i have an alternative festival, but still about the zulu

well having done enough research about the Zulu nation in south Africa, i learn;t that they also have a reed dance festival, you really want to know how lucky kings there are,, this is how it commences,
Thousands of Zulu virgins meet at the Enyokeni Zulu Royal Palace in September every year to celebrate the Reed Dance Festival (umkhosi woMhlanga). The Reed dance is a celebration that promotes purity among virgin girls and respect for young women. The festival is one of the most honorably celebrated annual festivals on the Zulu calender . During the Reed dance the virgin girls collect the reeds from the river and bring them to the palace for the royal king for him to inspect. It was during this festival that the Zulu King chose his youngest wife from the many young, fresh and virgin girls...AWESOME !! ISN'T IT??? wish i was a king there!!!
