Summary

Brace yourself for a thrilling journey into the heart of black life and culture through the philosophy of Hibirism, masterminded by Donald Mokgale and Ernest Nkomotje.
Hibirism, noun: Derived from the social greeting 'hibiri', made famous by the South African song Sister Bethina (a hit by musician Mgarimbe in 2006), Hibirism adds depth and meaning to the salutation and signifier 'hibiri'. The goal is to explain some of the underlying reasons behind our actions and uncover profound insights within the experiences of black life. Ultimately, Hibirism transforms an empty signifier into a noun, referring to a specific philosophy or set of ideas that elevate social situations and challenge existing norms.
This book contains humorous anecdotes, thought-provoking ideas, witty banter, and profound observations on black life, showcasing Hibirism at play. The book also shows how Hibirism can be used as a tool for creative problem-solving as it probes deeper into conventions to unearth insights like no other framework.
Among many captivating topics, they embark on a quest to discover the perfect vetkoek (igwinya), draw parallels between the arrangement of atoms and four-four masihlalisane (a seating arrangement in local taxis), offer a deep dive into the Amapiano movement, and even share the tale of Bobby, a beloved township dog known to survive on nothing but a diet of pap and H2O.
If you are an individual or a business aiming to deepen your understanding and build a more meaningful connection with the black world, Introducing Hibirism is for you.
Join the movement. Hibiri.

    Aotearoa New Zealand, located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, is a country with a rich and diverse history that stretches back over a thousand years. Its historical and cultural journey has been shaped by the convergence of Māori and European influences, which has made Aotearoa one of the most unique nations in the world. The story of Aotearoa is not just one of migration and colonization but also of resilience, adaptation, and the constant negotiation of identity, land, and culture. 
The Māori people, the indigenous inhabitants of New Zealand, arrived from eastern Polynesia in several waves of migration around the 13th century. Over the centuries, they developed a sophisticated culture, which included a rich oral tradition, strong tribal structures, and deep spiritual and cultural ties to the land. The Māori worldview was shaped by the concept of whenua (land), whakapapa (genealogy), and wairua (spirit), and their connection to the environment played a fundamental role in shaping their social and cultural practices. 
The arrival of Europeans, led by explorers such as Abel Tasman in 1642 and Captain James Cook in 1769, marked a turning point in New Zealand’s history. Initial encounters between Māori and Europeans were characterized by curiosity, exchange, and occasional conflict. However, as European settlement expanded throughout the 19th century, the effects on Māori society became profound. The introduction of new technologies, ideas, and diseases, coupled with land confiscation and colonization, reshaped the cultural landscape of the country. This period led to the displacement of Māori from their ancestral lands and the beginning of a long history of legal and political struggles to protect their rights and sovereignty.

    "...you realise that all along there was something tremendous within you, and you did not know it."

Perhaps one of the ways to describe Paramahansa Yogananda is that he was an Indian monk who gifted Kriya Yoga to the world. There are other great things about him: that he was among the first monks to settle in the US, that he was among the first yogis who were sent by his guru Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, to spread the teaching of yoga to the west, that he strove hard to balance between Western material growth and Indian spirituality and that the yoga culture of Los Angeles, led him to be considered by yoga experts as the "Father of Yoga in the West. Yogananda's journey, the fact that he was the yogi who introduced millions to the teachings of meditation and Kriya Yoga through his organization Self-Realization Fellowship and Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, and the fact that unlike most other monks, has not been riddled with controversies, is a journey full of mysticism.
