Description

Bayangena! Thousands of Imbali (maidens) from across the Kingdom of Eswatini! Clad in their colourful emahiya and ligcebesha, different groups journeyed to cut reeds and have now arrived at the Royal Village at Ludzidzini to present their reeds before the Queen Mother, Ndlovukazi. At the royal arena, each Lutsango (group) offers their own ingoma (song) and umtsimba (dance) - a proud display of purity, unity, and Swati culture preserved from our ancestors. Long live the Queen Mother! Waka Ngwane! Greetings to the Kingdom of Eswatini. #AfricanTradition #Umhlanga2026 #EswatiniCulture #UmlangaReedDance #KingdomOfEswatini #SwatiTradition
