Swahili & Zulu Reed dance
Umhlanga, or Reed Dance ceremony, is an annual Swazi and Zulu event. In Swaziland, tens of thousands of unmarried and childless Swazi girls and women travel from the various chiefdoms to the Ludzidzini Royal Village to participate in the eight-day event. One of them will be chosen as kings new wife (as if lucky bastard don't have enough of them). But hey, it's tradition.
