Facts about Africa

Facts about Africa
Yes as I was presented by Staalhamburger I did travel quite a bit all over the places in the world. But my place of best interest is Africa, because I was born there. I will try to describe this continent to you as best as I can.
I will talk about the people, the land, the quality of life and differences in different countries in Africa.
Let’s start by the beginning, nowadays we have people of all races in Africa, we have blacks, whites, yellow, and coloureds and believe it or not were born in Africa and then you have the same races living in Africa permanently but were not born in Africa.
Now those people all work together in a way or another, make new families, own pieces of land, for different reasons, i.e.: industries, farming, households and other means. Like everywhere in the world you have different categories of people, you have the lazy ones, the ones just working for what they are asked for and the thieves.
I’ll describe now, for the reader who doesn’t know about Africa, the differences in land fertility and mineral richness all over the continent.
Approximately 1500km North and South of the Equator you have very fertile grounds nearly everywhere, than the more North or South you go it’s getting less fertile.
Up North it’s getting hotter where you’ll find some of the most amazing deserts in the world, the Sahara, the Tenere, the Egyptian Desert just to mention a few. The more South you go, you’ll find the Namib Desert and the Kalahari Desert but not with the same heat as up North.
What surprised me is that in the Central areas of Africa, West Africa and West African Coast the people are working for their pieces of land for food to feed their families and cattle if they have and sell some of the crops to enable them to buy some tools, different utensils and other needed items.
Southern Africa, on the other hand, is very lazy; they want to be given, THEY DON’T WANT TO WORK TO GET IT!!!! Yes, it’s unbelievable; they rather turn to criminality before working for it. Of course, this doesn’t apply to all of the people living in this area, but to a great number of them.
Please don’t get me wrong here, I’m not racist, thinking it’s only the blacks, yellows, coloureds or whites doing it, it happens between all race groups, i.e. : White stealing, killing Whites, Blacks on Blacks and so on....
Coming to that point, it is destroying the country they live in. Instead of building for a better future.....like a good example between many, Zimbabwe.
The quality of life over Africa differs from country to country, of course, it would be boring otherwise don’t you think, different cultures, habits, availability of luxuries (if you can’t live without a sports car it will be difficult for you to adapt in a country with poor road maintenance...it will not be a nice country for you to stay in).
But if you can mingle with different cultures and live with the basics plus a bit, you’ll enjoy it.
In Africa you’ll meet very interesting friendly people from different race and culture back grounds, which makes it amazing to discuss with.
