Designer clothing and designer jeans are manufactured by high-end fashion designers, high-street stores and independent designer boutiques. Do we early understand the present-day technology and the machines(gizmos it has spawned and still emerging as I am speaking?) There is also this confusion and misperception as if culture in South Africa cannot be merged with the modern technologies and its machines, and that we are a hopeless and lost backward cause and people. Due to the rising interest of women in their clothing and the brands making their clothes, there has been a tremendous increase in the textile industry manufacturing women’s clothes. However, fashion changes with every coming season and seasons change every couple of months; thus it is a challenge to the manufacturers to keep making the best of the designs which are able to attract the women during all the seasons with the same interest as ever. Although men’s clothing is also gaining huge importance in the industry but still, the fashion industry’s benchmark for success has always been women’ wear. Even at fashion shows across the world the stress has always been on women’s clothing. “… The way we think, the way we behave, helps to create the kinds of victimization from which we suffer. The oppressive configuration the White man has assumed in relationship to the African man is in good part the result of the fact that we have permitted ourselves to remain in complementary subordinate configuration conducive to his oppressive designs. “The White man Cannot Be What He Is unless We Are What We Are As A People”. But Mapungubwe also produced much skeletal material; and the evidence of this skeletal material was roundly declared by the anthropologists to be in conflict with this simple view of the matter. These skeletons – and eleven out of the twenty-four recovered on the summit were found to capable of investigation – showed a people with “great scarcity of Negro features” who represented, Galloway’s words, “A homogenous Boskop-Bush that is, Hottentot or near Hottentot(KhoiSan?) population physically akin to the post-Boskop inhabitants of the coastal caves” of South Africa. Our skin is changing constantly and produces new and young cells every day. These will replace the dead cells, but to allow those new cells to reach that superior level of regeneration, we must get rid of our dead ones. That is why exfoliating our skin, the next step in our skin care regimen is so important. When we don’t exfoliate we are just leaving those dead cells blocking the way to the new cell giving our skin a dull and opaque appearance. Exfoliation removes dead cells leaving a free way for the new ones to regenerate your skin and support a youthful look. This rejuvenating effect is the natural result of removing the dead cells stimulating the production of young and new cells. In addition, with a good exfoliation the lotions and treatments for the skin will have a better absorbtion and will work even better at deeper level. Some homemade exfoliators are: oatmeal, salt, etc.
(27) If there is any history at all, it is the history of Europeans in Africa. The congenital prejudice of some European scholars is amazing and breath-taking, perhaps not so amazing when it is remembered that it is a continuation of a tradition founded in modern times by Gobineau. But then, whatever doubts some of his constructions might bring to a mind of a scholar of African history, the writings of Fronbenius on African history, culture and civilization have irrefutably established its existence. It is not surprising that Frobenius had at one time a great influence on Aime Cesaire. These latter events tabulated here served or were used as raw and brutal force that was used to subjugate and , enslave, colonize and apartheidize Africans to the extend that what we are witnessing about Africans South is that they have become a dysfunctional nation. The Africans in South Africa are malfunctioning as a nation because for over 400 years, the constant in the reality of Africans has been that of being servants, slaves and segregated subjects of Different European rule. At no time have Africans in South Africa ruled themselves as a nation and even today, with a democratically elected African government, this is still denied to them: Nationhood. With the exception of Ki-Zerbo, the other historians have developed their historical enterprises within, or adjacent to, historical materialism. Cedric J. Robinson is seriously mistaken when he argues in his huge book of 500-pages, Black Marxism , that the structure of African historical experience is absolutely incompatible with the constructs of historical materialism. This view is held by major historical Master Teachers like Hendrik Clarke and Ben Joachanan etc. Breaking ties with its predecessor, the National Professional Soccer League (controlled by George Thabe), the NSL adopted nonracial principles and backed the sport boycott movement. Beginning in the late 1980s, as the ANC and the National Party laid the foundations for a negotiated end to apartheid, antagonistic football associations discussed the formation of a single, nonracial controlling body. This ‘unity’ process accelerated in the late 1980s and led to the creation, in December 1991, of an integrated South African Football Association (SAFA). With this development, FIFA welcomed South Africa back into world soccer on 3 July 1992. You can even try to experiment with different types of fashion suits. Most of the clothes shops offer you the freedom to experiment. In this way, you can discover the suit types most suitable for you. Choose a fashion suit that best highlights the part of your body that best defines you.
