Shaka may have created a great nation, but he did this by being massively destructive. His mindset was psychopathic and maniacal. He also did all of this in a vacuum of wilderness, which is all there was at this stage of Africa. He raped and pillaged and ruled by fear. His madness made him great as does that of many 'great' people. Pushing for the role-model of notoriety over that of basic common sense, is just plain stupid.
