African culture is incredibly interesting because it is so diverse. Every African country is a mix of tribes each with their own unique language and culture. Countries as small as Uganda have more than 30 tribes. Here are links and articles covering arts, crafts, languages, tribes, religions, food and more which will help make your African trip a richer experience.
South Africa has a traditional tribal structure that does not fit easily into a modern democracy. These ancient tribes and nations represent the culture, customs and values of early African societies and are an important part of South Africa 's traditions. The Constitution of South Africa recognised this by setting up six Provincial Houses of Traditional Leaders. These Houses are in Eastern Cape, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, Limpopo and North West.
The two Ndebele groups were not only separated geographically but also by differences in their languages and tribes cultures. The Ndebele of the Northern Province consisted mainly of the BagaLanga and the BagaSeleka tribes who, by and large, adopted the language and culture of their Sotho neighbours.
A Ndebele top cultural village, made up of residential units (umuzi), is quite often defined by its striking artwork, which is done by the women. In this way she designates her territory while using art as a form of inspiration for everyday life. The family head (mnumzana) oversees his entire family and, in some cases, his married children and his brothers are permitted to settle in his community; thus expanding the residence into a village.
