King and David I. Cleland.

After the death of his mother Nandi in October 1827, the African leader and warlord Shaka Zulu ordered a period of mourning that included everyone in his sway. According to Donald Morris, in this mourning period, Shaka ordered that no crops should be planted during the following year, no milk (the basis of the Zulu diet at the time) was to be used, and any woman who became pregnant was to be killed along with her husband.
