The Shaka Memorial is a provincial heritage site in KwaDukuza in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. It marks the resting place of the Zulu King Shaka near the site where he was assassinated by his half-brothers Dingane and Mhlangana while sitting on a rock near the barracks at his capital Dukuza.[1]
According to the 1938 Government Gazette, the monument was made in Newcastle and erected in 1932 on the site of King Shaka's grave.[2]
Adjacent to the memorial is the rock on which King Shaka was alleged to be sitting at the time of his assassination on 24 September 1828.[3] It was rolled across the street from its original site to where it now lies.[4] The date is commemorated by a gathering at the memorial in honour of King Shaka led by the Zulu king, his warriors and dignitaries.[5]
