MAASAI\n\nWho are they? \nThe Maasai, famous as herders and warriors, once dominated the plains of East Africa. Now however they are confined to a fraction of their former range.\n\nHow do they live? \nFor the Maasai, cattle are what make the good life, and milk and meat are the best foods. Their old ideal was to live by their cattle alone – other foods they could get by exchange – but today they also need to grow crops. They move their herds from one place to another, so that the grass has a chance to grow again; traditionally, this is made possible by a communal land tenure system in which everyone in an area shares access to water and pasture. Nowadays Maasai have increasingly been forced to settle, and many take jobs in towns. Maasai society is organised into male age-groups whose members together pass through initiations to become warriors, and then elders. They have no chiefs, although each section has a Laibon, or spiritual leader, at its head. Maasai worship one god who dwells in all things, but may manifest himself as either kindly or destructive. Many Maasai today, however, belong to various Christian churches. \n\nWhat problems do they face? \nSince the colonial period, most of what used to be Maasai land has been taken over, for private farms and ranches, for government projects or for wildlife parks. Mostly they retain only the dryest and least fertile areas. The stress this causes to their herds has often been aggravated by attempts made by governments to 'develop' the Maasai. These are based on the idea that they keep too much cattle for the land. However, they are in fact very efficient livestock producers and rarely have more animals than they need or the land can carry. These 'development' efforts try to change their system of shared access to land. While this has suited outsiders and some entrepreneurial Maasai who have been able to acquire land for themselves or sell it off, it has often denuded the soil and brought poverty to the majority of Maasai, who are left with too little and only the worst land.

Traditional Congolese dances are rooted in ritual. Ritual dances are spiritually-connected, therefore acknowledging the spirit world and its presence in everyday life. These dances symbolize and, often, celebrate life's many occurrences - child birth, rites of passage, a successful harvest or preparation for war, to name a few. Ritual dances are considered sacred, done only by certain families or villages.

It's a sad fact that many African countries that start off as democracies revert to tribalism. Zimbabwe is a extreme example but you'll find Mugabe has his defenders here on Answers. Most of these 'defenders' have of course never been to Zimbabwe and are just spouting someones  propaganda. I hope the RSA doesn't follow this path but of course corruption is rife throughout the country and this often leads to one party states which are the end of democracy.
