-(Dingiswayo) On my way here, -(lion roaring)

I killed this lion.

(Bhungane) Since you are in exile, what should we call you?

Call me "The Exiled One".

(Sompisi) We're here to pledge our loyalty to you, King Senzangakhona.

(Senzangakhona) What's the lady's name?

I am Bhibhi.

-(elephant roaring) -Turn back.

(Bhibhi) She's toxic. She's poisoned her child too.

-He is dangerous. -No.

My mother says I'll be a great King.

-How does she know that? -The Sanusi told her.

The traders betrayed me.

I will delay them when they get here.

(Dingiswayo/Ngomane grunting)

-(gun firing) -(Dingiswayo gasping)

(Shaka) I did it, the right way.

-(Nandi) Menzi! Leave him! -(Senzangakhona) What are you doing?

You no longer have a place here at the palace.

Leave.

(slow-paced dramatic music)

(Man) Down. Down.

(Zitha) Nduku, how many?

Just two more.

-(Zitha) Two? -(Nduku) Two.

(Zitha) I want you all to listen. From here...

we're going to the sea.

There's food there.

If we work together,

without problems, we'll have a peaceful journey.

Nduku, let's go to the boats.

-(whip lashing) -(indistinct chatter)

(dramatic music)

(birds chirping)

(melancholic music)

(Mkabayi) Men usually impress with displays of their power and strength.

Women have silent strength...

that surfaces when it is needed.

-(Nandi) Look at the butterfly. -(Nomcoba gasping)

(Nandi) There.

Mlilwana.

We will rest here.

(Mkabayi) Nandi's strength was forged harder than iron

by the burning flame she held for her son, Shaka.

There you go.

(ominous music)

-(Man laughing) -Wait.

(Man) Here's food for men.

(Nandi gasping) Mlilwana!

Let him go!

I'm Nandi.

Queen of King Senzangakhona of the Zulu Kingdom.

(laughing)

A Queen? You?

So, what are you doing here?

(Nandi yelling)

(indistinct grunting/yelling)

(Nandi panting)

Get up.

(Mudli) Daughter of eLangeni.

Sorry for being late.

We can follow you from a distance until you safely reach eLangeni.

-Zulu. -Queen.

Let's go.

(dramatic music)

Let's go Shaka.

(Mudli) The King will not be happy to hear

that the Queen and his children left home in this manner.

(Nandi) You saw what was done to me and my children.

It was in the heat of the moment.

-Let it go my Queen. -Let it go?

Let it go.

When my son's life is at risk,

with that witch Bhibhi thirsty for his blood?

One day the King will realise the truth.

Hey, no resting.

-No rest, stand up. -(groaning)

Get up, let's go.

What kind of man are you?

(Nduku) What?

Trafficking people?

I'm your King.

King? You're no King, bastard.

(Dingiswayo groaning)

(Nduku) You're stubborn. I'll show you.

-You don't know me. -(Zitha) What are you doing?

These people are only valuable to me alive.

What will I get for two corpses? No.

(Ngomane grunting)

Let's go. Let's go.

(Nduku) Let's go! Go! Go! Go! Move! Move! Move! Move!

This way.

(Mgabhi) My sister...

with the loose tongue.

So you thought...

you could return to eLangeni

to disgrace us once again.

(Nandi) Do you wish to see us roaming the land, brother?

(scoffing) You know...

you're just like your mother.

You think you know it all.

You think you're better than others.

Your mother is not here at eLangeni.

She's returned to her birthplace at the Qwabe.

(Nandi) I am not of Qwabe.

My umbilical cord was buried in this kraal.

(Mgabhi) A woman expelled from her marriage home

is usually an unfaithful wife.

(indistinct chatter)

You can accuse me of many things

but I'm not that type of woman.

You brought us Shaka while you were supposedly a virgin.

Turn around boy. Turn around. Turn around.

Turn around. Turn around.

Are you not embarrassed by what your mother did?

(tense music)

(Mgabhi) Well, relax.

You can stay for now, only if you obey the rules.

Do you hear me?

(Nandi) Your will be done...

-King. -Is this how we say thank you?

King of all nations.

