PRINCESS SIKHANYISO GRACES SHISELWENI UMHLANGA

MBANGWENI – The Shiselweni Reed Dance Ceremony saw a different turn of events.

This is because two weeks ago at Ludzidzini Royal during the main day of the Reed Dance, where Princess Sikhanyiso was a no-show. However, she graced the Shiselweni event. The princess was spotted with Uzalo actress Gugu Gumede, who plays the character of MaMlambo. The princess was also with Miss Africa Globe 2019 Lucia Ochan. The princess, who is also the minister of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) and her guests were seen seated at the VIP section with Emakhosikati.

Radiant 

Clad in her colourful yellow emahiya, the princess looked radiant and showed much enthusiasm when the maidens portrayed their dance skills at the stadium. During the dancing of maidens at the arena in their different traditional attire, both the princess and actress were seen going to the stadium to appreciate the girls. Consequently, Princess Sibahle who led the maidens at Ludzidzini, was a no-show. Instead, Princess Sakhizwe took over and led the maidens triumphantly. When the time came for the princess to portray her dance skills in front of the throngs of maidens, she danced valiantly and braved the freezing cold.

Dancing to ‘giya mzalwane giya’ and ‘abamtsatse umtsakatsi aye ayikangeni,’ the princess danced for about 15 minutes while the maidens burst in song. The ceremony was closed victoriously when Princess Temaswati entered the arena accompanied by Princess Tiyandza. Meanwhile, Lutsango could not hide their excitement when the girls danced. The Lutsango flooded the arena and were seen carrying money and throwing oranges into the stadium. The delight went on until they were advised to refrain from constantly entering the stadium since they caused disturbance to the dancing maidens.  On another note, during the arrival of His Majesty King Mswati III in the VIP section, he shook hands with the dignitaries who had attended the ceremony. Among the people he exchanged pleasantries was Luis Leite, who was on Saturday seen fitting a white feather on Princess Tiyandza’s head.
