Zulu king tells ritual dancing virgins to cover
up 'because Europeans
keep
taking pictures of their naked buttocks.
Teenage girls in an African tribe have been ordered to
cover up during ritual dances because 'perverted' Europeans keep taking
pictures of their bare bottoms. Young virgins have been performing the
Zulu Royal Reed Dance for centuries wearing nothing but beads and short fringed
skirts.
But now King Goodwill Zwelithini has told the girls to
put on sarongs or traditional undergarments called umuntsha to cover their
buttocks. He said the event was 'not for looking at maidens'
bottoms.'
The king added: 'There are times when maidens have to
sing and dance and we end up seeing certain private body parts that we're not
supposed to see.' Locals are said to be fed up of 'lascivious' male
tourists who 'act like paparazzi' and 'zoom in on bare flesh with their
high-tech cameras.'
