1. Title: A Historical Landmark of South Africa: The Shepstone Monument in Pietermaritzburg The Shepstone Monument, located in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, stands as a significant historical landmark, commemorating the events leading to the annexation of the last independent Zulu kingdom by the British in 1843. The monument was unveiled in 1906, as depicted in this black-and-white photograph from 1906, available through Mary Evans Prints Online. The Shepstone Monument is named after Sir Henry Bulwer-Lytton, 12th Baronet of Knebworth and the British High Commissioner at the time of the annexation. The monument is designed as a column with a statue of Sir Henry Bulwer-Lytton on top, symbolizing the British influence and dominance over the region. The base of the monument is adorned with intricate carvings depicting various scenes from the history of the area, including the signing of the Treaty of Pondoland and the subsequent annexation of the Zulu kingdom. The Shepstone Monument holds immense historical significance for South Africa, as it marks the end of the Zulu wars and the beginning of British rule in the region. The monument serves as a reminder of the complex and often tumultuous history of South Africa, and stands as a testament to the resilience and strength of the people who have inhabited this land for centuries.
