Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source is concerned with defining and clarifying the
usage of seven concepts related to Zulu ceremonial practices. It is the author's contention
that an understanding of such concepts will show how seemingly disparate ceremonial
behaviors such as puberty rites, fertility ceremonies, rituals concerned with driving off
epidemics and pests, and curing rituals are connected by a few underlying principles. Krige
argues that all these ceremonial behaviors are concerned with securing health and fertility
(for humans, flora and fauna in their environment) through the singing of songs and the
performance of acts to drive out evil.
