South African township life for teenagers

2000
This is all about the life which South African teenagers experience. Even if you have never been through it, you will get an idea what is it all about.Do not take it simple without any experience. Township may have negative and positive sides. It is much better to have an idea of something before doing it, like : if you can just visit our website , somewhere you will be hooked and wish to pay a visit in a township.

XHOSA TRADITION&HISTORY

1999
Our entry is titled Xhosa Traditions and Cultures. Many people living outside of South Africa are unaware of the different cultures which make up South Africa's society. The educational objective of this project is to provide people with information on different aspects of Xhosa culture. These include : marriage, traditions and the role of amaquiga( shaman). Many are these traditions are still in practice- both in the rural areas of South Africa and in urban areas. Another issue raised is the relevance of these pratices among the Xhosa community which is moving to cities and becoming Westenised.
