"Transvaal" should be accepted for "South African Republic".

I think "Cape Colony" should probably also be accepted (for "UK").

(Accepting only "Zululand" and not "Zulu" or "Zulu Empire" also feels off to me.)

Except Cape Colony (because there are other British colonies in Africa), Transvaal and Zulu (or Zululand) are now correct answers.

Thanx
