Culture | Celebrating 40 years of Umkhosi Womhlanga, Reed Dance

The stage is set for the colourful Reed Dance this weekend. This cultural practice mirrors a proud moment where young maidens voluntarily choose to display their commitment to sexual abstinence. This year's celebration includes a multi-layered programme that will delve deep into equipping young girls with a buffet of skills and career guidance with the aim to arm them with necessary tools to deal with social ills affecting the youth. We now talk to Professor Sihawukele Ngubane, Academic and cultural expert from the University of Kwazulu-Natal. For more news, visit sabcnews.com and #SABCNews on all Social Media platforms.
