It is based on his song Mbube which was originally written in Zulu and refers to Shaka the Zulu warrior king who heroically resisted the armies of the European colonizers, who is supposed not to be dead but only sleeping and will one day awaken and return to lead his oppressed people to freedom. Very like the Arthurian legend - who will awaken at our hour of greatest need. This story has been taken and adapted and finally even ended up in the film Lion King with hardly anyone knowing the true history of Shaka - Zulu origins.
