Mayfair Digital Agency

Sinopse

The advent of social media has sparked a transformative shift in the landscape of political movements and activism. This digital platform has emerged as a powerful tool for fostering social change and mobilizing masses. By providing instantaneous connectivity and a global audience, social media enables activists to transcend geographical barriers and amplify their messages. Platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram facilitate the rapid dissemination of information, making it easier to coordinate protests, raise awareness, and garner support for various causes. However, the impact of social media on activism is a double-edged sword, as it can also spread misinformation and polarization. The ability to organize swiftly through online channels has been showcased in movements like the Arab Spring and Black Lives Matter, signifying the pivotal role social media plays in shaping the course of modern socio-political dynamics. As technology evolves, understanding how to harness the potential of social media for constructive activism while mitigating its drawbacks remains a critical challenge.

Hombakazi Mercy Nqandeka

'Eli linge libaluleke kakhulu kumzi ontsundu olahlekileyo. Xa sivuselela izinto zenkcubeko yethu esalahlekana nazo ngonoquku, mhla kwafika iintlanga zasemzini.' – Dr Loyiso Nqevu
Returning to the family homestead in the Eastern Cape for the holidays, and worried that your city ways and less than perfect knowledge of Xhosa culture will get you a wagging finger in the face from ooMalume – the uncles?
No need to fret. Don't Upset ooMalume! captures the essence of Xhosa heritage and culture, and explores different aspects of village life. It covers a range of topics, from major Xhosa life ceremonies and traditional clothing, to the significance of uronta (the rondavel) and ubuhlanti (the kraal). Not forgetting the importance of traditional food, the author describes popular dishes, edible forage and even medicinal plants.
This book was born from writer and agriculturalist Hombakazki Mercy Nqandeka's concern that aspects of Xhosa heritage will be lost to future generations. By interweaving her guide to Xhosa culture with stories from her daily life at Mqele and Bulungula villages, and lessons taught to her by her mother and her late grandmothers, she hopes to help reconnect Xhosa people to their roots.
Akukho nto imnandi ngathi kukungeqiwa ziindaba xa kuncokolwa ngesiXhosa esintsokothileyo nesineziqhulo. Bathi bezincokolela abantu abadala bexuba nakwintetho yokuhlonipha ube usiva yonke into abayithethayo. Oko kubonisa ukuzingca nokuzingomba isifuba ngolwimi lakho lesiXhosa.
Le ncwadi yenzelwe abantu abasithandayo isiXhosa nabafuna ukufunda nzulu ngolwimi nenkcubeko yesiXhosa. Ungabadanisi ooMalume, lola isiXhosa sakho ngale ncwadi.
