Angeline Sibongile Ngcobo - Indigenous Love

Title: Angeline Sibongile Ngcobo - Indigenous Love
Description: I captured the photo in my family home in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It was a family ceremony where the cow was slaughtered, symbolising the cultural identity of the Zulu community. The family and community members sing songs to thank ancestors and seek blessings. The meat was allocated hierarchically, and each part was distributed using Zulu cultural norms. For instance, the image of the indigenous food was for young boys to share and connect. Therefore, the meat from the ceremony was highly valued for its nutritional, spiritual, and cultural significance, which demonstrates trust and love for our ancestors.
