The iNcwala or First Fruits Ceremony in 1970

After killing the bull

Warriors marching near the Royal “sibaya”, cattle byre enclosure in Lobamba after the ritual “killing of the bull” in which the men catch a bull with their bare hands, drag it into the “sibaya” where it is ritually killed. They carry a shield, sticks and spears and wear the “siketja”, a cloak made from horse tails.
