Possible Zulu Spear ????

I recently picked up this item and even though it has many Iklwa characteristics, such as the blade configuration (14.5 "), and the wire wrapping it is longer than my other Zulu spears(52 "), and the end of the spear is turned(my other spears are not embellished on the ends).
The spear has a great hand forged blade and wonderful wire work and I would like to know if this is a Zulu spear or of a neighboring tribe influenced by the Zulus.
