The uMhlanga or Reed Dance

Girls cutting reeds

Girls cutting bundles of reeds in Mdutshane, near Malkerns, about 10 kilometres south of Lobamba for the “uMhlanga” or Reed Dance Ceremony. The reed will be used to repair fences in the kraal of the “Ndlovukati”, the Queen Mother in Lobamba, the Royal capital.
