African Traditional Wedding


This weekend I went to a traditional African wedding in the village of Kwamhlanga in Mpumalanga about an hour south of Joburg. What a celebration! The whole village participated in the singing, dancing, praying to the ancestors, eating, drinking, more dancing and late night partying. So much joy and life! I feel really privileged for having gotten the opportunity to take part in such a great event. Let me just say: WOW!
