query: Some people in Tanzania speak Swahili.

pos: Tanzania Tanzania -LSB- ˌtænzəˈniːə -RSB- , officially the United Republic of Tanzania ( Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania ) , is a country in Eastern Africa within the African Great Lakes region . Parts of the country are in Southern Africa . It is bordered by Kenya and Uganda to the north ; Rwanda , Burundi , and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west ; Zambia , Malawi , and Mozambique to the south ; and by the Indian Ocean to the east . Mount Kilimanjaro , Africa 's highest mountain , is in northeastern Tanzania .   Tanzania 's population of 51.82 million ( 2014 ) is diverse , composed of several ethnic , linguistic , and religious groups . Tanzania is a presidential constitutional republic , and since 1996 , its official capital city has been Dodoma , where the President 's Office , the National Assembly , and some government ministries are located . Dar es Salaam , the former capital , retains most government offices and is the country 's largest city , principal port , and leading commercial centre . Tanzania is a one party dominant state with the socialist-progressive Chama Cha Mapinduzi ( CCM ) party in power . From its formation until 1992 , it was the only legally permitted party in the country . This changed on 1 July 1992 , when amendments to the Constitution and a number of laws permitting and regulating the formation and operations of more than one political party were enacted by the National Assembly . Elections for president and all National Assembly seats were last held in October 2015 . The CCM holds approximately 75 % of the seats in the assembly .   Prehistoric population migrations include Southern Cushitic speakers , who are ancestral to the Iraqw , Gorowa , and Burunge and who moved south from Ethiopia into Tanzania . Based on linguistic evidence , there may also have been two movements into Tanzania of Eastern Cushitic people at about 4,000 and 2,000 years ago , originating from north of Lake Turkana . Archaeological evidence supports the conclusion that Southern Nilotes , including the Datoog , moved south from the present-day South Sudan-Ethiopia border region into central northern Tanzania between 2,900 and 2,400 years ago . These movements took place at about the same time as the settlement of the iron-making Mashariki Bantu from West Africa in the Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika areas . They brought with them the west African planting tradition and the primary staple of yams . They subsequently migrated out of these regions across the rest of Tanzania , between 2,300 and 1,700 years ago . European colonialism began in mainland Tanzania during the late 19th century when Germany formed German East Africa , which gave way to British rule following World War I . The mainland was governed as Tanganyika , with the Zanzibar Archipelago remaining a separate colonial jurisdiction . Following their respective independence in 1961 and 1963 , the two entities merged in April 1964 to form the United Republic of Tanzania .   Tanzania is mountainous and densely forested in the northeast , where Mount Kilimanjaro is located . Three of Africa 's Great Lakes are partly within Tanzania . To the north and west lie Lake Victoria , Africa 's largest lake , and Lake Tanganyika , the continent 's deepest lake , known for its unique species of fish . The eastern shore is hot and humid , with the Zanzibar Archipelago just offshore . The Kalambo water falls in the southwestern region of Rukwa are the second highest uninterrupted fall in Africa and are located near the southeastern shore of Lake Tanganyika on the border with Zambia . The Menai Bay Conservation Area is Zanzibar 's largest marine protected area .   Over 100 different languages are spoken in Tanzania , making it the most linguistically diverse country in East Africa . Among the languages spoken in Tanzania are all four of Africa 's language families : Bantu , Cushitic , Nilotic , and Khoisan . Swahili and English are Tanzania 's official languages . A highly multilingual country , Swahili is used in parliamentary debate , in the lower courts , and as a medium of instruction in primary school ; and English is used in foreign trade , in diplomacy , in higher courts , and as a medium of instruction in secondary and higher education , although the Tanzanian government plans to discontinue English as a language of instruction altogether . In connection with his Ujamaa social policies , President Nyerere encouraged the use of Swahili ; as a means of unifying the country 's many ethnic groups . Approximately 10 % of Tanzanians speak Swahili as a first language , and up to 90 % speak it as a second language . Most Tanzanians thus speak both Swahili and a local language ; many educated Tanzanians are trilingual ; also speaking English . The widespread use and promotion of Swahili is contributing to the decline of smaller languages in the country . Young children increasingly speak Swahili as a first language , mostly in urban areas .   Tanzania-Malawi relations have been tense because of a dispute over the countries ' Lake Nyasa ( Lake Malawi ) border . An unsuccessful mediation regarding this issue happened in March 2014 . The two countries agreed in 2013 to ask the International Court of Justice ( ICJ ) to resolve the dispute should mediation be unsuccessful . Malawi , but not Tanzania , has accepted the compulsory jurisdiction of the ICJ .

