SAFRICA-TRADITION-REED DANCE

A South African maiden dances as others clap during the Reed Dance ceremony on September 5, 2014 at the eNyokeni Royal Palace in Nongoma in the KwaZulu-Natal region, during the 13th anniversary of the Reed Dance (uMkhosi woMhlanga) celebrated by the Zulu King, Goodwill Zwelithin. As part of the ceremony, the young women dance bare-breasted for the king, each carrying a long reed, deposited later as they approach the King and is a cultural celebration that promotes respect for young women, and preserves the custom of keeping girls as virgins until marriage.
