What does it mean to be an African in the 21st century?

This question was introduced into today's episode of Chat Room on SABC1 and it caught my attention. I don't usually watch the show but today it raised a topic of interest and concern to what it really means to be an African, more precisely a woman, in the 21st century.

Firstly let's have a look at the definition of an 'African' before tackling this 'issue' .
Now in the Miriam Webster dictionary it is clearly defined as "A person from Africa, especially a black person" AND " relating to Africa or people of African descent.

Which brings us to the question: what is African descent or ancestry?

I personally perceive it as following or having respect for African traditions and cultures, whether or not you are of black ethnicity, and have influence in your life. 

The modern day woman is more than often looked down and frowned upon because of the way she speaks, dresses and where she lives and what she eats. Weaves more especially, have been controversial talks amongst members of society on whether they define your "realness" in being an African or not.
 
I don't understand what appearance has to do with your roots and cultural background. You may look like the next Beyonce: silky hair, mini skirts, twang or even real foreign accent, dress classy and even eat classy at that or even be a Lebo Mashile look a-like with your big natural afro, beaded necklaces and African print attires but if you're born into a certain belief system - Africanism - or choose to become a part of it in some point in your life, and you're forefathers practiced ways of the African Man, spoke to the ancestors and slaughtered the cow for ceremonies then I don't see reason as to why that rich tradition and culture needs to be thrown away. 

THAT makes an African.

Africanism should actually become a religion, where one of whatever race can practice and learn the ways of an African, whether it is the Mbundu culture in Angola or Sesotho of the Lesotho Land, what you eat or wear does not define you're Africanism but rather your CULTURAL PRACTICES.

Boity's Bum

Less than an hour ago a rather controversial picture of Boitumelo Thuli, synonymously known as Boity, was leaked onto the famous Twitter and I'm sure other social media networks (with Facebook being the last to know).

The pic (seen below)  has gotten Tweeps and other members of society expressing mixed reactions. Some don't see the fault in the picture and others well, do.

Comments such as "She's such a hoe" and "Well then, Now we have our own Miley Cyrus in S.Africa and she's Boity" have been passed . I personally think its prudishness and ignorance that our people have unfortunately been "blessed" with.

The picture is not even distasteful, on the contrary, its quite artful and not erotic.

To think its all for a campaign even. Funny thing is, no one has even mentioned the other two models besides Boity in the picture, who one of them, has her right boob facing towards the camera. I wouldve thought THAT wouldve had Africans raging and passing nasty comments.

The question here is: is the picture so controversial because Boity is a celebrity OR is it controversial because Boity has guts to break this stigma of ignorance some of us has around media work in Africa and because she actually has a nice bum?

:"D

Beyonce's Bum

In beyonce's latest video,  Partition her bum is revealed wrapped in a thong and men and some women find this tasteful.. sooo I personally dont see the difference #JustSaying

You go Boity!! :D ♥

Beyonce and Kelly Rowland feud?

A few weeks ago RnB singer Kelly Rowland posted a picture on her Instagram account paying Tribute to the late Aaliyah. The image of the star includes both Kelly And Beyonce posing for the camera's seeming very happy.


Moments later, ON THE SAME DAY, Queen of POP music, her highness Beyonce posted a very similar picture to Kelly's on her Instagram account, but with the "Kisses Down Low" singer cropped out. The caption of the image was  "God bless baby girl" .

Now, there have been many mixed reactions to this "incident" all over the internet and on social media sites. Some say that Beyonce was quite the bitch for cropping and reediting Kelly's picture and others say that the whole thing is blown out of proportion.

I personally feel that the TBT - Throw Back Thursday was centered around the late star Aaliyah and remembering the moments EACH star shared with her.

But haike asazi, we're here in Mzansi and will probably never what is the situation between Kelly and Bey.

Thank you for reading..
