Unknown to many is that it was an expression of her lowest moment in life battling depression. Libianca admits writing the song when she felt invisible and unheard. No one knew what was happening in her life because she always put on a fake smile while dying deep inside.

‘People’, a soulful hit song with a touch of Afrobeats rocked in early 2023 and the artist behind it is Libianca Fonji. Before this song went out, she was little known. Now, the Cameroonian American artist is the face of afrosoul music who fans want more from. Many mistook her for an upcoming Ni...

Kruger National Park in South Africa

The best time to visit Kruger National Park in South Africa is during the dry season between May and October.

Dry weather is ideal, the grass is lower, and with fewer waterholes, animals will congregate searching for water, making it the perfect time.

Between May and September are the winter months in South Africa. Enjoy cool temperatures in the Kruger. These months have bright, sunny skies with little to no rain.

During summer in South Africa, between October and May, the scenery at the Kruger turns green. This is the best time for birding in Kruger.

Marriage in Namibia is not a walk in the park and young men thinking of settling down always shiver at this thought. Sisters to the bride take centre stage in securing their sibling a man of repute, not by words alone but by deeds. After the introduction to the family, the sisters (if any) embark on an intense loyalty test of their prospecting in-laws.

The loyalty test forgets modesty. Every thought and emotionally provoking seduction scenario you may have in mind comes into play in public. The role of the sisters is to do everything just to get the attention of the man like he should to his wife in the bedroom. If he lets his feelings in the way and warms up to them, he is pronounced disloyal and unfit to marry in that homestead.

African traditional rites of marriage are unique but nothing comes close to the daunting task ahead of bachelors marrying a Namibian woman

This delicacy got its name from a trend by a group of people whose religious beliefs didn’t allow them to eat pork. However, tales of how great the food was pushed them to taste although secretly. Word has it that they would sneak to local eateries late in the night and order the delicacy. Due to fear of being ostracized from their religious outfits, they ate hurriedly and restlessly as if the seats were hot. Thus, the meal was christened kitimoto pork.

Kitimoto pork is a unique delicacy that you can’t leave Tanzania without enjoying. This meal has an interesting history.

An undeserving heartbreak is the reason why the Lord Egerton Castle story exists today. The fourth Baron of Egerton fell in love with a young beautiful British girl named Victoria living in Kenya. She was from the late Queen Elizabeth’s lineage – the perfect match for an Egerton to settle down with as royalty demands. He built a four-roomed cottage on his farm located in Njoro, Nakuru County and invited her to see it hoping it would amaze her. However, she disapproved of the cottage likening it to a bird’s nest. In hindsight, this marked the beginning of Lord Egerton Castle's story.
The smitten British royal embarked on building a bigger house befitting his crush’s status. He hired a fellow English architect, Albert Brown to build a castle. Brown understood the assignment and hired 100 masons of Italian and Indian origin in 1938 who built a stunning castle surrounded by well-manicured lawns, canopies and wild shrubs.

Lord Egerton Castle story is the foundation of the often-trending Kenyan hashtag ‘fearwomen’. More often than not, men find themselves questioning their sanity after being ‘character developed’ by their spouses and girlfriends. However, many people joining the movement don’t understand tha...
