His parents evidently weren't aware that ole Shaka was one of the most virulent genocidal madmen in world history (https://www.lookandlearn.com/blog/13855/shaka-the-mfecane-and-africas-first-recorded-genocide/) and that all of his victims were fellow black Africans (he apparently had a good relationship with British traders on the Eastern Coast). Or possibly they were and just chalked it up to garden-variety black on black violence, who knows.
