-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

Zimbabwe Customs.

Makishi dancers have intrigued and intimidated audiences for centuries. The makishi are shrouded in secrecy and it is taboo to ask who hides behind the mask.

The makishi are spirits that represent the ancestors and they command the utmost respect.

The makishi normally appear during the mukanda (circumcision ceremony), then return to their graves immediately afterwards.

Their appearance creates an eerie but fascinating atmosphere.

The mukanda takes place during the dry season from May to October and lasts between three to five months. The mukanda is a rite of passage for boys entering manhood.
