About the rite
Among the Luvale and related communities in Zambia, boys of about eight to twelve receive instruction together during Mukanda. The Makishi masquerade accompanies their return to the community. Related traditions are found in Angola and Zimbabwe.
Zambia’s tourism ministry published a schedule for a related event in 2025.
