Editing Shaka (section)

==Physical descriptions==
Though much remains unknown about Shaka's personal appearance, sources tend to agree he had a strong, muscular body.{{sfn|Laband|1997}} He was tall and his skin tone was dark brown.

Shaka's enemies described him as ugly in some respects. He had a big nose, according to Baleka of the Qwabe, as told by her father.{{sfn|Laband|1997}} He also had two prominent front teeth. Her father also told Baleka that Shaka spoke as though "his tongue were too big for his mouth." Many said that he spoke with a [[Speech disorder|speech impediment]].

There is an anecdote that Shaka joked with one of his friends, Magaye, that he could not kill Magaye because he would be laughed at. Supposedly if he killed Magaye, it would appear to be out of jealousy because Magaye was so handsome and "Shaka himself was ugly, with a protruding forehead".{{sfn|Laband|1997}}
