African People And Culture -Wedding Ceremonies African People and culture Weddings. namibia The Himba people of namibiakidnap a bride before the ceremony and dress her in a leather marriage http://www.africaguide.com/culture/weddings.htm
Extractions: African weddings are a family affair and involve the combining of two lives, two families, and sometimes even two communities! There are many different wedding traditions in the African continent and no two are exactly alike. However, in all the communities the bride plays a very special role and is treated with respect because she is a link between the unborn and the ancestors. A bride might eventually bear a very powerful child, so she is treated with respect. In some areas of East Africa the grooms family would even move to the brides village and set up a whole new house there. There are many steps that take place before marriage starting at a very young age where training takes place in how to be a suitable partner. Girls will many times go to circumcision schools where women teach them what is involved in marriage, and in some ethnic groups even learn secret codes and languages so that they can communicate with other married women. In the Wolof tribe there is even a time where the elders of the village gather with the bride and give advice and gifts.

Stuart Hurlbut is traveling around Africa for a year and he was in Swaziland the last time I checked in on his trip. This week he's enjoying prawns and soaking up the tropical atmosphere in Mozambique. Stu reports from Maputo, the capital; Tofo, a backpackers paradise on the coast; Vilankulo where he sailed on a dhow for a few days; Beira, Quelimane and Ilha de Mocambique. Says Stu: Not only is Mozambique beautiful and the people welcoming, but it also has the added bonus that most of the world's tourists haven't made it here yet. A tropical paradise. I was catching a bus to Vilankulo, which is Mozambique's main tourist destination. Vilankulo, is a small town on the coast that is a good base for visiting the Bazaruto Archipelago Marine National Park. An area of unspoiled turquoise blue lagoons and corral reefs.

Extractions: University of Cologne The present series is the medium of publication and forum for the Collaborative Research Center Kultur- und Landschaftswandel im ariden Afrika Entwicklungsprozesse unter ökologischen Grenzbedingungen of the University of Cologne. This series is meant to fulfil a double task: On the one hand, it will document source materials on cultural and historical change in Southern Africa, and on the other hand it will provide a forum for the discussion and analysis of such sources. Other traditions will also be considered in this series: local traditions of material culture and arts, of ethnography and historiography. The editors feel that there is an urgent need to publish oral accounts of these matters in order not only to record the history of precolonial processes and events but also to preserve the biographical remembrances of colonisation and oppression. The main goal is set upon publishing primary sources, i.e. oral traditions and documents written in local languages, official documents and hand-written testimonies so far hidden in private and public archives. However, theoretically inspired analyses may also be included every now and then. Volume 23 (in preparation)

South Africa with Kruger NP being the oldest national park in Africa is revitalised and is now very popular with its race problems more or less a thing of the past. Swaziland and Zululand provide very interesting cultural hotspots. By working with local people we ensure more of the money you pay for your holiday stays in the local economy. Also some of the profits from your safari will go towards projects for the Maasai in Tanzania and Kenya or the Himba in Namibia. This will help to ensure that the local people can sustain their livelihood, traditional ways and culture, as well as give you a great holiday playground. The balance of the profits will go to our main core charities.

HIV/AIDS Source/Verification *Background information, government attitudes, country situation 1995: The Zimbabwe book fair debate was widely reported in the Namibian press. Two ministers joined the verbal attacks on homosexuals: "Homosexuality is like cancer or AIDS and everything should be done to stop its spread in Namibia" said Hadino Hishongwa, Deputy Minister for Lands, Resettlement and Rehabilitation. Finance Minister Helmut Angula warned that homosexuality might "lead to social disorder". "Homosexuality is an unnatural behavioural disorder which is alien to African culture". The Sister Namibia Collective, a feminist organisation and publication, responded vigorously to these attacks. (HRHSA) In early 1994, in Prime Ministers Question Time, the Prime Minister stated that lesbians and gays are protected ... "...article 10 in the Namibian constitution explicitly prohibits discrimination on the grounds of inter- alia sex and guarantees all persons equality before the law". (The Rainbow Project)

Extractions: There is no single Culture of South Africa . As South Africa is so ethnically diverse, it is not surprising that there are vast cultural differences as well. edit Because of the legacy of Apartheid segregation, many cultural differences correspond closely to the racial groups defined by Apartheid (Blacks, Whites, Coloureds, Asians). This may change as assimilation progresses, although currently ( ) many cultural differences between Apartheid-defined racial groups persist. edit The country's black majority still has a substantial number of rural inhabitants who lead largely impoverished and necessarily simple lives. However blacks are increasingly urbanised and westernised , and usually speak English or Afrikaans in addition to their native tongue, which may be one of nine Bantu languages with official status since . These include the Nguni languages
