Umhlanga [um̩ɬaːŋɡa], or Reed Dance ceremony, is an annual Swazi and Zulu event. ... In South Africa, the reed dance was introduced in 1991 by Goodwill Zwelithini, the current King of the Zulus. The dance in South Africa takes place in Nongoma, a royal kraal of the Zulu king. The aim of uMkhosi Womhlanga is to celebrate the maiden’s purity, showcasing that they are proud of their bodies while they are being prepared for womanhood, at the same time giving the King and the nation a spectacle to marvel at, and motivate the young maidens through words and joyfulness.
