About the rite
Among Tonga communities in Zambia’s Magoye area, girls learn from senior women before completing Nkolola with a celebration of their growth into womanhood. Songs, teaching, and ceremonial objects carry the lessons into the public completion.
University research published in 2016 interviewed former initiates and instructors and documented changing contemporary forms.
