Pity its almost bed time!!! I wanted to tell you – specially the international readers…
I still get shocked by things that happen in South Africa – even though I live here.
Someone told me today, (and you might scold me for being so naive) , but there are really people in South Africa who sell their babies. Even sell them in pieces. Why you might ask? Selling organs on the black market? Nope. They sell them to the sangoma’s (traditional healers), who use them in the muti (medicine type potions).
This is absolutely horrifying, and not something that I deal with in my culture, but this is something that is relatively common in black cultures in South Africa. Its not like all black people do this, but they at least know about it.
As for myself, I knew that the sangoma’s brew muti with body parts, but never thought that it went as far as this. Its cannibalism and just sheer insanity.
I find it revolting.
I’m a pear body shape, as you might (or might not) know. And though this might have upsides, I’m a real female, and I usually see only the downsides. After searching the internet for ‘what to wear’ for my body shape, I came up with nothing substantial. So I’ve decided that it doesn’t matter WHAT body shape we are, we’re usually unhappy with it anyway. I’ll wear clothes in which I am comfortable, and I’ll try to maintain a healthy body, as in shape as I can possibly manage, and for the rest I’ll have to try and make peace with it.
