South African Subcultures!

So, researching and digging the internet I found something rather exciting: pop cultures in South Africa and tribes!

Kom Ons Braai
It’s so popular, that most of the country recognises Heritage Day as National Braai Day and they all organise big gatherings where they can stand around the fire and cook meat.
The subculture of braaing started out mostly between the white Afrikaners. From there is spread throughout all cultures and now is more of a social phenomenon.
Smarteez
The Smarteez are a small youth group of fashion designers who dress in bright and mismatching colours and patterns to make their statement. Their belief is that they’re born to be free and so they will express that by wearing what they want and drawing attention to themselves in the meantime.

ZULU: A TRIBE

This is the largest ethnic group in South Africa, with over 10 million people. They refer to themselves as ‘the people of the heavens’. The speak IsiZulu, which is South Africa’s most widely spoken official language. It is a tonal language understood by people from the Cape to Zimbabwe and is characterized by many «clicks»

Traditional Zulu religion was based on ancestor worship and on beliefs in a creator god, witches, and sorcerers. Modern Zulu Christianity has been marked by the growth of independent or separatist churches under prophets, some of great wealth and influence.

They live mainly in the province of KwaZulu-Natal.

Finally, I found an interesting video about the subculture Smarteez. I’ll lo leave you to it. Hope you enjoyed this amazing trip to South Africa!
