Fear of Lightning
The Zulu people have an interesting fear of Lightning. According to tales, anyone, animal or tree struck by this earthly disaster is considered unlucky and that incident is tagged as the wishes of the spirit.
A natural phenomenon that occurs during the summer months, persons killed by lightning would not have a burial ceremony. Due to this, the Zulu people protect themselves and cattle with herms against lightning.
