The iNcwala or First Fruits Ceremony in 1970

Blowing reveille

An elder belonging to the “Emasotsha” traditional Swazi regiment blows a reveille to summon the warriors of his regiment. In the old days a conch shell was used for this. He carries a shield, a fighting stick and a battle axe and wears the “siketja”, a cloak made from horse tails.
