Extractions: It has been estimated that more than one million land mines - laid by both sides during the war - remain unexploded in Mozambique. Some minefields have warning signs, but most are unmarked and often only get discovered when someone gets blown to bits. For this reason it is simply not safe to go wandering off into the bush anywhere without first seeking local advice, and even then your safety isn't guaranteed - the number of local people with one or both legs amputated is proof enough of that. Stay on roads and well worn tracks where other people have obviously gone before. Take special care on road verges in rural areas - for example, if you want to head into the bushes for a pee. It's even possible to set off a mine by standing on the road and peeing into the verge.

Extractions: Southern Africa Malawi South Africa Conclusion Footnotes Because there are so few Muslims in this part of Africa, this brief paper will only focus on the two countries where there are considerable Muslim populations about whom information is available: Malawi and South Africa. Malawi Islam came to Malawi through several different routes. It was introduced to the country through the Jumbes, local rulers who represented the Sultan of Zanzibar and ruled along the coast of Lake Nyasa (now Lake Malawi) for most of the second half of the 19th century. During the same period, the Yao, an ethnic group that was, until then, based in Mozambique, migrated to the southern tip of the lake, bringing Islam with them. Additionally, as Christianity spread during the period of colonization, adopting Islam was seen as a means of resisting colonization. The Yao and closely related ethnic groups (including the Mwera, Makua and the Makonde) total some 8,000,000 people, mostly in Malawi, but also Mozambique and Tanzania. About half of these are Sunni Muslims who adhere to the Shafi school of Islamic jurisprudence.

The Mang'anja people are very responsive to the Gospel, and Baptist work in this area is very new. The nine churches/preaching points, two pastors, and enthusiastic lay people form the foundation for exceptional church growth that will launch a Church Planting Movement among the target group.

Extractions: Maputo, the capital city, is situated on the south coast. It is gradually being rebuilt after years of war. Both it and Beira, Mozambique's second largest town, also located on the coast, are built up and have historic Mediterranean style buildings, forts and shipwrecks that make for interesting exploring. The national parks of Mozambique are Banhine and Zinave in the south, and Gorongosa north of Beira. Accommodation is predominately top end lodges, many offering activities such as diving, surfing, fishing and other watersports in the clear blue waters. On the north coast, at the mouth of a huge bay, is Pemba - another top destination with a range of watersports on its stunning waters, beautiful beaches and coral reefs. Some say the Pemba coast has the most beautiful beaches in the world. Pemba is in Cabo Delgado the most northerly province of the country and is the home of the Makonde group of people, who are concentrated on the Mueda Plateau. Pemba town sits at the mouth of the world's second largest natural harbour. The view of the bay from Pemba's heights is spectacular and there is hardly a view to compare with this place on the Southern African coast.

During the colonial period, Asian immigration was encouraged, and Asians dominated the up-country produce trade. Coming mostly from Gujurat in India, they form several groups distinguished by religious belief: the Isma'ilis, Bohras, Sikhs, Punjabis, and Goans. Since independence the Asian population has steadily declined due to emigration. The European population, never large because Tanganyika was not a settler colony, was made up primarily of English, Germans, and Greeks. In the postindependence period, a proliferation of different European, North American, and Japanese expatriates connected with foreign aid projects have made Tanzania their temporary residence.

Extractions: Jump to: Introduction Facts for the Traveler When to Go Events ... Maps Time and tide have not been kind to Mozambique. A long, horrific civil war has scarred the country, shattered its infrastructure and left a million land mines scattered about the countryside. Much of its wildlife, including big game such as elephants and rhinos, has been decimated by war, and cyclones have ravaged its coastline. Droughts and floods take turns rubbing salt in Mozambique's wounds. Mozambicans are putting the past behind them and are rebuilding their country at a remarkable pace. Discussions between the government and the opposition have resulted in an easing of tension. It's now possible to travel in relative safety, though getting around does require keeping your wits about you. And there's a fair number of things to see, including world-renowned beaches, World Heritage sites, funky colonial architecture and colorful local culture. It has been estimated that more than one million land mines - laid by both sides during the war - remain unexploded in Mozambique. Some minefields have warning signs, but most are unmarked and often only get discovered when someone gets blown to bits. For this reason it is simply not safe to go wandering off into the bush anywhere without first seeking local advice - and even then your safety isn't guaranteed. Stay on roads and well-worn tracks where other people have obviously gone before.

AXIS GALLERY / ARCHIVE / MARAVI During the mid1800s, the Maravi peoples were invaded by the because it combated bothslavery and indigenous tradition with the masks of the makonde and Chokwe http://www.axisgallery.com/exhibitions/maravi/
Extractions: November 2 - December 1, 2001 The Maravi peoples, who comprise three main mask-producing groups (Chewa, Nyanja, and Manganja), have been settled in the region of Malawi since at least 1550. Masks were made by the mens' secret society, called Nyau, to which all men belonged. Nyau is thought to have existed for several centuries among the Chewa, the senior branch of the Maravi, before spreading to the southernmost Maravi, the Mang'anja, after 1875. The majority of the masks on exhibition were collected in the Chewa heartland between the 1950s and early 1980s, but made considerably earlier. During the mid-1800s, the Maravi peoples were invaded by the warlike Ngoni, who fled Shaka's Zulu Kingdom in South Africa, and by Muslim slave traders, who decimated and depopulated the region. In the 1860s David Livingston estimated that 19,000 slaves from Malawi were exported from Zanzibar each year, and it is estimated that a far larger number of captives died annually in the caravans bound for the coast. The missionaries who followed in Livingstone's footsteps established a strong foothold in Malawi. Christianity was a mixed blessing, because it combated both slavery and indigenous tradition. As Christianity made inroads, particularly in the 20th century, men refused to join Nyau, and compulsory membership could no longer be enforced. Among Maravi, men governed the spiritual realm of death and the ancestors through Nyau, while women controlled life and regeneration. The Nyau Society performed both wooden and ephemeral masks during initiations, funerals, and at certain other important events. Nyau performances allowed the worlds of the living and the dead to interact during several days of festivities. Rules governed when each mask appeared, and the movements and songs it performed. All of these rules and the making and storage of the masks were strictly secret.
