Warriors in high spirits as they tackle raging bull

LUDZIDZINI- The rain that fell over some parts of the country yesterday did not dampen the spirits of warriors at the Ludzidzini Royal Residence.

They were preparing to assemble at the royal kraal for the killing of the sacred bull.
Spirits were high as the water party regiment sang songs while going into the royal kraal.

Trumpets were blown, then regiments made their way into the kraal to prepare for the task.
A few minutes after the warriors entered the royal kraal they were dispersed in order to remove the emahiya (traditional cloth) and ligcebesha or simohlwana (traditional necklaces).

During such events, warriors enter the royal kraal clad in only the loin skin.
The warriors were jubilant as they returned to the kraal.
This was the first part of the killing of the bull and the second one was expected to be carried out at around 2am today.
The killing of the bull will be followed by dancing of the main Incwala today.
Tomorrow is a public holiday in honour of this annual event.
