Sibhaca dancing, Swaziland 1973

ozoutback.com.au
Sibhaca dance competitons are very popular in Swaziland. These scenes were recorded with an old 8 mm camera (without sound) at the Swazi Show in Manzini on 5 September 1973; sound was added later from tape recordings I had made in previous years. For photos of sibhaca dancing: ozoutback.com.a....

I’m 74 years it’s December 2021. This is how I remember Sibaca, the drum beat, dancing, costumes but most of all “the falling down”. We would clap hands and laugh away. True entertainment. Thank you❤️

Ludo. I lived in Mbabane SD from 1975 to 1980 and remember these dances very well. I had super 8mm sound movies of Sibhaca dances but lost all of my films in a flood. It was great to see this this. Thank you very much for capturing and posting. It brings back many great memories of my time in Swaziland.

Thanks, Michael! These are also Super 8 movies, but taken with a camera without sound. The sound I later put in from tape recordings I had made earlier.

I’m 74years it’s December 2021. This is how I remember Sibaca, the drum beat, the dancing, most of all “the falling down” at the end. The crowd would clap hands and laugh heartily. Entertainment at its best. Thank you ❤️
