What is Zulu Reed Dance

Reed Dance is an annual ceremony celebrated by the Zulu nation of South Africa in September. Many of Zulu maidens and visitors gather at the Zulu Royal residence, eNyokeni in kwaNongoma.

 The Zulu Reed dance is an educational experience and opportunity for young maidens to learn how to behave before the Zulu King 👑. This is done whilst delivering reed sticks, singing and dancing. Maidens learn and understand the songs while the young princesses lead the virgins. The maidens wear 'izigege' and izinculuba that shows their bottoms.

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.
