Come along with us to experience Khekhekhe's annual ceremony - something you won't see anywhere else on this earth...
On the 23rd February each year the annual First Fruits ceremony (which was originally held by earlier Zulu Kings) Khekheke performs this ceremony at his homestead overlooking the Tugela river.
He has messages to impart and history to tell about his ancestor, King Diniswayo, and how he acquired his power of snakes as a young man. The ceremony involves many sangomas who he leads, holding a few venomous snakes in his bare hands - he puts the snakes heads in his mouth demonstaring his power over evil.
Much dancing and singing takes place with the younger generation joining with more modern songs and dance. This is one of the very rare traditional ceremonies that still takes place today.
