As amaNguni there are things that make us different from other people that we share this grate land (SA) with. When a Nguni child is born they partake in there first graduation ‘Imbeleko’ and they grow older they go threw another to welcome them into the adult world ‘Reed dance’.
The sad part about sharing this land with other races is that they will never stop hating the fact that unlike them we don’t say we are African because we are under the same sun but because we have belonging and culture. The reason why our four fathers mad these traditions is because as an African parent it’s hard to talk to your children about thing like sex. These are not just traditional rituals but schools ‘University of life’ that teach a women that abstinence is the key and that if you cant say no to a man you cant call your
self a Nguni women.
I am not saying that our culture is 100% but know that if we stand up to the ‘White owned’ Media houses who are too western to have ubuntu Then our generation will be as sad as they are. Our next generations will be shadows Hilokhu okutiwa histunzi (people who have no culture or belonging ‘basteds or Kafeers’)
congra 2 Isilo for keeping the zulu dance even though there somany people who are totally against this. viva reed dance viva.
