Zulu

Thousands of people gathered at the Zulu royal palace in South Africa on Aug. 20 to witness the crowning of a new king in the country's richest and most influential traditional monarchy.

Misuzulu Zulu, 47, ascended to the throne once held by his late father, Goodwill Zwelithini, during traditional ceremonies that were partially overshadowed by a bitter succession dispute.

Two Africans, who were transferred to the eastern province of Hakkari's women's football club playing in the Turkcell Women 1st League, have said they are happy to be living in the border city.

"I love Hakkari and its people. They are so hospitable," 24-year-old Kenyan midfielder Mwanalima Adam Jereko told state-run Anadolu Agency.

Sometimes men are faced with impossible odds, hopelessly outnumbered or facing a merciless enemy with better weapons or other overwhelming advantages. Occasionally these terrible odds are overcome, as in the battles of Rorke’s Drift and Stalingrad. Other times, such as at the Alamo or Thermopylae, the bravest stood and fought to the bitter end with valiant efforts worthy of remembrance.
