CULTURAL EXPERIENCE
and fun activities. Delegates discover their African
names and are divided into indigenous teams. They
learn to:
� Spear throw and stick fight;
�� The fun of competing in a traditional African
drinking game, which teaches the traditional
etiquette of beer drinking while competing to
break the Ukhamba.
�� Treasure hunt – search for the magic Ukhamba.
� Participative storytelling – join the Umlandelo
around the fire.
�� Take a walk through the villages and then there is
lots of action as each team sounds their own
particular African instrument to signal that they
can answer questions based on their homestead
experience.
Conference venues are dedicated to Shaka’s father –
Sensakhakona, another a tribute to the Tswana people
– Gaditshweni and Ndabankulu – the great meeting
place. To add to this African affair, each conference is
opened and blessed by the Sangoma.
Lesedi, through its founder and director Kingsley
Holgate, contributes towards the “One Net One Life”
malaria prevention campaign. While Kingsley himself
has recently returned from his “Boundless Southern
Africa Expedition”, the theme for the expedition was
“Nature, Culture and Community.”
Community initiatives included:
�� Boundless soccer challenges;
�� Boundless art competitions; and
�� Boundless wildlife quizzes.
�� Mobile libraries,
�� Lap top desks and life drinking straws were
distributed hand to hand alongside education
with on-going Rite to Sight and One Net One Life
campaigns.