neg: Swahili literature Swahili literature is , generally speaking , literature written in the Swahili language , particularly by Swahili people of the East African coast and the neighboring islands . It may also refer to literature written by people who write in the Swahili language . It is an offshoot of the Bantu culture .   The first literary works date back to the beginning of the 18th century , when all Swahili literature was written in the Arabic script . Jan Knappert considered the translation of the Arabic poem Hamziya from the year 1652 to be the earliest Swahili written text . Starting in the 19th century , missionaries and orientalists introduced the Latin script for writing the Swahili language .

neg: Afrikaans Afrikaans ( -LSB- ˌæfrᵻˈkɑːns , _ ˌɑːfri - , _ - ˈkɑːnts , _ - ˈkɑːnz -RSB- ) is a West Germanic language spoken in South Africa , Namibia and , to a lesser extent , Botswana and Zimbabwe . It evolved from the Dutch vernacular of South Holland ( Hollandic dialect ) spoken by the mainly Dutch settlers of what is now South Africa , where it gradually began to develop distinguishing characteristics in the course of the 18th century . Hence , it is a daughter language of Dutch , and was previously referred to as `` Cape Dutch '' ( a term also used to refer collectively to the early Cape settlers ) or `` kitchen Dutch '' ( a derogatory term used to refer to Afrikaans in its earlier days ) . However , it is also variously described as a creole or as a partially creolised language.Afrikaans is a daughter language of Dutch ; see , , , , , . Afrikaans was historically called Cape Dutch ; see , , , , , . Afrikaans is rooted in seventeenth century dialects of Dutch ; see , , , . Afrikaans is variously described as a creole , a partially creolised language , or a deviant variety of Dutch ; see . The term is ultimately derived from Dutch Afrikaans-Hollands meaning `` African Dutch '' . It is the first language of most of the Afrikaners and Coloureds of Southern Africa .   Although Afrikaans has adopted words from other languages , including Portuguese , the Bantu languages , Malay , German and the Khoisan languages , an estimated 90 to 95 % of Afrikaans vocabulary is of Dutch origin .  Therefore , differences with Dutch often lie in the more analytic morphology and grammar of Afrikaans , and a spelling that expresses Afrikaans pronunciation rather than standard Dutch . There is a large degree of mutual intelligibility between the two languages -- especially in written form .   With about 7 million native speakers in South Africa , or 13.5 % of the population , it is the third-most-spoken language in the country . It has the widest geographical and racial distribution of all the eleven official languages of South Africa , and is widely spoken and understood as a second or third language . It is the majority language of the western half of South Africa -- the provinces of the Northern Cape and Western Cape -- and the first language of 75.8 % of Coloured South Africans ( 3.4 million people ) , 60.8 % of White South Africans ( 2.7 million ) and at 4.6 % the second most spoken first-language among Asian South Africans ( 58,000 ) . About 1.5 % of black South Africans ( 600,000 people ) speak it as their first language . Large numbers of speakers of Bantu languages and English-speaking South Africans also speak it as their second language . It is taught in schools , with about 10.3 million second-language students . One reason for the expansion of Afrikaans is its development in the public realm : it is used in newspapers , radio programs , TV , and several translations of the Bible have been published since the first one was completed in 1933 .   In neighbouring Namibia , Afrikaans is widely spoken as a second language and used as a lingua franca , while as a native language it is spoken in 10.4 % of households , mainly concentrated in the capital Windhoek , Walvis Bay , Swakopmund and the southern regions of Hardap and ǁKaras . It , along with German , was among the official languages of Namibia until the country became independent in 1990 , 25 % of the population of Windhoek spoke Afrikaans at home . Both Afrikaans and German survive as recognised regional languages in the country , although only English has official status within the government .   Estimates of the total number of Afrikaans speakers range between 15 and 23 million .

