SOUTH AFRICAN`S CULTURE

Usually, when we think of South African culture, we only rely on the stories in books or films, which are rarely produced by people from this culture.

In this image, you can see what we normally think when we are told about this culture. We believe that all South Africans are always people who wear colorful clothes. That they have rituals that include music and dance. We also think that the whole community is made up of black people. Also, that women wear very large accessories. However, it can also be seen that they are people who fight for their rights in a peaceful way and even in the face of their living conditions they remain happy in appreciation of the little they may have.

As you can see, this is the representation of the image we think of when we hear about this culture. Black women and men dancing to their gods. And a community that in general has very few resources.

SOUTH AFRICAN SUBCULTURES

"ZEF" When talking about the Zef subculture, it must be taken into account that it originated in South Africa. This term was originally used in a derogatory way to refer to poor, white South Africans. In other words, this subculture included those who were ignorant or disadvantaged. Today, when we speak of the ZEF , we refer to those who have cultural factors in common and live in slums, leaving aside their origin based mainly on race.  "SHANGAAN TSONGA" The subculture called "shangaan tsonga" is also native to South Africa. This community represents the basis of South African culture. In its beginnings, it adopted different customs from other communities or tribes living in the country. The main thing about this subculture is its structure and the way they lead their lifestyle. Each house belongs to a family, in which the women do the housework and the men hunt and collect food.
