One of the sad truths about urbanization in Africa has been the fact that, with the introduction of modern cities and westernized ways of life, Africans have become less and less responsible towards their greatest asset as Africans. The environment!

Of course and without a doubt there has been a great need for urbanization but it was always hoped that we would never lose that touch that proclaimed that we were indeed distinctly African.  That has always been the feeling one got when they observed imagery that portrayed the world’s most beautiful landscapes and untouched lands. 

“This must be Africa” people would say. Imagery of rare animals and of unchartered territories. 

South Africa specifically, boasted to all of its amazing territories and ever growing cities. We had managed to create a touch of the western world without having harmed what was distinctly African and people loved it.
