Swaziland/South African Internet Cafes Stinking Practices

by admin on Mar.16, 2009, under Internet

Please do not be offended at the topic; it’s only to express the common vanity that our communities practice while online. Have you taken time so see what is going on in the internet cafes in the SADC region, particularly in South Africa and Swaziland? You will be surprised to learn that the focus is skewed and favors regions outside Africa. Why is that?

 

Even though I may not have scientific evidence to what I think influences this behavior but I strongly believe the following it true:

 

  1. We have been brought up to believe that best things come from Europe and America – It’s only in recent years that we learn of the good things in China and the Asian countries. We have always been influenced to support and adopt the western methods of doing things. We somehow believe that America and the United Kingdom have the best things in life and thus when we go online for what ever need we must start from any of these continents, America and Europe. If you don’t believe me, go to your nearest music shop and see what constitutes more volumes of albums on sale.
  2. Education – The assumption that the best things are learnt from the best is not always ideal, yet many still believe it’s true. Industrialized countries, where business best practice is assumed to be prevailing, are faced with challenges such as pollution and factors that promote the unwanted global warming. The so called best practice from the best economies could thus cost the whole world some irreplaceable goodies.
  3. No belief in ourselves – You will agree with me that today olden African practices are coming back to influence our way of doing things from the Europe and America. For example, we used to make our mealie meal from grinding stones wherein the chaff is not removed. This practice was discouraged in the past yet today the chaff is deemed required for a healthy digestive system. I have taken time to write a purely African thought on ‘African Virginity Assessment Methods for Girls‘ that today are abandoned but could come back tomorrow as invents from the America and/or Europe.

 

Africa, we need to believe in ourselves and support our own initiatives. I have put thought in a nice manner ‘How Africa can Steal from America’ at my blog. Nobody will panelize us for that; just as it is true that anybody from anywhere in the world can view this article only to learn what I think is not good practice or bad attitude when we ever go online.