neg: Kwavi people The Kwavi are a pastoralist ethnic and linguistic group based in Tanzania , with a 1957 census population of 7,378 . They are the principal speakers of the Kwavi language .   The Kwavi are related to the Maasai . Though little has been written about them , they were the subject of a 1974 Master 's thesis at the University of Dar es Salaam by Douglas Ndagala , `` Social and Economic Change among the Pastoral Wakwavi and Its Impact on Rural Development . '' At least one author , however , denies their existence as a distinct ethnic group , while another research paper gives the names Ilparakuyo and Baraguyu as apparent synonyms for Kwavi .   The Kwavi basically refer to a cultural or occupational group . This term is also used in Kenya and it is used to refer to groups of people related to the Akamba people .   The Kwavi of Tanzania are not basically a separate ethnic group per se but a people within an ethnic group who have a particular preoccupation . Wakwavi are basically pastoral but do also have elements of agricultural , as such , they are a sedentary people with a heavy bias to pastoralism . Wakwavi of Tanzania were looked upon as being Gogo people with whom they shared the same language .   With time , due to loss of livestock and consequential pauperism , many have changed their preoccupation and have become agriculturist and as such now not discernible from the other Gogo people . They were mistaken as Masaai , whom they were not , for although they had Masaai features of dressing , they had not their ornament , they did not use ochre as the Masaai , nor did plait their hair long like the Masaai . And although the blanket featured just as the Masaai , their nakedness was not exposed as the Masaai .   However , unlike other Gogos , they pierced and elongated their earlobes , this though is not limited to the Masaai .   The Kwavi being part of the Gogo group is an indication of the emergence of the Gogo tribe which basically is not a tribe but a Nation . The Gogo is a modern agglomerate group , the different sections being brought together by the great leader Mazengo . The group is made up of such elements as Wakaguru this gave rise to the Gogo people around Mpwapwa and just like the Wakaguru are characterised as being agriculturist , you have the Gogo of Western Gogoland who are more like their western neighbours the Konongo and the southern Gogos , who are a mixture of the agro-pastralist Wasangu and agriculturist Hehe .   The Wakwavi origins have been attributed to conflicting sources , most people claimed that they were of Masaai influence , namely referring to Parakuo Masaai influence , another school of thought point to a common origin with the Hadzabe and even Nyaturu .   An alternative view is that the term Wakwavi ( or Kwafi ) is a Swahili corruption of the Maa iloonkuapi ( ` people of other lands ' ) . Among Maasai , this is a relative term that is applied to other Maasai-speaking groups or sections who are not close allies : if section A regard section B as iloonkuapi , then B may apply the same term to A , implying mutual mistrust . The confusion appears to stem from an early work by the coastal missionary Ludwig Krapf , whose Maasai informant wished to distance himself from those Maasai who were responsible for raids on the Swahili coast . He described them as iloonkuapi , and Krapf assumed that they were other Maa-speaking peoples who were deadly enemies of the Maasai proper , regarding iloonkuapi as an absolute term rather than a reciprocal one . Subsequent visitors to the area followed Krapf 's account and the name Wakwavi became established , randomly applied to ethnic groups who were neighbours of the Maasai proper and shared their culture up to a point .

neg: Transkei The Transkei ( -LSB- trɑːnsˈkeɪ , _ - ˈkaɪ , _ trænz - -RSB- , meaning the area beyond -LSB- the river -RSB- Kei ) , officially the Republic of Transkei ( iRiphabliki yeTranskei ) , was a Bantustan -- an area set aside for members of a specific ethnicity -- and nominal parliamentary democracy in the southeastern region of South Africa . Its capital was Umtata , which was renamed Mthatha in 2004 .   Transkei represented a significant precedent and historic turning point in South Africa 's policy of apartheid and `` separate development '' ; it was the first of four territories to be declared independent of South Africa . Throughout its existence , it remained an internationally unrecognised , diplomatically isolated , politically unstable de facto one-party state , which at one point broke relations with South Africa , the only country that acknowledged it as a legal entity . In 1994 , it was reintegrated into its larger neighbour and became part of the Eastern Cape province .

