Ernest Hamingway
|
In 1954, Ernest Hemingway and his fourth wife Mary toured the Belgian Congo, Kenya, and Rwanda. While flying over Uganda, their plane clipped a telegraph wire and plunged onto the crocodile-infested shores of the Nile. As the Hemingways camped out near the wreckage, false reports of their deaths made world headlines. They rationed their beer and whisky, but were soon rescued by a boat that was well stocked with ale. The couple then climbed into a second airplane - only to have it crash on the airstrip.

Himba People
|
The origin of the Himba people in Namibia is hidden in much secrecy. What is known is that they are linked to the Herero
speaking people of Southern Africa in language, and in the importance of their matrimonial ancestry method of
determining family ties.One of the very interesting traditions of the Himba people is the so-called law of
friendship or of hospitality. When a strange man, whether on the way to war or just passing by with this livestock,
comes to your isolated settlement, it is vital to receive him with utmost hospitality. He can freely partake in your
food and water and use the shelter of your defensive kraal (the encircled enclosure made of strong stumps and thorn
branches surrounding the huts and the pens for your livestock). As evening settles, one of your wives or daughters
will accompany this man to his hut and be his companion for the night.
