They are the largest ethnic group in South Africa and have a rich history and distinctive culture. 2. Language: Zulu, or isiZulu, is one of the 11 official languages of South Africa and is spoken by the Zulu people. It is the most widely spoken home language in South Africa. 3. Time Zone: In military and aviation timekeeping, "Zulu" time refers to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