“With many Africans having left their culture, we have been tricked into using the European ‘racial’ identity model, a model that places all of the emphasis for defining identity on the contemplation of pigment and other aspects of phenotype. When we become preoccupied with our “racial” or phenotypic features, we fail to consider sufficiently our vast cultural wealth which connects us to Africans around the world. This brings into focus issues about our culture. I have tried to show how Art and sports have developed, or was developing, and now it is not; i.e.e, both sports and art are now controlled by foreign companies band White-owned museums and show-rooms. Both sports and art have been taken out of the hands of the sportsmen and artists; out of the control of the communities and the Africans who were supposed to be representing and represented in various sporting activities. Like in the case of when Orland Stadium was rebuilt in preparation for the World Cup, the new stadium is good only for rugby, soccer, and festivals. The Old Orlando stadium used to have Track and field tracks and schools in the communities throughout Soweto would meet there and partake in the sporting activities there. Now, with the new stadium, the track and field stadium has never been configured into the building of the stadium-was never rebuilt into the stadium, and the stadium serves, mostly, soccer teams, and the community has a useless new stadium, either than sports, music, church events and such like things. I ask, Why do we let anyone walk into our communities today and not be questioned or responsible for whatever they do to our people without making them accountable? Why do we say that our people, whenever they question first preference given to anyone, except them, as being Xenophobic? All Countries in the West and in Europe are Extremely and profusely Xenophobic- research bears this out, and I will post it in some not too distant future? Why if Africans raise their concerns about what is happening to them they are tagged as being unwelcoming and very mean to foreigners. And during the early 1960s, with the establishment of the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL), the team rose to the occasion and finished near the top of the table on a number of occasions. The Lynneville Stadium hosted many exciting matches, and huge crowds would flock to witness games between Amazayoni and once famous opponents like Black Pirates, Katlehong United, Randfontein Young Zebras, Transvaal Black Birds, Orlando Highlanders and Pretoria’s Spa Sporting club. Significantly, in 1964 the Blue and Whites†reached the finals of the UTC Cup but narrowly missed the handsome cup and the R400 prize money on offer, when Young Zebras outplayed them.
• If you plan to buy the shoe for wearing it with your jeans, you need to be bit careful when choosing it. Although black would go best with jeans but one thing that you need to keep in mind while buying your footwear is to avoid buying shiny shoes that actually look best when worn with dressier outfits. “Further, some of the valuable information revealed in these forums are sometimes repeating what Africans have said 20, 30, 50, 100, and 200 years ago. Because there was no study, Africans behave as though they re presenting new information. “Restricting one’s identity to physical characteristics is equal to acquiescing to the European domination strategy of ethnic cleansing and cultural genocide. People often confuse “race” with ethnic and cultural idetnity. When we see people who look like us, we assume that they all regard themselves as embers of the African Ethnic family; in addition to being Black. Many Africans believe that our only real struggle is to join the mythical “mainstream” as individuals. While, We as Africans, may have individual distinctions connected to religion, class nationality, etc., we must be careful not to allow these distinction to divide us in the name of service to oppressors. Food in Daily Life. Rice, beans, and manioc form the core of the Brazilian diet and are eaten at least occasionally by all social classes in all parts of the nation. Manioc is a root crop that is typically consumed as farinha , manioc flour sprinkled over rice and beans, or farofa , manioc flour sautéed in a bit of oil with onions, eggs, olives, or other ingredients. To this core, meat, poultry, or fish are added, but the frequency of their consumption is closely tied to financial well-being. While the middle and upper classes may consume them on a daily basis, the poor can afford such protein sources far less often. Tracing this history from, say then, “around say the sixth century when the migration patterns of Africans in Africa came to an end, the continent was from then onwards occupied by farmers whenever the climatic conditions allowed. In the forests of Central Africa, a farming technique based on a field cleared each year was developed. Yams, plantains and vegetable were grown there; food-growing was only one element in a complex in which trapping and gathering remained very important. If men cannot be stopped from wearing it on casual days, women may resolve to push them to wear pants to keep the nylons for men hidden. They can also make them wear the skin toned or nude colors so that it will not be too visible underneath the clothing.
Flip flops are a southern girls favorite footwear, and they are fine for the beach, a picnic, or wearing in the back yard, but you need to consider another alternative if you are going out in public. These are not fashion sandals and even if they are decorated they are still a casual item meant for casual clothing and activities. When we research African people’s history, culture, customs, traditions and language, we can do so some of the times, alone. But as we need to go further in our understanding our history, culture, customs, traditions and languages, we need to do so as a united African people, as Chinweizu is pointing out above. In order for us to clearly understand the diatribe above in relation to language, we will refer to Ong as he write: “In oral cultures experience is intellectualized mnemonic ally. So, how can a conditioned slave have options which are not there for him to choose from or as you say, ‘Choose a comfort mind-setwhich still is a rickety postulation, and of course, worse still, the last sentence in which you state ‘You dare win or loose,’ is seriously flawed and vague and incredulous. Wilson says: “People who are ahistorical, who have little knowledge of history, are people who are more gullible, more easily manipulated and people who can be more easily adapted to the capitalist machine than people who are historically knowledgeable”. A good body skin tightening cream must have Vitamin C in order to boost the skin’s performance in producing more collagen. Collagen fibre must also be produced for a firmer skin. Hyaluronic acid can do the trick. For those who have just given birth, they should watch out for their abdominal skin as it may begin to sag, too. Herbal blend will not only firm up the stomach but will also target the skin in the buttocks, breasts, and other parts of your body. The Liberation Struggle in South Africa from the 1960s till the 1990s gave rise to a number of schools of thought on the role of culture (art & literature) under a racially oppressive and authoritarian society. The debates ranged from the use of the arts as a weapon of the struggle to artists working towards the creation of a new people-centered non-racial culture. As the mod style grew in popularity, many other groups picked it up, sparking the mod movement which peaked in the mid 1960s. At its height in popularity, mod clothing could be seen on supermodels, musicians, and everyone else, young to old, not just teenagers. However, because it started as a counterculture movement, its popularity led to its downfall, as those who started the trend abandoned it because it had become too popular. It was no longer a rebellious subculture because too many people were wearing mod clothing. By about 1967, the mod style was replaced by hippie, bohemian, and psychedelic styles. After its mid 1960s heyday, mod clothing styles were revived several times, most notably in Britain in the late 1970s and in the United States in the early 1980s.
