I plan to cover the tribal life of the Zulu people, their traditions and their beliefs.
Specific areas (at the moment - these might change/increase)
Brief history of the Zulu nation.
Traditions/beliefs - this will cover all aspects of their life from childhood to adulthood to marriage and finally to death.

Do you have enough material for more than one guide entry?
I think normally university projects have more than one, and are larger in focus than yours. Do you know anyhthing about other African tribes? If so, you could broaden your topic a whole lot.

I can change my Project name to Tribes of Southern Africa and cover Zulu, Xhosa, Venda, Shangaan etc. If I do this, would I then do them as separate guide entries?

Yes to separate guide entries, see a good in-progress example here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A533747
Also, have you created a project index(an entry like the one above)? This is listed as the first step on creating a project in the guidelines on the admissions page, so I assume it's important.
check the example project index, too: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A439247

I have changed my project title to Tribes of Southern Africa and my index now lists the tribes I will research. If accepted will I start the guide entry as a new entry - separate from my Index?
Thanks for your help.

Yes, a separate guide entry for each tribe would be appropriate.
Oh, about your project page: use the GuideML code to put in line breaks where necessary.
Hmmm... you might start another thread with your newly named project to generate some interest. I know its a hassle but you probably need to go over again exactly what you'll be covering with each tribe and soforth.
Good Luck!
