The « Umemulo » tradition of th Zulus of SoutH Africa in times past was a metric used in celebrating young maidens.The traditionw was held for young girls who has stayed chaste before they were married.
Though the rite is still in practice, th standards in modern times has Been more flexible to allow for girls who are not even « Virgins » to participate in the ceremony to prevent them from being stigmatized. »Umemulo » is th plateform that parents used in showing appreciation to daughters for adhering to their teachings and preserving their pride as well as that of the family and the community!
In other words, a people without the knowledge of their Culture, Past History and Origin is like a Tree without Roots!
Read between the lines indeed!
