Saint Francis' Hospital, Katete, Zambia

Kulamba Festival

The Kulamba ceremony and festival is an annual gathering of Chewa speaking people from Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique, paying homage to the Paramount Chief - near his palace at Mkaika - near Katete. It is usually held in August, and is a “must” if you are at SFH at that time. The ceremony showcases Chewa dances - including the “Nyau” - a secretive dance linked to witchcraft. You can find more detailed information here.
