What is a iNtanga or is that a who......same goes for langala or whatever.
in the Zulu military hierarchy a regiment was called “ibutho” (sometimes written as “impi” but that simply means a body of men). Each ibutho had shields made of a similar color of cow hide and wore distinctive regaila (although that was rarely worn into battle so the shied provided senior commanders with a visual ID of the ibutho). Senior amabutho shields tended to be made of white hide. The way Shaka, and his successors, formed their amabutho was by age groups, or iNtanga, to ensure all the warriors in a particular ibutho were all of the same age range. In theory there were 1,000 warriors per ibutho. As ibutho got older their role in battle changed until the men were too old and the ibutho was retired from active service.
Langala is a Bantu language spoken mostly in the Congo region (and possibly in discrete parts of Estonia).

I'll work up a few designs this afternoon and post them later. Might as well put all my years of pretending to be a graphic designer to work, eh?

while Bun-bun might be a nice addition there may be some copyright issues to be dealt with for his use (not to mention that he may show up at your door and cut you).
