African culture has been fading away as days go by. People tend to follow the colonizers and there way of life. This is kind unfortunate for the growth of African culture and way of belief to the coming generation and the next.

CORRUPTION IN AFRICA TODAY

Corruption in Africa: About 75 million people pay bribes in Africa every day

 58% of Africans say that corruption has increased over the years. This is particularly the case in South Africa where more than four-in-five citizens (83%) say they have seen corruption rise recently.It is to our notice that this dreadful disease has ceased to have a cure .

Across the region, the police and business executives are seen to have the highest levels of corruption. The police have regularly been rated as highly corrupt, but the strongly negative assessment of business executives is a new development.This also applies to the judiciary systems who top as one of the most corrupt institutions.

Existence of life leaders has greatly increased not only persistent corruption,mismanagement of public funds,acts against humanity,but has also crippled our God blessed African economies with inflation,income inequality and poor education and medical welfare
An investigation into South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has found evidence of possible corruption at the top level of his government.

Mr Zuma is accused of an improper relationship with wealthy businessmen.

He had tried to block the release of the report, but dropped his court bid on Wednesday.

The president and leader of the governing African National Congress (ANC) has been dogged by corruption allegations for more than a decade, but has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

Police fired water cannon to disperse protesters who marched on Mr Zuma's main office in Pretoria to demand his resignation.

The 355-page report by former anti-corruption chief Thuli Madonsela is entitled "State of Capture" and is illustrated on its front page with a hand strung with puppet wires.

Deputy Finance Minister Mcebisi Jonas is quoted in the report as saying that businessman Ajay Gupta offered him 600m rand ($44.6m; £36.2m) last year, "to be deposited in an account of his choice", if he accepted the post of finance minister.

Mr Gupta also asked him if he had "a bag which he could use to receive and carry 600,000 rand in cash immediately", Mr Jonas alleged, adding that Mr Zuma's son, Duduzane, was present at the meeting.

The Gupta family is close to President Zuma, and the two have been nicknamed by the opposition as the "Zuptas".

There is no doubt that should the inquiry recommend that Mr Zuma be censured, there would be grounds for impeachment.

The loyal MPs have overcome many attempts by the opposition to have a vote of no confidence in the president.

Mr Zuma lives to fight another day but he must surely be nearing the last of his nine lives.

An earlier statement from the president's office said the decision to abandon a court bid to block the report's release was made "in the interest of justice and speedy resolution of the matter".

The culture of Africa is varied and manifold, consisting of a mixture of tribes that each have their own unique characteristics. It is a product of the diverse populations that today inhabit the continent of Africa and the African Diaspora. African culture is expressed in its arts and crafts, folklore and religion, clothing, cuisine, music and languages. Africa is so full of culture, with it not only changing from one country to another, but within a single country, many cultures can be discovered. Even though African cultures are widely diverse, it is also, when closely studied, seen to have many similarities. For example, the morals they uphold, their love and respect for their culture as well as the strong respect they hold for the aged and the important i.e. Kings and Chiefs.
