Celebration of First Fruit Ceremony
This ceremony is usually held amongst the township of Eshowe in February. Known as the “first fruits ceremony”, its practice involves the use of poisonous snakes by the local traditional healer (sangoma), who is called Khekhekhe.
The ceremony tells the real story of how Chief Dingiswayo i.e. Shaka Zulu’s mentor gained power over snakes as a young man. To prove that truly that is the case, Khekhekhe handles dangerous snakes and puts their heads in his mouth.
The driving force behind tourism to get foreigners to experience rural Zululand and African spirituality, Khekhekhe has 14 wives.
The ceremony which takes place on 23rd February every year is well attended by fellow Sangomas.
