Abstract

Abstract This study deals with the identification of state institutions that emerged and evolved among the Ashanti of West African and the Zulu of South Africa. It argues that the study of the formation of institutions in pre-colonial era compared with colonial Western and Southern Africa can help the understanding of the root causes of problems that abound in the continent today. Additionally, we found that both case study states experienced surprisingly similar aspects and some different paths to statehood. From the historical aspect, this study is of pressing importance to the ethnic people of Africa and to those who are responsible of governing them.
