I have been told there, was a movie about Cetewayo, where he had a poor chap who annoyed him coated in clay a bamboo tube was inserted in each end and then roasted over a open fire.Not sure if I believe it.

However does anyone know if there was a movie about Cetewayo.

I have searched IMDB for Cetewayo and the only reference is "Zulu"- i think it is probably Shaka .

I’m not even sure Shaka would have done this.

"It is from a film entitled 'The Naked Prey' directed & starring Cornel Wilde. Gert van den Bergh - Adendorff in 'Zulu' - mets a nasty fate too!"

hi pete .
This also from a zulu historian , the film the naked prey is available on DVD, it also stars , Ken Gampu , the
messenger in Zulu Dawn . Although it is NOT an historical piece or actually set in Zululand .
cheers 90th.

ps. Check wikipedia , under Naked prey to get a rundown on the production.
