Only In South Africa I think

I am looking for a book called "The Diaries Of Henry Francis Fynn" I think you all may find it easier than I can. It is the story of the Great Shaka King Of The Zulus. If you can locate a copy can you pick it up and bring to World Finals.

Re: Only In South Africa I think

If it'll help any, I've got some old Chaka Kahn albums still . . . . . .

They're kinda worn though, I used to have at least one "Funk-a-delic-boogie-get-mah-freak-on" night every week . . . . . . .

Here lately it's kinda lapsed into a once a month thing though, ever since I had to put my Glitter thong in the shop for repairs. . . . . . . .

Gettin' my funk on just ain't the same without the Glitter thong . . . . . .

Re: Only In South Africa I think

Actually Lisa the book is for me!! Henry Francis Fynn made his diaries while living in South Africal with the Zulu people while Shaka was King of the Zulus. His book is considered THE authority on Shaka. Damn Rager!! I am now reading every book I can get my hands on about Shaka and the Zulu nations!!! "You and your little Nandi dog tooooooo" Spend half the night reading words with too many vowels!!!

Re: Only In South Africa I think

What got you so into old Shaka Zulu? I grew up in SA and read Fynn's book in school. Shaka for sure changed the face of history in Southern Africa, mostly through his development of the stabbing spear and brutal training his Impis (warriors) had to endure. Let me know if you are still having trouble finding the book and I'll see if some of the family that are still back there can locate it for you.
