If one counts the wars in South Africa from 1877 to 1879 as the "Zulu War" then the obituary is correct. The South Africa Medal (commonly referred to as the "Zulu War Medal") was issued for other than the Zulu War. HMS Himalaya was awarded the South Africa Medal for the period 9 March to 15 Mar 1878, but not for the Zulu War.