Son of Mbhengi.

Follow me.

(Makhedama) He's so ugly, this boy.

(boys laughing)

(Nandi exhaling sharply)

Mlilwana.

How can I help with this mess?

Let's start with this rubbish.

(Shaka) Mother?

What's wrong?

Looks like uncle doesn't want us here.

He'll get used to it.

This is my home. This is also your home.

KwaNobamba is my home.

Take the wax out of your ears, boy.

We're never going back there. Your father doesn't want us.

Maybe if I apologise he'll take us back.

Don't you dare!

I never want to hear you say you want to apologise. You hear me?

You did nothing wrong.

Understood?

(Piklile whispering) Nandi.

-(Nandi) My goodness. -(Piklile laughing)

Wake me up. Am I dreaming?

-Hello, girl. -(Nandi) Piklile!

How are you?

I'm better now that I see you.

-(both) Wow. -So many years have passed.

Who is that?

That's my cub.

Don't say. Shaka?

Hello.

Come closer Mlilwana.

-Come greet. -Wow!

-You've done well. -He has grown. He has grown a lot.

-Here's some food. -You've come to our rescue.

Thank you. You just missed Nomcobo. She is sleeping.

-There's another? -My princess.

Congratulations.

-Thank you. -Listen.

I heard what happened at the Zulu.

-You know news travels fast. -It does indeed.

-I'm sorry-- -But since you are here let's...

My goodness.

Are my eyes deceiving me? Those beads?

-(laughing) -Is it true?

-It is indeed. -My eyes are not deceiving me.

What's going on? Did Mfanafuthi..?

No.

Talk then.

I'm marrying King Mgabhi, your brother.

(exhaling sharply)

I'm so happy for you. You'll be a Queen.

It feels like a dream.

Looks like you have doubts.

Your brother told me not to talk to you.

What do you say?

But Nandi, what can I say? The situation is forcing me to--

Don't explain further.

-(Piklile) Thank you. -(Maiden) Piklile?

-Alright then. -(Maiden) Where are you?

-(melancholic music) -Yoh.

(Nduku) Load them up.

Load them in.

Come. Grab them.

(indistinct chatter)

(Nduku) Go.

Hey, you. Don't you want to go?

Are you refusing to get in? You don't want to go?

-Get in. -(gun cocking)

You're wasting our time. You don't want to go?

(Man crying)

(Nduku) Hey! Load them in! Load them in!

-Bring them. Bring them. -(Zitha) Wait, wait.

Anyone who refuses to get in the boats, will also die.

-Bring them. -(Nduku) Let's go.

Bring the others.

You. Why are you so stubborn?

Why are you so stubborn?

Let's go.

Come.

Get him in.

Put him in.

Get in. Get in. We don't have time.

Get in. Get in.

Sit down.

(sombre music)

(metal scraping)

(Makhedama) Look, I'll hit it.

(grunting)

No man, you've bewitched me. You've bewitched me.

Let me try again. Come.

-I'm hitting the target this time. -Hit it.

-(Boy #1) Release the ball. -(Boy #2) Release the ball.

Watch me.

(Shaka) What is he doing? I can do better than him.

No, Shaka.

Stay away from Makhedama.

Why?

(Mfundeka) He thinks he's the leader of the herd, but he's just a bully.

Let me show you. Let me show you.

Come. (grunting)

What's this? Hey!

What did I say? Can I play?

Come on. (chuckling)

Mama's boy is trying his luck with me.

Let me play.

Oh. You want to play?

Very well, come play then.

Throw the ball. Come.

Watch him miss.

I got it.

-What did I say to you? -Leave me alone.

-You'll never beat me. -I said leave me alone.

Hold on. Hold on.

Wow! Such a sharp spear.

-I just made it. -You made it now?

Yes I made it now.

(groaning) There we go.

Now it's short like your penis.

Take.

You think you can make a spear better than ours?

Never.

What's this?

(melancholic music)

-(Slave coughing) -(Nduku) Go!

Hello.

Hello, my friend.

(groaning)

Go.

Why are you stopping?

(dramatic music)

(Zitha speaking indistinctly)

These two are troublesome.

