I don't think the Zaka epic falls in the recent African historical tradition or am I getting you wrong? Check works of Harold Scheub, even though much of his interest is in folklore and folklife, he talks about epic in Africa. Isidore Okpewho might have also spoken to that genre regarding Africa. Oh well, just trying to help. Good luck, friend!

Check out Shaka (a.k.a. Zaka) the Zulu. I think it might fall in that category. Two Kunenes (unrelated) - The lates Daniel Kunene (UW-Madison) and Masisi Kunene (UCLA) were originally from South Africa and have done some works on the subject. Good luck! MOA

Can somebody suggest an epic dealing with any aspect of ancient African history. I am thinking of something like "Sundiata: An Epic of Old Mali," but for the ancient African period. Thank you in advance.
