Who says the king displays these girls for choosing? these are from the Royal family; his own daughters infront! It is a culture. If you do not like other people's culture, do not rush into judging them as 'primitive'. The most primitive are the so called 'civilised' who go about practicing besiality and gays! Swazi people, one man's meat is another's poison. Preserve yors.

Ben you should be ashamed of yourself for the comments that you have made about primitive cultures. If you do not like certain cultures, that's your own right, but it does not give you the right look down on others. That is out of line.
Don't you think its primitive to put a ring on the left hand side of your spouse, not even knowing why you are doing it. Europeans, have been doing this for ages (that is primitive). Lastly, what corrupts public morals, are ill-bred individuals who their narrow, ignorant mindset like you (on this matter)

Ben
1. I wish you could detail to us how the reed dance spreads AIDS in Swaziland - in your so high and mighty knowledge
2. I think it is your sexual curiosity that has been heightened. - just because a kid runs around naked in the house does not mean he or she will become sexually active. It is the adult who looks at the kid and start getting stimulated.
3. Have you ever been to the reed dance
4. Do you have any idea what happens prior to this day that you are viewing. Did you know it is a 7 day ceremony - have any idea what happens in those days.
5. Do you know why the girls keep going?
6. Are you a Swazi
7. How would you feel if a man walked into your home and started telling you that the way you drink coffee is wrong?

If you answered "no" to most of the questions above - then I suggest you start doing a lot of research about the subject before you say things you can't back up.

I am a Swazi - not necessarily a fan of the reed dance but i simply hate ignorant people who claim to know it all.

To you Lomdumo.
Iam not a Jew, leave the Jews alone. Iam a pure black African but I dont believe in primitive cultures like yours in the modern era. Do you think that this cultural nonsense of yours is fullfilling its purpose any more? Do you know that it has corrupted public morals and has instead of preserving the chasitity of innocent young ones, increased their sexual curiosity? If you are educated, check with the world health statistics. Do you know that Swaziland has one of the highest H.I.V infection rates among the youths in the whole world? Just look at those naked adults like the Early man in stone age period. If the reed dance is to be internationally cherished, it should change with the environment otherwise it is presently corruption of public morals and state sponsored ponorgraphy that only idiots can cherish.

man these chiks are tight, how can i get one?? ARE THEY REALLY VIRGINS????? THEY SEEM TO HAVE HAD SEX ALREADY. they are beautifult hough
lomdumo 20-Mar-2008 05:12
Hey Ben what are you doing on this site? You seem very shallow and ignorant. I was born and bred and Swaziland and I can assure you that the king forces no one to attend the reed dance. The girls go there willingly because they like to contribute to their culture. You are an uncouth and uncultured scum of the earth. While I am all for freedom of speech I think there is a thin line between expressing oneself freely and infringing on other people. And I think you have done the latter. This is my culture Ben and please respect it. You are probably Jewish since you have a Jewish name and I don't go around making fun of your yalmuke or say the holocaust. I respect Jews and everything they have been through. I suggest you get an education and acquire some respect for the beautiful cultures of the world! Long live the King and the Reed Dance..We actually love the king very much in Swaziland!...Anyone who wants to learn more about the reed dance or Swaziland in particular hit me up @.......lomdumo@gmail.com

This is an example of babaric empty cultures. Why should these young women be made to expose their private parts to the public? King Mswati is one of the remaining greedy African idiots.

Watu nawatunze mila zoa.Mzungu mwenye akili chafu akiona hivi anaanza kuwaza machafu.Lakini sisi Waafrika huu ni utamaduni wetu,natuna waheshimu madada zetu.Ukipoteza utamaduni wako utaita huu ni washerati. Basi tunza utamaduni wako, na usiege hao wazungu wenye nia chafu.

Guest 18-Sep-2007 20:25
I suppose these are the members of the Royal family. Could I be allowed to be Mukuwasha{ Son-in-law} for the Royal? This girl on the front row left side is very beautyful. She deserves a good responsible husband. Zimbabwe

The Tanzanian 1st lady is a seasoned history teacher and really loves our AFRICAN cultures ....that is why she went to SWAZI. So? What is wrong with that? Long live the Swazi culture.. Long live Salma.
