This short clip captures a joyful Zulu UMemulo procession for Thembalethu, a coming-of-age ceremony. A group of young women in traditional yellow pleated skirts and beaded attire march along a rural road, shaking feather pompoms in rhythmic steps. Their breasts are visible above minimal chest coverings, set against grassy hills and distant mountains.
