Umemulo

Image
Umemulo is a traditional ceremony that commemorates the coming of age of a Zulu lady. It is a very meaningful ceremony as it marks the transition of a Zulu girl into womanhood, signifying that she is now ready for marriage. It is a  reward from the girl’s parents for "good behavior" or remaining a virgin. The Umemulo ceremony is carried out when a girl hits 21 years and signified by drastic changes as per the Zulu traditions and culture. This is done after Umkhosi Womhlanga.  The rituals involve slaughtering a cow  and the traditional Zulu dance Ukusina involving a spear and guests gifting the young female with money and there blessings.  Umemulo is not just a birthday party; it is a process that involves years of planning from the moment a girl hits puberty at around 13 or 14 years of age. Once a girl reaches 21 and having fulfilled her Zulu tradition obligation she can now prepare for her umemulo.
