    CULTURE-AFRICA: Attempts Made to Outlaw Dangerous Superstitions James Hall MBABANE, Swaziland, Apr 18 (IPS) - In the wake of a decision by soccer officials at this year's African Cup of Nations championship to banish spell-casting witchdoctors from the football pitch during games, police departments throughout Southern Africa have taken steps to curb superstitious practices that are more dangerous than amusing. ''If a Swazi wants to believe that a seven-headed snake lives at the bottom of Maguga Dam, the law cannot make him change his mind. But if a person has sex with an underage girl in the belief that sleeping with a virgin will cure AIDS, the law will prosecute him for statutory rape,'' says Swaziland's director of public prosecutions Lincoln Ng'aura. ''Every nation and people on earth have their own superstitions and Africans are no more superstitious than anyone else,'' says Dr. Thandie Malepe, director of the Swaziland Psychiatric Centre. ''But damage is done by people who act on their darkest beliefs. It then becomes incumbent on society to protect itself.''

    Country Info Swaziland Introduction Swaziland General Data Swaziland Maps Swaziland Culture ... Swaziland Time and Date Swaziland Culture Back to Top The two main cultural events are the Incwala in December and the Umhlanga in August. The Incwala is sometimes described as a first-fruits ceremony, but, spread over six days, it is a much more complex ritual of renewing and strengthening the kingship and the nation, with songs and dances used only on this occasion. The Umhlanga, or Reed Dance, brings together the maidens of the country to cut reeds for the annual repairs to the windbreaks of the queen mother's village; it lasts for five days. It is also symbolic of the unity of the nation and of its perpetuation through the massed ranks of young women. Both ceremonies are held at the national capital of the queen mother. Other ceremonies are associated with the communal weeding and harvesting of the king's fields (and those of the chiefs) and with customary marriages. Most ceremonies are accompanied by traditional music, songs, and dancing. Musical instruments are simple in design, a kudu horn (impalampala) used for hunting or herding cattle, a calabash attached to a bow (umakweyane) for love songs, the reed flute, played by small boys while herding, and rattles made of seedpods attached to the wrists and ankles. However, more typical of the homestead nowadays are the radio and record and tape players.

Three large, flat rocks that are clean. 4. Three medium, round rocks that are clean 5. Three large pans to place rocks in to catch the corn meal. 6. Rural Swaziland as Nila Leigh knows it ( background information Procedures: 1. Introduce unit in the following way: "Where did everybody learn how to swim?" When class has participated, say, "Well, this is how Nila Leigh learned how to swim in Africa." Find Africa and Swaziland on map so children know where story is located. 2. Read the story to the class. 3. Following the story, have a discussion on the book. Possible questions that may be addressed: What are some differences you notice in Nila's life in Africa?

    Culture
    Dancing and singing are features of Swaziland's main cultural ceremonies, and traditional get-togethers can be brilliant celebrations, with men and women dancing in unison in spectacular traditional gear. Although the monarchy has been criticised as illiberal, the main cultural festivals revolve around sacred ceremonies drawing the people together and reminding them of their relationship to the king. Swazi national dress is striking and you'll see it worn frequently, especially at ceremonies. Shades of ochre, pink and red are common, as is wearing bright feathers in the hair. Maize is the staple grain, and most people eat it as a type of porridge, often served with a fatty stew. That may sound unappetising, but it is a poor country and it suffers from chronic insecurity of food supply in regions prone to drought. Historically, Swazis have been meat eaters, but the average Swazi's diet is today more likely to be limited to maize, milk and vegetables. African home-produced beer, often made from sorghum or maize, is usually worth drinking, although its quality varies from place to place and you should ask for the best local outlet and brew.

    Swaziland The smallest country in the southern hemisphere is also one of the most easy going - laid-back Swazis are more likely to celebrate for fun than than demonstrate for reform. A progressive and hands-on attitude towards wildlife preservation has endowed Swaziland with a striking bunch of national parks and game reserves, and black and white rhino, elephant, and more recently, lion, have been reintroduced. You can trek, horse ride, raft on wild rivers or cycle through many of the parks and get surprisingly close to a huge variety of wildlife. The system of reserves also protects unique and rare plants and plant communities, such as the finbos ('fine bush' in Dutch) , more common in South Africa. While one or two towns get a little rough around the edges after dark, the tension palpably lifts if you have crossed into Swaziland from South Africa. Some of the more important festivals turn the Ezulwini ('Heaven') Valley into a brilliant spectacle of dancing and singing a couple of times a year, as tribespeople decked out in flamboyant costumes reaffirm their belief in the monarchy and their culture. There may be only one museum in the country and little in the way of night-time diversions besides gambling in the casino, but the countryside's thriving and the life's wild. Full country name: Kingdom of Swaziland
    Area: 17,363 sq km (10,766 sq mi)

    Country Flag ... Travel Warning HISTORY According to tradition, the people of the present Swazi nation migrated south before the 16th century to what is now Mozambique. Following a series of conflicts with people living in the area of modern Maputo, the Swazis settled in northern Zululand in about 1750. Unable to match the growing Zulu strength, the Swazis moved gradually northward in the 1800s and established themselves in the area of modern or present Swaziland.

It is surrounded by the Republic of South Africa on three sides and by Mozambique on the east. Swaziland was formerly a British protectorate. It became independent in 1968 as the Kingdom of Swaziland. Mbabane is the administrative capital and largest town. Lobamba, a village, is the traditional, or royal, capital. Manzini is the major commercial centre. A Short Background Autonomy for the Swazis of southern Africa was guaranteed by the British in the late 19th century; independence was granted 1968. Student and labor unrest during the 1990s have pressured the monarchy (one of the oldest on the continent) to grudgingly allow political reform and greater democracy.
