| You need to go right to the beginning. Google the cause of the Anglo Zulu War. |

| This is not because Frere wanted to create the future white state "South Africa" and that therefore, it was federate all nations, black or Boers in this part of Africa ?

| Frere would have had no interest in having blacks or Boers in this state. Protection and accummulation of diamonds and gold, yes. |

| Ok impossible to take the gold or diamonds without crush the Zulus and then annex their country , but there were about gold and diamonds in Zululand ?
If so, how could they know, since the Zulus had no mines of gold or diamonds and that no whites were sought in Zululand for that ?
the invasion of Matabeleland for gold or diamonds, it's Ok, but for Zululand, is another matter ...
The idea is that Frere wanted to create a confederation or a federation and make it safe from Zulu, crushing, and then annexing them is more realistic.
Cape Colony + Natal + Transvaal + Zululand = South Africa dreamed by Frere ...
