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:

Harrison Tuntu Description: . Ncââ¬â¢wala Ceremony, Zambia is mostly cerebrated by the Ngoni tribe. The Ngoni people reside in the eastern edge of Zambia which is close to Chipata. The Ncââ¬â¢wala is celebrated at the end of February every year. The Ncââ¬â¢wala ceremony involves Paramount Chief Mpezeni dressed in leopard skin re-enacting an old tradition which has roots in early Zulu culture. The Chief must taste the first fruits of the land, (usually maize, sugarcane and pumpkin). The King must then experience a ritual rebirth which involves home confinement for a period of time before the blessing of the fruits. A specially chosen black bull is speared in front of the crowds and the chief drinks the bullââ¬â¢s blood. The members of the Ngoni tribe then rush at the dead animal and tear at the carcass and cut out chunks of the meat. Collections: Independent Contributors 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.
