His Majesty King Mswati III has officially commissioned the Lutsango for the opening chapter of the 2026 Buganu Ceremony. This weekend, the Buhleni Royal Residence transforms into a vibrant sanctuary of heritage, rhythm, and sisterhood.

On Saturday, thousands are expected to gather as a kaleidoscopic display of culture unfolds, with participants dancing before Their Majesties in tribute to Swati tradition.
Sunday will bring the ceremony to a close as the Lutsango departs, returning to their communities with blessings associated with the harvest season.
