Even in the post-apartheid era, race permeates South Africa's social discourse.
Here, Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini greets the first white girls to dance in the traditional ceremony that marks his selection of a wife. Relations between Zulus and whites have not always been so friendly. Well into the 19th century, wars were waged between European colonists and the Zulus, a nation of powerful warriors who built one of southern Africa's greatest empires. That struggle continued into the modern era when the Inkatha National Cultural Liberation Movement, founded by Zulu chief Dr. Mangosuthu Buthelezi, acted as one of South Africa's chief anti-apartheid movements.
