Have to say, most Africans don't seem to talk about their traditions on board. Its a shame.

Bre Rabbit & Anansi are two I grew up with.

Credo Mutwa has a book;

Indaba my children

Sorry if I mispelt it, its 4;30am.

Its an excellent book, I have a S.African friend who swears by it. The stories in there should be brought to life in books and cartoons but its as though he broke an oath in telling them.

Quoting you btw.

Back in Kenya & Tanzania they are so popular that they feature on the daily dress, Kangas (more like a wrap than a dress) of most women.

That's amazing, do you have any pictures?


I wanted to know if the Dagara elders could tell the diffrence between fiction and reality. The elders did not understand what a starship is, they did not understand what the fussy uniforms had to do with anything but they recognized in Spock a Kontomble of the seventh planet... they had never seen a Kontomble that big.