Go.

Move.

Let's go. Let's go!

Go.

(Nduku) Move! Move!

-Why are you stopping? Go. -(Slave crying softly)

(tense music)

-(Man whistling) -(cattle bellowing)

(Gendeyana) Greetings.

I am Gendeyana from the Qwabe clan.

I'm pleased to see you.

Thank you for welcoming me,

but the sad thing...

is the King's passing.

Hm. Because you have to deal with me now?

(laughing)

You're welcome at eLangeni.

You may sit. Get him a stool.

This man is a man amongst men.

He's wealthy with many cattle.

Well, let's eat.

(slow-paced dramatic music)

(Gendeyana) Greetings, Queen.

Do you need help?

I don't need help.

It's wrong of your brother...

to abuse you like this.

You're a Queen.

Sorry for not introducing myself.

I'm Gendeyana.

A general in the army of King Khondlo of the Qwabe.

You're so far from home.

(Gendeyana) You're right.

Let me tell you why I'm here.

Your mother sent me to check on you

because she heard what happened.

No...

that's kind of her.

But as I said, I don't need anybody's help.

I can tell from the way you talk to me,

you don't remember who I am.

I know you well.

You once tried to court me.

(chuckling) Wow.

I was afraid of women back then,

but I'm older now.

If you say so.

I think it would be better if you return home with us.

You'd be better received at the Qwabe than here.

This is my home.

Besides, in due time...

my brother will accept that I'm back.

If he doesn't?

I'll do what's best for my son.

(melancholic music)

(flies buzzing)

(horse neighing)

(Slave grunting/groaning)

(Dingiswayo grunting)

We have to get out of here.

You're a smart man, Ngomane.

When are you going to realise we're on the same side?

Nothing has changed, Prince.

When I get out of here,

I'll still drag you back to Mthethwa.

(indistinct chatter)

How are the other boys treating you?

Fine, I have no complaints.

Life has ups and downs Mlilwana,

but it won't end like this.

One day you'll be a King of Kings.

Nations will bow to you.

For now, we have to survive.

(dramatic music)

(Woman #1 laughing) Is this the precious Princess?

-(Woman #2) With her Shaka. -(Woman #1) Hey.

(Woman #2) He'll always be a wimp hanging on his mother's skirt.

-On his mother's back. -# How the mighty have fallen #

(women) # Picking up cow dung #

(Woman #2) That thing will never rule. He will never be King.

(women) # How the mighty # # Have fallen #

# Picking up cow dung #

Mlilwana, let's go.

# Picking up cow dung #

# How the mighty have fallen #

# Picking up cow dung #

(Woman #1) Look at him. He's leaving.

Look at them running away.

# How the mighty have fallen #

# Picking up cow dung #

(sinister music)

So, you know how to work?

I heard you're attaching yourself...

to the Qwabe guy, Gendeyana.

Attaching myself because he spoke to me once?

What are your spies telling you?

Are you getting loose again?

Stay away from men.

Remember that you're still married.

What do you want from me, brother?!

Why do you hate me so much?

You shame the Mhlongo family.

You shame eLangeni people.

You shame me especially!

You're a disgrace.

(tense music)

(Nduku) Separate the weak from the strong.

(Dingiswayo grunting)

(Dingiswayo) The day I get out of these shackles,

I'll kill you with my bare hands.

(Nduku) Listen here.

Tomorrow, you're getting on a ship

to become slaves for the Portuguese.

(bird cawing)

(goat bleating)

(ominous music)

(Makhedama) How about we take a walk?

Follow me, cousin.

You want to be one of us?

We don't just accept anyone.

(Shaka) What are you talking about?

A ritual, Prince.

That we guys do.

Do you know where we do it?

It takes place there.

Do you know who lives there?

Amalala live there.

Men of darkness,

who devour children.

Are you afraid, Prince?

No.

Then I'll see you tonight.

(flies buzzing)

(Slave coughing)

These people are exhausted.

But they are warriors.

They'll put up a fight.

(Nduku) Time to board the ship. Let's go. Let's go! Let's go!

Move. Stand up!

Stand up!

(Man) Wake up.

