An armed band of Zulu warriors, often referred to as an "impis," is a traditional military unit of the Zulu people in South Africa. These warriors are known for their distinctive fighting techniques, discipline, and use of weapons such as spears and shields. Historically, impis played a crucial role in the expansion and defense of the Zulu Kingdom, particularly during the reign of King Shaka in the early 19th century. Their organization and tactics significantly influenced warfare in Southern Africa.

In the movie "Zulu," the first Zulu warrior depicted to die is named Private Henry Hook. He is a character who showcases bravery during the battle but ultimately meets his fate amidst the conflict.

The major form of transportation for the Zulu people historically has been by foot. The Zulu people traditionally relied on walking long distances to travel between villages and territories. Horses also played a significant role in Zulu transportation, particularly for warriors and leaders. Today, modern forms of transportation such as cars, buses, and trains are also commonly used by the Zulu people.
