Lori Waselchuk Description: Modjadji, South Africa April 8, 1998. Queen Modjadji V, or more commonly know as the Rain Queen, dozed off while sitting on the floor of her home during an interview. Queen Modjadji is the traditional leader of the Lobedu people of South Africa's Northern Province. Her reign in South Africa is famous because she and her predecessors are said to have been able to make rain. Queen Modjadji was feared by all the kings of Southern Africa. No one, not even King Shaka Zulu, would risk her wrath and her people were left alone. Photo by Lori Waselchuk/South Photographs Collections: South Photos Subcollections:

David Larsen Description: Heritage Day in South Africa Coincides with the Zulu celebration of Shaka Day in honour of the founding king of the Zulu nation. On this day the Zulu King, currently King Goodwill Zwelithini, the Zulu Royal Family, the chiefs and large crowds of Zulu subjects in traditional clothing gather to celebrate. There are speeches, but there is also much dancing and singing. It was during the speeches when all the press cameras were turned on the King and Zulu politicians of the likes of former vice president Jacob Zuma, that I managed to get close to a group of amakhosi (chieftains) to take individual portraits. It is a sign of disrespect to look an older man, and particularly an "inkosi" in the eye so I had to work carefully. I kept low and my subjects were fortunately gracious.
