Local Customs: Zulu Dancers

  • Pretoria - Dancing at the Flea Market

  • We had arrived on a Saturday morning, so the next day, the conference organizers organized an afternoon trip to a flea market on the outskirts of Joburg. While we were there, we heard the beating of drums and knew that it must be time for the Zulu dancing session. There was no charge for this, with an open-air amphitheatre available for all who wished to watch. It was quite a specatacle as four men and four women dancers outfitted in traditional Zulu garb put on quite a display. There was a great deal of leg stomping and the women shook their hips in a movement somewhere between an Egyptian belly-dancer and a South Pacific Islander! It was a great way to put in the afternoon!

     The beautiful jacaranda is quite popular in this part of the world too :~)

     Can't say visiting a prison comes to mind when I imagine Africa but fascination account of his getting shot by snipers and the Boers.

     The jacaranda trees look lovely, wish we had them here. Not the wire-topped fences though. A rather disturbing story of the prisoner, wish it had a happy ending.
