Afrika ni bara ambalo limekuwa na historia, utamaduni, na utofauti kwa karne nyingi. Watu wake wana mila, imani, na desturi za kipekee ambazo zimepitishwa kutoka kizazi hadi kizazi. Hata hivyo, kadiri muda unavyosonga mbele, baadhi ya desturi hizo zinafifia, na utambulisho wa Mwafrika unazidi kumomonyoka. Moja ya sababu za msingi za hili ni imani kwamba waganga wa kienyeji na mababu ni mashetani na wana roho mbaya.



Waafrika wengi wamepotoshwa kwa kuamini kwamba mila za kitamaduni ni za kizamani, za nyuma, na zinahusishwa na pepo wachafu. Dhana hizo potofu sio tu potofu bali pia ni hatari kwa uhifadhi wa utamaduni na utambulisho wa Mwafrika. Katika makala yetu ya hivi punde zaidi kuhusu #NewAfricanGH, tunachunguza jinsi kutoelewana kwa mila za Kiafrika kunavyoibia vizazi vijavyo urithi wao.

Kuachwa kwa waganga wa kienyeji katika ukingo wa jamii kumechochewa na dhana potofu kwamba wanatumia pepo wachafu kuwaponya wagonjwa wao. Kwa kweli, waganga wa jadi ni watu wanaoheshimiwa sana ambao wana jukumu muhimu katika kuponya na kuongoza jamii zao. Kwa kukemea mila na desturi, Waafrika wengi wanapoteza mguso wa mizizi yao na utambulisho wao.

Shuhuda chache adimu za Misri ya kale ambazo zimeepuka uwongo na Wazungu zimetufikia zikiwa ziko sawa.
Je, wazungu wasioweza kustahimili jua na Waarabu ambao ni wahamaji kwa asili wanawezaje kujenga ustaarabu kwenye kingo za mto Nile?

Kwa nini Waethiopia hawakutawaliwa?

Mnamo tarehe 1 na 2 Machi 1896, wapiganaji na wakulima walishinda jeshi la Italia lililokuwa na silaha za kutosha katika mji wa kaskazini wa Adwa nchini Ethiopia. Matokeo ya vita hivi yalileta uhuru wa Ethiopia, na kuifanya kuwa nchi pekee ya Kiafrika isiyowahi kutawaliwa na koloni

Vita vya Adwa vilipiganwa kwa muda wa siku mbili (1/2 Machi) kati ya Majeshi Makubwa ya Ethiopia chini ya Amri ya Mtawala Menelik II, na majeshi ya Italia yaliyovamia.
Ilikuwa ni vita ya kuamua katika Vita vya Kwanza vya Italo-Ethiopia na hatua ya mabadiliko katika historia ya kisasa ya Afrika na nguvu ya Kikoloni ya Ulaya ikishindwa na Ethiopia ikitambuliwa kama taifa huru na mataifa ya Ulaya

Waethiopia pia walichukua "Simba wa Vita" na wanyama wengine hatari na wadudu kama vile nyuki, nyigu, tembo na duma katika vita kama silaha. Wanyama hawa, ambao jeshi la Italia halikutarajia, na hawakuweza kuacha, waliendelea kwa mauaji ya Italia.

Vita vya Adwa vilikuwa ni kushindwa vibaya kwa Italia na Waethiopia waliwafukuza Waitaliano waliokuwa wakitoroka hadi Eritrea na kutoka nje ya eneo hilo kabisa. Kama matokeo ya kushindwa kwa kiasi kikubwa, Mkataba wa Addis Abba ulitiwa saini. Wa iliisha na Waitaliano walitambua uhuru wa Ethiopia.
Magazeti mengi duniani kote yaliwaonyesha Waethiopia kuwa weupe, kwa sababu hawakutaka kufichua kwamba jeshi la wapiganaji Weusi lilikuwa limeshinda vita hivyo vya kukata na shoka dhidi ya jeshi la wazungu.

Some peõple does not know that there were ancient African games that had tremendous popularity and respect even before the arrival of sports like foôtball, baskëtball,Vollëyball and others to Africa, but regrettably these sports were dropped and slowly forgotten.

Long before còlonialism, the high jump was a national sport at which Rwandans excelled. It was a tradition of great importance in Rwandan society, as men would frequently jump over 6 feet 6 inches in displays of their physical abilities. At important celebrations, the Rwandan kings would order a series of cultural activities to be performed at the court. The high jump was one of the activities typically included at such events. It was also performed at important weddings and outside the court at local gatherings of importance.

Both the young and the old played gusimbuka urukiramende. Children would plant two sticks, horizontally place another pole, and compete according to their ages. Kids tending livestock used their breaks to play the game until the evening when they would take their cattle back home.
