♥ There is a World.... and then there is AFRICA ♥


Every Morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It must run faster than the fastest Lion or it will be killed. Every morning a Lion wakes and it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death. Whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle, when the sun comes up.....you better start Running.


When you follow in the path of your father, you learn to walk like him - South Africa


A fight between grasshoppers is a joy to the crow. ~ Lesotho  

To be without a friend is to be poor indeed.  ~ Tanzanian  

Much wealth brings many enemies. – Swahili


The skin of the leopard is beautiful, but not his heart. Never underestimate your enemy ~Baluba



As it is Africa, congruent things are similar. But similar things are not congruent, 
As it is Africa, a lizard images as a crocodile, But a crocodile will never be a lizard, 
As it is Africa, a smile images as laugher, But laughter will never be a smile; 
As it is Africa, Laugher image as love, But love will never be laugher.
As it is Africa, a company images as friendship, But friendship will never be company,  As it is Africa, false sound as truth, But truth will never be false, 
As it is Africa, all wild trees look green, But wild trees do not bear the same fruit, 

Phinda Mkhonta
