Let's see shall we

Close Range

The Zulu Axe has the reach advantage obviously as well as delivering more powerful blows with it's axe head. The Barong does have it's advantages though, namely a larger killing surface and it's shorter length actually works in it's favour because the relatively small killing surface of the Zulu Axes makes it easy to get within a range it won't be able to be used.

Edge: Juramentado 

Mid Range 

This is just like the previous edge but with the outcome reversed. The Kampilan has a slightly longer reach but requires two hands to use effectively making it quite slow to swing. The Iklwa is much more compact and quicker to strike with and allows the Zulu to get up close and personal where the Kampilan's reach works against it by simply grasping the spear further up the shaft. This shouldn't be very hard at all considering the Juramentado's penchant for running in and attacking like a mad man.

Edge: Zulu Warrior

Long Range

Normally I'd give the edge to a bow over a throwing projectile any day of the week. However it doesn't look like anybody really read the bio provided for the Juramentado because if they did they'd realise he's not going to even use it. The Juramentado were all about running into the fray sword swinging, not hanging back and shooting with a bow. For this reason the Iwisa get's the edge because the Zulu is actually going to use the damn thing.

Edge: Zulu Warrior

Final Verdict 

The Juramentado is a precurser to the modern suicide bomber in that they specifically trained and psyched themselves up for the express purpose of dying taking down as many enemies as possible. This doesn't lend itself well to tactical thinking or skilled weapon usage more just running in and swinging your sword about until you die. The training mentioned above doesn't even come into it and even if it did the Zulu were a far more professional fighting force and the warriors within it highly disciplined. This works especially well to the Zulu's favour in this battle against an opponent who lacks any discpline and who he can quite easily dispatch. If this was a standard Moro Tribesman then I'd probably give it to them because they have the better weapons on paper but against the crazed, suicidal extremist version of them the Zulu's greater discipline and better mid range weapon (likely the only weapon the Juramentado will attempt to use).

Zulu Warrior: 4,000

Juramentado: 1,000
