Why Reed Dance is important for Qwabe Twins
The singers previously spoke to Sunday World about why it is important to preserve their cultural practices.
Speaking to the news publication, the stars revealed that they are looking to motivate other young women on how to remain pure. They emphasised that they are travelling stars, so they are setting an example.
“We are motivating and showing women our age that you can be a known musician but also preserve your purity. The reed dance is very important, and it has played a pivotal role in our lives.”
This dance sees young and old maidens dressed in traditional Zulu attire, getting tested for their purity. It is usually older women who carry out these tests.
Should they pass the testing stage, they are then required to hold reeds in an upright position and present them to the Zulu King.
King Misuzulu addressed the scores of girls and issued a warning to men who approach them. “I can’t marry someone who is the same age as my children,” he stated.
He also encouraged the young women to inform him if they encounter men who want to marry them.
