Reed dance festival to another palace by Zulu King Misuzulu moves

King Misuzulu has announced that the annual Reed Dance ceremony is moving from the Enyokeni Palace to Mashobeni Palace. Image: archive Maidens gather at the Enyokeni Royal Palace in Nongoma, KwaZulu-Natal for the 2022 Reed Dance. Image: Nqobile Mbonambi/African News Agency(ANA) COSTS Amazulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini's decision to move the annual Reed Dance ceremony from Enyokeni Palace to a new palace, Mashobeni, could pit him against the cash-strapped KwaZulu-Natal provincial government. In a surprise move, the king at the weekend announced that this year's event will be held at Mashobeni Palace in Pongola in the north-east of the province. The palace which is a few kilometres from KwaKhangelamankengana Palace, is the home of the king's new wife, Princess Sihle Mdhluli from the Mpumalanga province. Video Player is loading.

Next Stay Close ✕ The provincial government through the Public Works department has just completed a massive amphitheatre at Enyokeni which cost the taxpayers R140 million. It was expected to be used for this year's event. The dome-designed structure was requested by Misuzulu's father, the late King Goodwill Zwelithini for the purpose of the reed dance and has facilities which do not require the hiring of VIP marquees or toilets. The structure has a seating capacity for 2,000 people. The government is expected to bear extra cost of a makeshift pavilion seating at Mashobeni, where maidens and the public would gather for the king's address after the presentation of reeds by the maidens. Defending his decision, the king said he was honouring Queen Nandi and King Shaka who had a palace in the area. The king said by building the palace there, he was reviving Shaka's palace as well as his legacy. 'I am aware that many are used to this event being held in eNyokeni. Today, I wish to announce that the event will now be held here at Mashobeni palace on 12 to 14 September. We are sorry to those who wanted the event to continue at Enyokeni palace. My decision is in line with the fact that Queen Nandi and King Shaka lived here so it's important to revive his palace,' said Misuzulu. In a short statement, the KZN Public Works and Infrastructure MEC, Martin Meyer, said he had noted the announcement made by the king to move the ceremony to Mashobeni royal residence, however, he said his department was just an implementing agent as per the mandate given on each project by a client department. 'In this matter the client was the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture along with the Office of The Premier. Therefore any queries would be best placed before those offices.' Arts and Culture spokesperson Ntando Mnyando said his department could not say anything further about the decision as its' duty is to organise events wherever the king and royal family want them to be. Attempts to get comment from the Premier's spokesperson Bongani Gina were unsuccessful.

Kourtney Kardashian-Baker shuts down pregnancy speculation with a side of sass

Kourtney Kardashian-Baker has once again shut down pregnancy rumours as fans continue to make speculations about her body. Image: Instagram American reality TV star, Kourtney Kardashian-Baker, has once again shut down rumours that she has a bun in the oven. The Poosh founder shared a carousel of images on Instagram last Friday, giving fans a glimpse of her holiday-filled life with her family, when a fan commented that there are rumours that Kardashian-Baker is expecting another child. The fan wrote: 'RUMOURS HAVE IT THAT YOU'RE PREGNANT KOURTNEY.' The 46-year-old clapped back and replied, 'Eating pancakes and jumping off cliffs,' hinting that she would not be doing such strenuous activities if she were indeed pregnant, because that could harm her and the baby.

Next Stay Close ✕ This is not the first time that the media personality was rumoured to be expecting her second child with Travis Baker. Just last month, the mother of four was rumoured to be pregnant after she shared pictures from her holiday in Italy and included a picture of her in a bikini, which prompted fans to comment on her body, saying that she is expecting again. The Lemme co-founder replied: 'Or breastfeeding, eating gelato, focaccia, pasta, not working out and living my best damn life, baby!' 'The Kardashians" star and her husband welcomed Rocky, their first child together, in November 2023. She also has three older children with her ex, Scott Disick: sons Mason, 15, Reign, 10, and daughter Penelope, 13. Kardashian-Baker is by far the only celebrity to have been open about her postpartum body and not conforming to the 'snap-back' culture that has gained popularity among celebrity moms and has also created certain notions and expectations for new moms. In 2024, the reality TV star penned a heart-warming letter to all the moms out there about the pressures of bouncing back after pregnancy. She wrote: 'Dear new mommies, your body is beautiful at all stages. During pregnancy, as we are glowing and growing, postpartum, as we are healing and shrinking, and then that period I find the hardest as our bodies are still adjusting.'

Next Stay Close ✕ The Miss SA organisation also wished Le Roux a first anniversary of her crowning and wrote: 'Happy Crowniversary @mialeroux.' This was an exciting time in SA as this moment became global history because Le Roux became the first ever deaf beauty queen, and many people with disabilities felt represented for the first time in the beauty pageant industry. Le Roux continues to make history because she is now the second-longest reigning Miss SA after Marilyn Ramo, who held the title for 16 months in 2012. In addition, if the Miss SA pageant does make any announcements regarding this year's pageant until early 2026, Le Roux will actually become the longest reigning beauty queen in history, surpassing Ramos. While this is a celebratory moment for Miss SA and Le Roux, this is also a bittersweet moment for netizens who were looking forward to this year's pageant. The Miss SA organisation has made significant changes in the beauty pageant this year and also revealed in July that the pageant has been pushed back to a later date. This announcement was met with criticism from fans as they expressed their disappointment over the lack of communication from the organisation and the uncertainty surrounding this year's pageant.
