Extractions: Part 6 of 8. UPI Medical Correspondent Steve Mitchell recently toured rural health facilities and wildlife reserves in South Africa and filed this report. MBOTYI, South Africa (UPI) The introduction of democracy to South Africa 10 years ago has brought about much-needed progress and improvement, but this same progress also might threaten certain cultural customs, such as the traditional healers that play a significant role in the lifestyles of the indigenous people. These "medicine men," known as sangomas, are found in many tribes in South Africa, including the Pondos and Xhosas. Just as with traditional healers found in other cultures, the sangomas use native herbs, roots and tree bark to make medicinal concoctions for everything from headaches to AIDS. They still are active in modern day villages, but as the government builds schools in these rural areas and more children receive a Western education, the sangomas no longer may be used and ultimately may fall by the wayside. "The young people, they know nothing of sangomas," Zukile Khambi, an independent tour guide and a Xhosa (pronounced KO-sa) living in East London, told United Press International.

The doctor made a plaster cast of the woman's corpse before he cut out her brains and genitals and preserved them in laboratory bottles. Ten years ago these commodities were still on display at the Musee de l'Homme in Paris macabre icons of those "little people" who suffered the worst forms of ethnocide anywhere in the colonial period and who are today largely forgotten, even though their descendants fill the ranks of South Africa's rainbow nation. Now a local researcher is spearheading a movement to return Baartman's remains so that the woman can be given the dignity that she was denied in her lifetime. The operation, dubbed "Bring Back the Hottentot Venus", is also designed to revive a popular memory of the aboriginal people who played a major role in shaping South Africa's past and present.

Extractions: Go straight to the dictionary Introduction South African slang is a crazy mixture of languages and cultures. There are influences from the Cape Malay people, the Afrikaners and indigenous people, notably the Xhosa, Zulu and Sotho people. There are 11 official languages. European and Eastern settlers have arrived on our shores over the years since the 1820s, when the first wave of English settlers arrived. People from Holland, France, Java, India, China, Scotland, Ireland, Germany and Italy have helped to create a vast, linguistically disparate, melting pot. Some of the more unsavoury ones do not necessarily represent the South African surfing culture. Some words are outdated. With the advent of the new South Africa, a few have fallen into disuse.However, they are so colourful and weird, we have retained them. Don't kill the messenger! Have we left any out?

Extractions: The Pre-colonial Origin of Soccer's Popularity in Modern South Africa INTRODUCTION HISTORIOGRAPHICAL PROBLEMS IN SOUTH AFRICAN SPORT STUDIES STICK FIGHTING TRADITIONS IN RURAL AREAS There was little time for leisure during the agricultural season between planting and harvesting. The leisure activities that did take place occurred in the late afternoon and evening hours, when men played a local version of the mancala board game, drank beer, or smoked dagga. Women had less leisure time than men, but, nevertheless, liked to participate in story-telling, singing, and dancing. When more time became available in the (dry) winter months men organized hunting parties, activities aimed at fulfilling both subsistence and leisure objectives. In a society where leisure was not seen as shameful, and time corresponded to the rhythm of the seasons and lunar cycles, the period between the harvest and the new planting season, presented rural South Africans, especially younger ones, with time to dedicate to leisure and sport. In a book by the uninspired title of The Essential Kafir , published in 1904, Dudley Kidd observed in Zululand that "[t]he boys have great fencing matches with sticks, every boy using two sticks, one to parry with and one for thrusting. They manage the sticks with wonderful agility, and it is a practice which is useful to them through life." Though most sources discuss boys' stick fighting, it appears that girls and male adults also fought with sticks.

Extractions: By Alphabet : Encyclopedia A-Z S Related Category: South African Political Geography The population of South Africa is 75% black (African) and 13% white (European), with about 9% people of mixed white, Malay, and black descent (formerly called "Coloured"), and 3% of Asian (mostly Indian) background. Although these ethnic divisions were rigidly enforced under the policy of apartheid South Africa has 11 official languages, nine of which are indigenous : Zulu, Xhosa, Tswana, Sotho, Swazi, Venda, Ndebele, Pedi, and Tsonga. Many blacks also speak Afrikaans (the first language of about 60% of the whites and the majority of those of mixed race) or English (the first language of most of the rest of the nonblacks). A lingua franca called Fanagalo developed in the mining areas, but it is not widely used today. About 68% of the population is Christian; major groups include the Dutch Reformed, Anglican, Methodist, Roman Catholic, and Zionist churches. Over 28% of the population follows traditional African religions, and there are small minorities of Muslims, Hindus, and Jews. Sections in this article:

