I'm just curious to know how safe it would be to travel around the Eastern part of Zimbabwe, specifically the area around Mutare and places like Nyanga National Park. I've always found the North Eastern part of South Africa extremely beautiful but nothing seems to compare to the raw beauty that the Highlands of Zim seem to offer. Any advice or tips would be appreciated 😃
Anyone here remember just a few years ago someone in Trump's cabinet said publicly that there was a genocide against white people in South Africa? I wonder how big is that myth to American racists? I mean, you can still find them muttering about Rhodesia sometimes.
History really is cyclical, isn't it? During the Reconstruction, white Southerners spread so many outrageous lies about black people that it became impossible to track all of them. I hope that black South Africans will be able to drag all of these arseholes out for punishment.
Do you guys believe in muthi?
I'm not talking about traditional medicine, I'm talking about magic muthi. The type that gives you riches (allegedly) or that can "find your soulmate".
Please note, I'm not talking about the charlatans who advertise ding-dong cream on the trains and buses. I'm talking about real root workers who deal with real magic.
For example, have any "white" people needed help breaking curses or dealing with malevolent African spirits? Do you guys know what Amanzi Amnyama is? Do you know what Korobela is? Have you tried it? Do you guys know what is "ukuquma nokuphalaza" (sp? )?
I just find it fascinating that we all live in the sane world but we have such different versions of reality just because of tradition. I wonder if any of the "white" people have experienced any of this.
*I always put "white" or "black" in inverted commas because we weren't allowed to use those terms in our household so it feels weird for me to do so. My Mother always says there's no such thing as a black person or white person, it's brown and tan.
Everything on the Internet sucks for me. When I say I'm South African people assume I'm black, which I'm not, and throw racist remarks towards me even though I'm white. I can sympathise with the black people of the Internet and I'm so so sorry.
The weirdest part though is that a lot of people ask me for an n-word pass which is strange.
It's the weirdest experience to have racism target towards me even though I'm not the race that it's targeted to.
To everyone that doesn't know: South Africa is nicknamed the rainbow nation because we are the most culturally diverse country. So everyone please stop assuming that South Africa only has black people.
Hello, I live in East London, South Africa. 3 years ago in early January I swatted a mosquito and was surprised to see it was completely white in colour. I had never seen a white mosquito before. I googled "white mosquito" but got no results (there were results for a white plume moth, but it didn't look like a white plume moth). Today I am sitting in my room and another white mosquito lands on me, I didn't swat it and instead got up and put it in a square plastic container I had. After tilting it and looking at it, it is indeed a white mosquito. There are no entomology institutes in my city so I have nobody to ask if these things are well known or if nobody has really cared. I've tried taking pics with my phone, but they either won't focus, or when they do focus the mosquito doesn't look white in the picture. Any thoughts on what I should do with the thing?
