Warriors led by Crown Prince-Bulelani perform traditional dances at the annual King Mzilikazi commemoration held on September 9, 2023 at a ruins 22km outside Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Mzilikazi migrated from Zululand (South Africa) fleeing war and settled here in 1838. The Zimbabwe constitution recognises different cultures and traditions yet does not give legal recognition to a King as a traditional leader. In 2018 the state prohibited the coronation of Crown Prince – Bulelani Khumalo a decision which sparked several violent protests in Bulawayo. (Photo by Zinyange Auntony / AFP)
