Furthermore, why should the frame of reference of outsiders determine whether so-called Zulu Africans as invaders or not, when in those days the continent did not even have borders. Look, we all know that at the heart of this attempted differentiation of Africans, is the desperation to conjure up some sort of legitimacy over the lands. ] (]) 18:49, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
:::@] Zulu Africans aren't invaders. The Bantu migration was a centuries long migratory drift, not a swift military expansion like the apartheid myth suggests.