Extractions: In a society still suffering from deep divisions along racial, social, and economic lines, white and black, rich and poor, private and public sector institutions have joined forces under the banner of the Ukuvuka Operation Firestop program. The key objective of the Ukuvuka campaign is to combat the alien plant invasion that has made the Cape's wildfires progressively more dangerous. South Africa's Table Mountain system is home to one of the world's most diverse floral systems. The January 2000 fire burned more than 23,500 acres (8,370 hectares) of mountain parkland. It could have been worse; a change in wind direction would have threatened the quaint coastal towns and the Cape Floral Kingdom that make the region an international tourist destination. The floral park, one of six in the world, is home to 8,600 plant species, of which about 70 percent can be found only in South Africa. "It could have been the most costly fire in the history of the country," said Guy Preston, chairman of the Ukuvuka steering committee.

http://www.backpackeressentials.com.au/dec98_feb99/articles/africa.htm

Extractions: I'm walking along the grubby streets of Hillbrow - the most notorious suburb of Johannesburg. Suddenly there is an ear-piercing bang. I jump out of my skin and squeal. I expect to feel warm blood oozing down my leg. But no, no blood, no pain: I've simply stepped on an ice-block wrapper and it's popped! People around me laugh and I laugh with them, climb down the lamppost, compose myself and carry on walking through the sunny streets crowded with hawkers selling colourful pyramids of fruit on plastic plates. I feel pleased to be alive in this buzzy place. This is South Africa - land of anecdotes, shootings, car-hijackings and muggings. Yet during the four weeks I was there I didn't experience, see or even take part in any crime, despite staying in Hillbrow for several nights. As Dale, manager of the Cloudbreak Backpackers hostel in Cape Town says, "People mustn't be too paranoid, not too overcome with fear. Just ask hostel staff for advice. The only incident we've heard of in the last few months is a backpacker who had his camera stolen." But don't get me wrong, it's not so gentle that it's boring. A journey in a minibus 'taxi' (variously referred to as 'combi' or 'black' taxi) with the hubbub of laughter and voices interspersed with people popping bubble-wrap will prove that.

http://www.gospelcom.net/dacb/stories/southafrica/philip_john.html

Extractions: Reverend John Philip was a highly controversial Scottish missionary who championed the rights of Africans and was a strong advocate of direct British rule. A self-assured man who started working at he age of 11, Philip had a stern moral sense. In 1794 he quit a good job in protest against child labor and eventually became a Congregational minister in Aberdeen. Philip took an active interest in the London Missionary Society. (LMS), which invited him to visit South Africa in 1818 for an investigation of mission conditions. He found the mission stations neglected and the local peoples oppressed by the settlers. His report to the LMS condemned the Society in the harshest terms. The LMS responded by establishing a central mission house in Cape Town and appointing Philip superintendent for South Africa. Philip returned to his new post in 1822 and built a chapel in Cape Town, from which he traveled throughout the colony. Because the LMS missionaries were often the only Europeans in outlying areas, Philip's access to information on current conditions made him influential in Cape Town. His earlier criticisms did not abate; if anything, they became stronger. His censures resulted in considerable improvement in the legal status of the Khoikhoi, the original indigenous people, after he published Researches in South Africa (1828) to plead their cause. He used this tract to lobby the British Parliament into passing an act supporting his recommendations. When he returned to Cape Town, he encountered a hostile reception. A prominent settler whom he criticized sued him for libel, and Philip lost. Friends paid his fine, but even they found him to be shrill in his criticisms. He clashed with Robert MOFFAT, who thought Philip vain and too sure of the benefits of mission stations for British trade.

In addition to 11 official languages and several ethnic groups, the country even has 20,00 Konkani-speaking people A safari to see the Big Five - lion, rhino, buffalo, leopard and elephant - roaming free in their natural habitat is one of South Africa's greatest attractions. There are several such parks in that country, but Mala Mala is reputed to be the top safari in the world. It is an exciting experience in the midst of the dense African bush. Quite accidentally we caught sight of a wild bull - at least a bull-like animal - casually piercing one of its horns in the trunk of a high and apparently dried tree. Water gushed out from the trunk of the tree and the bull quenched its thirst in royal style. The sound of gushing water attracted a variety of thirsty animals and birds who flocked around the tree to have their share of water. Was it a miracle? My driver, a gentleman of Indian origin, told me that the name of the tree was Baobab. It is a most unusual deciduous tree of Africa. The interior of its trunk, which may develop up to 9 metres in diameter, and the lower branches are soft and spongy and can store large quantity of water. They are leafless for most of the year, to reduce water loss. It is a slow growing tree reaching up to 18 metres in height and lives for thousands of years.
