My First Tour To Ghana Changed My Thoughts About Africa I was feeling a little uncomfortable when my friends wanted me to accompany them on their Ghana's tour. Previously, I had listened to many bad stories about Africa. I had listened that African countries are filled with crime, these countries have destabilized economies, global multinationals use African countries to sell their old weapons, they do this for exploiting the...more
Why travel in Zambia The landlocked country of Zambia gets its name from the prominent Zambezi River that flows through it and for many this is the primary reason to visit Zambia. The small population of the country is concentrated mainly in the capital of Lusaka or around the rich copper belt. In the South Zambia borders all of South Africa's Northern neighbours, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Namibia. DRC sits on the Northern...more
An african play Play: The Subtle transgressorAuthor: Omoseye BolajiPublisher: Eselby Junior Publications (South African edition)Reviewer: Peter Moroe The Subtle transgressor is a powerful drama, shocking in some respects and with convincing (grassroots) dialogue the author is noted for. The play addresses a number of social issues in this our increasingly sophisticated world. Alas as society advances it appears the moral fiber continues to be undermined. It is a reality we have to face.The pressures assailing the young can be clearly seen in this play – especially young ladies. They become aware of their sensuality and attractiveness to members of the opposite sex; they have their own desires and foibles; for those from rather poor backgrounds (as the protagonist Kate is) the pressures multiply even further. There are many men and "boys" out there ready to take advantage of them, realizing their vulnerability.Needless to say a young woman (note that the play focuses not only on Kate but her two close female friends too) must "take care of herself" – she needs the basics, including toiletries; nowadays many of them hanker for "airtime" "credit" for their mobile...more

Mini Travel Guide to Iguazu Falls Where is it? Iguazu Falls is located on the border of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. The falls should really be viewed from both the Brazilian and Argentinean sides of the river. The best panoramic view of the falls is provided from the Brazilian side, where you can also go on a helicopter tour of the falls. However, most of the falls are located in Argentina, so for more detailed views and more opportunities to experience the local flora and fauna at close range, go to the Argentina side. Argentina has the best vantage points, as well as the best view of Garganta del Diablo, the largest and most impressive fall.Why is it special? This UNESCO World Heritage Site, Foz de Iguacu (Iguazu Falls), is one of the most visited destinations in Argentina, for good reason. Taller than Niagara Falls, and four times as wide, 275 separate cascades rush 250 feet down over basalt rock. The name Iguazu comes from the Guarani word which means "big water." Big water it is indeed, the largest waterfall in the circuit, Garganta del Diablo, is a spectacular U-shaped cataract. Visitors can get close enough to be surrounded by 260 degrees of water. The...more
