 These are  images of Africa in the eyes of an African.

 A collection of photographs; depicting a fresh look at the people of the Rainbow nation,   by   Mpho Phiri.

Most of the photos were taken from cultural festivals in the North West Province of the Republic of South Africa.

The Province boasts a multicultural society even though the Tswanas are in the majority.

Besides the Tswanas there are also the Sothos,Pedis,Ndebeles,Xhosas and Zulus

In my exploration I came to realize that; in order that one could witness the colorful spectacle of the African dress ware;  was for one to attend the annual cultural festivals.

In these festivals some long forgotten customs and traditions come to live oncemore.There, the elders; where possible are seen demonstrating to the young on how it was done in the days of yore.

Due to lack of materials and resources the youth of today  are seen  resorting  to any available scrap material for the occasions’ costumes.
