Chapter 30 Chapter 24 The Great Shaka

Leaving aside its inflated title, Cosmos Space Center (which actually has very little planning going on outside of geography), it won't admit that Shaka actually exists.The same is true of the South African Republic's position, which embarrasses or angers South African diplomats whenever the name Shaka is mentioned in a situation that is unclear. Newton's third law (the law of reaction) can be applied to many things, and it can also be applied to politics.There are also some extremists in the League (although the League tries to exclude such people, but it is not serious enough) who continue to plot against the Republic of South Africa, usually through acts of commercial sabotage, but occasionally bombings, disappearances and even assassinations.

Needless to say, the South African government takes all this very seriously, and what they have done is create their own official counterintelligence organization, which is also fairly unrestricted in its activities, but which also claims to know nothing about Shaka; perhaps they use The CIA invented the very effective "spoofed denial" tactic, but it may also be true. There is a theory that Shaka started out as a cipher and then, like Prokofive's Lieutenant Keyhai, took on a life of its own because it was needed in various secret bureaucracies.This also explains why its members have never been defeated or arrested.

But those who believe in Shaka's existence have another, more exaggerated explanation. They believe that Shaka's agents are psychologically brainwashed to commit suicide before they can be interrogated. Whatever the facts, no one could have imagined that two centuries after his death, the legend of the great Zulu tyrant (Shaka) would have an impact on the world that he himself did not know.
