The Zulu People of South Africa
Caught between tradition and modernity, meet the "Children of the Heaven"
A few days back, MIG TV landed in Durban, South Africa. In the coastal province of Kwazulu-Natal, we discovered the history and traditions of the Zulu people, the largest ethnic group in the rainbow country, that is home to a melting pot of cultures from Africa, Europe and India.
With the modernisation, the Zulu people have slowly abandoned their traditional habitats and attires (that they only wear during special occasions) but they still follow a few traditions, based on the nature and their belief of the ancestral spirits.
