In 1999 I visited Khekhekhe with Graham, to
negotiate a price for National Geographic to do a piece on him. I wrote up that
encounter at the time. Khekhekhe held a ceremony on the 23rd of Feb every
year - which he called the First Fruits ceremony. It seemed really to be a time
for the old Mthethwa Sangomas to get together, Khekhekhe to show his prowess
with snakes, and some beasts to die for the table.

observed.
