Warning - the following is rated PG-13:

Monday was a national holiday in Swaziland. Everything is shut down for the annual "Reed" dance - or the King picking his new virgin bride.

As you are all enjoying your cookouts and family...

The King of Swaziland had thousands of little girls dancing before him so he can pick his next girlfriend!

He has 14 wives and countless girlfriends, but is is national law that you have to bring your pre-teen and teenage daughters to this "Dance."




As more and more dancers passed, it got noisier, and it got dustier...

Royal family (red feathers)

What a sight to see, and we need to understand culture, but your heart breaks watching the spirit of stupor at work...

The king's entourage then appeared, proudly waving their knobkerries in the air

(don't ask if you don't know).

Standing proudly to attention, but better known for shouting at passers-by in Mbabane.

This is how the BlackTribe celebrated their Labor day this year... what a ride!
