Well I'd stick with Bureaucracy because it keeps both Moscow and Babylon happy with you.
Otherwise, Representation+Mercantilism... because that will slow the tech rate for others, and you still get America's Trade routes (I would consider changing to Theocracy too if you can get a GA to do it in, you are Shaka, why are you building buildings instead of 2 promotion units)
I still think a Diplomatic victory by means of capitulated vassals only is perfectly in line with Shaka (you force them all to bow the knee). So essentially a 'Diplomation' Victory.
Basically I'd go Korea then France (once you have Rifles, don't wait for Cannons) in Representation, Bureaucracy, Caste, Mercantilism, Theocracy
I would definitely take the deal, Replacable Parts helps you towards Rifling and a faster attack on France. (PS Actually Deficit Research ie 100% science and Then go for the upgrade money at 100% gold) [do that in 2 bursts
1. Get Rifling and upgrade troops while attacking Korea (before France)
2. Get Cannons and upgrade Trebs while attacking France
3. Get Infantry and upgrade troops before attacking Russia/Babylon
