It was reported maidens started crying and rolling on the ground on Friday and Saturday.

King Goodwill Zwelithini had reportedly blamed "evil spirits" for the erratic behaviour of the young women. 

Prince Zulu said that this has never occurred before at the Reed Dance. 

Aside from the incident, the Zulu Royal Household says it was satisfied with the hosting of the Reed Dance.
