“This Is So Beautiful”: UWC Shembe Graduates Get Tongues Wagging, SA Digs the Spiritual Vibes

• A large group of Shembe graduates at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) had South Africans impressed by their performance
• The people gathered into formation for the occasion and moved about in a synchronised fashion while holding a shield and a stick
• People across Mzansi had a lot to say about the sight, with many showing love for the religious group

A crew of Shembe graduates gathered at UWC in matching outfits, spears, and sticks and conducted a performance based on their religion in front of everyone. The people all moved together in unison, with one man in the middle leading the charge. Two of the people have a whistle and they all stomp and sway in unison.

Tradition in full display

TikTokker zamaa.m shared the clip and seems to have no connection with the video. Several commenters loved the clip and shared their thoughts on the outfits. The video shows them slowly moving towards another direction with several people following the pack.

A land of immense diversity

South Africa isn't just home to people from all over the world, many religious beliefs thrive in the country. Places like Johannesburg are a melting pot of different beliefs and ways of life. The Northern parts of the city are home to a Jewish community, while the South is home to a large and well-connected Indian/ Muslim community. What's great is that they all live in harmony.

The church of Shembe isn't the most popular in South Africa but the belief is practiced by many. Commenters across the country gave their thoughts about it and shared some positivity, while others were sceptical of their practices.

"Shembe church must advance the content of their spirituality, instead of only being known for cultural dances and clothing. What has their leader said in the last 5 years that's notable?"
