Answer the following questions related to the article above based on the knowledge you have
gained during the semester surrounding key concepts such as culture, identity and Ubuntu.
Think about the traditional role of women in your culture. What is your opinion of women
performing duties such as tracking, removing snares, making arrests, protecting wildlife,
etc.? As shown in totemic ideas and practices, animals play key roles in the identity construction of
individuals, clans, and ethnic groups (Olupona, 2008). Do you think the name Black Mambas
is appropriate or fitting for this group? Motivate your answer. Some poachers consult traditional healers before entering a reserve to get muti, making them
invisible to rangers and dangerous animals (Cesare, 2017; Martin, 2017). What is the role of
traditional healers in your community, or has it been substituted with modern healthcare? “If we do not do something to prevent it, Africa’s animals, and the places in which they live,
will be lost to our world, and her children, forever.” – Nelson Mandela. Do you believe that
African wildlife forms a significant part of your identity as an African? How can the concept of Ubuntu be applied to combat the issue of rhino poaching in South
Africa? Listen to (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCeLwTITRoQ) or read
(https://www.justice.gov.za/legislation/constitution/history/MEDIA/ANC.PDF) the moving
speech of former President Thabo Mbeki about the essence of African identity. Select one
paragraph from the speech that profoundly resonates with you. Reflect on why this part of the speech touched you and its personal significance. Your final reflection is very important and should entail at least 300 words. Tell us what you
have learned from this module about how language influences who you are and how you
behave. Discuss, with the use of examples how you have changed your view of language use
during this module. Discuss everything that you have learned during this module, including
the significance of core concepts such as Language, Identity, interpersonal relationships, and
Ubuntu.
