Growing up, Grandpa told me about a tradition which he participated in his community. during this period, no woman is allowed to come out because it's forbidden.

If you cannot absorb it, don't read further.

The Chief priest or rather the "juju man" will get pregnant that night with the help of some incantations and charms, thereafter put to birth that night. The baby is then cooked and eaten by the men present that night.

Other traditional that have the most interesting ritual practice is the

The Festival of the Dead

In Malawi, during the burial ceremony of a tribe member, the body of the deceased is moved to a sacred place where the throat is cut open and water is poured into the body. The water is then squeezed out of the deceased and then used to prepare a meal for the whole community. The significance is that the dead has been cleaned up of his or her iniquities.

Other strong cultural beliefs and practices Africans are being known for are;

• The lip plates of the Mursi

• The spitting of the Maasai

• The wedding Ceremony of the Ndebele

• Bull jumping in Ethiopia and so on

Some are still practiced till date, while others are abolished.