(Nduku) Stand up.

Stand up. What's going on here?

Is it hunger? Wake up, wake up, wake up!

-(Dingiswayo grunting) -(groaning)

(Nduku/Dingiswayo grunting)

(men grunting)

(dramatic music)

I told you I was going to kill you.

(Nduku choking)

Dog.

(Nduku groaning)

(fast-paced dramatic music)

(men grunting/groaning)

(Man yelling)

(Dingiswayo/Ngomane panting)

Wait, Ngomane. There's a path, this way.

(dramatic music)

(both grunting/breathing heavily)

(Dingiswayo) I can't return to Mthethwa with you.

I can't go back without you.

I'm not leaving without you.

(tense music)

-(Shaka grunting) -(Makhedama) Shhh.

This is the tree.

Go touch it.

That one?

(owl hooting)

(Shaka) No. Let me go.

Let me go. Let me go.

Don't be scared, Prince.

It's part of the ritual we perform in the bush.

I don't like this.

(Makhedama) Trust us, we are friends.

Why are you doing this to me?

What are you going to do to us?

Hm?

Keep quiet, otherwise the Amalala will hear you.

-(Shaka grunting) -(metal clanging)

(Makhedama) Do you hear that?

Amalala are coming.

(ominous music)

(Shaka panting/grunting)

Please. Please don't hurt me.

(Mayinga) Boy...

are you coming or do you want to be eaten by hyenas?

(metal clanking)

-(metal sizzling) -(Mayinga) Men, look what I found.

His friends tied him to a tree to be eaten by hyenas.

Come sit next to me.

My name is Mayinga.

-Sit. -(Amalala #1) What's your name?

Shaka.

(Amalala #1) Shaka?

Take.

-Drink. -Don't be afraid.

There's no urine or blood.

It's only beer.

Are you men or spirits?

We are all things, my boy.

If you were spirits, I'd ask you a question.

Ask any question.

How do I get back my destiny?

Destiny is never given, my boy.

It's always taken.

(dramatic music)

(Mayinga yelling)

What do you see in the flames?

I see many different colours.

Red...

and gold.

Different colours, one after the other.

(Mayinga) Your heart is consumed by anger.

You thirst for revenge.

Be strong.

Always stoke the fire that rages in your heart,

so that your spear...

becomes sharp.

Don't forget my words, my boy.

(dramatic music)

Shaka.

Shaka!

(groaning/yelling)

Help me. Help me.

He's killing me.

He's killing me.

He's killing me! He's killing me!

(Shaka) Mayinga. Mayinga!

Mayinga.

(dramatic music)

Mayinga.

(leaves rustling)

What has your son done?

What cruelty is this, stabbing my child with a spear?

(panting) I'm sure there's an explanation.

(Mgabhi) An explanation? What reason could he have to stab my child?

Many have died for lesser offenses.

Brother, please calm down.

-Calm down? -Please have mercy, brother.

-Please have mercy, brother. -Find the boy, Shaka. Right now!

Bring him here. I want him to kneel here

and answer for his crime before me. Right now!

(Nandi) Mlilwana!

Mlilwana?

Mlilwana?

Mlilwana.

Greetings Queen mother.

I can't talk. I'm looking for my son, Mlilwana.

Have you seen him?

I found him.

Queen, King Mgabhi is determined to teach you and your son a lesson.

My sincere advice is for you to take refuge

with your mother to be safe.

(Nxazonke) He's right, cousin.

You have to leave and save your son's life.

These mountains of eLangeni are now your enemy.

(Nandi) Son, are you okay?

Where is this new home?

Your grandmother's place, the Qwabe.

And this man?

-(Nandi) He could be a father to you. -(Shaka) No, no.

He'll never be my father.

Senzangakhona, son of Jama, is my father and I'll always be Zulu.

King Senzangakhona, son of Jama, is my father

and I'll always be Zulu.

King Senzangakhona, son of Jama, is my father...

Princess.

Mommy's Princess.

Mommy's Princess.

(Mkabayi) Once again, Nandi found herself homeless and stateless.

But this time she and her son, Shaka,

had a burning desire to find a home that no one could take from them.
