Zulu Impi

Zulu Impi

La lutte zoulou (Zoulou Impi, ou Canne zoulou) est un ancien sport de combat sud-africain pratiqué avec des bâtons. Ce sport n'est plus aussi courant qu'il ne l'a été pendant l'âge d'or de l'Empire Zoulou, et ses adeptes luttent pour valider son existence en ces jours de tourmente politique, d'acculturation et de modernisation. Néanmoins, le Zulu Impi semble aider à soutenir le système social traditionnel en perpétuant les modes socialement acceptés des comportements et idéaux masculins. Le Zoulou Impi, en tant que tradition culturelle, continue donc à remplir sa fonction didactique traditionnelle dans certaines communautés zoulous.
