The Reed Dance Ceremony in The Kingdom of Eswatini
The Reed Dance Ceremony (Umhlanga) is where thousands of Swazi maidens gather reeds, wear traditional clothes, journey to Royal Kraal and perform to pay tribute to the Queen Mother. The only Swazi maidens who are allowed to join the ceremony are those who are childless and unwed.
The ceremony has three main goals. First, uphold a woman’s virginity. It’s a way to encourage Swazi Maidens to abstain from any intimate relations until they are in the rightful age for marriage. Second is to honor the Queen Mother. The gathered and cut reeds by the Swazi Maidens will be brought to the Royal Residence used as windbreakers. Lastly, this ceremony becomes an opportunity for these women to form stronger bonds and unity amongst them.
This video is part of my collection of videos from the Ceremony.

Reed Dance Ceremony in the Kingdom of Swaziland.
The Reed Dance Ceremony is a cultural event in the Kingdom of Swaziland that takes place late August or early September of the year. Maidens from every area of the kingdom participate to honor and pay homage to the Queen mother. The day of the Reed Dance begins with bathing and grooming prior to appearing before the king and queen mother. The girls wear short beaded skirts decorated with fringes and buttons, together with anklets, bracelets and necklaces and colorful sashes. The Royal Family Princesses wear red feathers in their hair and lead the maidens to perform before their majesties. The Reed Dance attracts young maidens and young men from across the Kingdom and fosters the unity of the clans which characterizes modern Swaziland and devoid of tribal differences.

Swazi Girls Beautifully Singing Last Songs with Nostalgia (Umhangla Reed Dance 2019 - Swaziland)
Umhangla Reed Dance 2019 - Day 8. Umhangla is a special annual nationwide event for girls in Eswatini or Swaziland (no not Switzerland...Swaziland is a small kingdom in Africa, bordering Mozambique and South Africa). It lasts for 7 days but only the last day (the dance day) is for the public. As the only foreign 'young maiden', I was lucky to be a participant for all 7 days, from camping to parading to collecting reeds to dancing! Follow my travels @
