South Africa

Sidlangaloludzala Cultural Group

Since 2008, the Sidlangaloludzala Cultural Group has been training young people to pass on the traditions of their ancestors. Its 26 members are all singers and dancers. Their repertoire includes energetic dances such as Zulu and Sizingili, where the men wear animal skins. Other dances represent the high points of life, such as the wedding ceremony. Situated at the southern tip of the African continent, South Africa has often been coveted for its many resources. It is also known as the "rainbow nation" because of the different populations that live there.