neg: Zambia Zambia ( -LSB- ˈzæmbiə -RSB- ) , officially the Republic of Zambia , is a landlocked country in Southern Africa , neighbouring the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north , Tanzania to the north-east , Malawi to the east , Mozambique , Zimbabwe , Botswana and Namibia to the south , and Angola to the west . The capital city is Lusaka , in the south-central part of Zambia . The population is concentrated mainly around Lusaka in the south and the Copperbelt Province to the northwest , the core economic hubs of the country .   Originally inhabited by Khoisan peoples , the region was affected by the Bantu expansion of the thirteenth century . After visits by European explorers in the eighteenth century , Zambia became the British protectorate of Northern Rhodesia towards the end of the nineteenth century . For most of the colonial period , Zambia was governed by an administration appointed from London with the advice of the British South Africa Company .   On 24 October 1964 , Zambia became independent of the United Kingdom and prime minister Kenneth Kaunda became the inaugural president . Kaunda 's socialist United National Independence Party ( UNIP ) maintained power from 1964 until 1991 . Kaunda played a key role in regional diplomacy , cooperating closely with the United States in search of solutions to conflicts in Rhodesia ( Zimbabwe ) , Angola , and Namibia . From 1972 to 1991 Zambia was a one-party state with the UNIP as the sole legal political party under the motto `` One Zambia , One Nation '' . Kaunda was succeeded by Frederick Chiluba of the social-democratic Movement for Multi-Party Democracy in 1991 , beginning a period of social-economic growth and government decentralisation . Levy Mwanawasa , Chiluba 's chosen successor , presided over Zambia from January 2002 until his death in August 2008 , and is credited with campaigns to reduce corruption and increase the standard of living . After Mwanawasa 's death , Rupiah Banda presided as Acting President before being elected President in 2008 . Holding office for only three years , Banda stepped down after his defeat in the 2011 elections by Patriotic Front party leader Michael Sata . Sata died on 28 October 2014 , the second Zambian president to die in office . Guy Scott served briefly as interim president until new elections were held on 20 January 2015 , in which Edgar Lungu was elected as the sixth President .   In 2010 , the World Bank named Zambia one of the world 's fastest economically reformed countries . The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa ( COMESA ) is headquartered in Lusaka .

neg: Banyamulenge Banyamulenge , sometimes called `` Tutsi Congolese '' , is a term historically referring to the ethnic Tutsi concentrated on the High Plateau of South Kivu , in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo , close to the Burundi-Congo-Rwanda border .   The Banyamulenge form a minority of the South Kivu population . Rival ethnic groups in the late 1990s claimed the Banyamulenge numbered no more than 35,000 , while the Banyamulenge sympathizers claim up to ten times that number . The population of Banyamulenge in the early 21st century is estimated at between 50,000 and 70,000 by René Lemarchand or by Gérard Prunier at around 60,000 -- 80,000 , a figure about 3 -- 4 percent of the total provincial population .   Lemarchand notes that the group represents `` a rather unique case of ethnogenesis . '' The Banyamulenge of South Kivu are culturally and socially distinct from the Tutsis of North Kivu and the Tutsis who fled to South Kivu in the 1959 -- 1962 Rwandan revolution . Most Banyamulenge speak Kinyarwanda , and those that do speak it with a dialect different from other Tutsi groups . The ambiguous political and social position of the Banyamulenge has been a point of contention in the province , leading to the Banyamulenge playing a key role in the run-up to the First Congo War in 1996 -- 7 and Second Congo War of 1998 -- 2003 .

neg: Ikizu language Ikizu ( Ikikizu , Kiikiizo ) is a Bantu language spoken by the Ikizu peoples of Tanzania . Dialects are Ikizu proper and Sizaki . Maho ( 2009 ) treats Sizaki ( Shashi ) as a separate language . However , Ethnologue 16 retired the ISO code for Sizaki , merging it into Ikizu .

neg: Sub-Saharan Africa Sub-Saharan Africa is , geographically , the area of the continent of Africa that lies south of the Sahara . According to the UN , it consists of all African countries that are fully or partially located south of the Sahara . It contrasts with North Africa , whose territories are part of the League of Arab states within the Arab world . Somalia , Djibouti , Comoros and Mauritania are geographically in Sub-Saharan Africa , but are likewise Arab states and part of the Arab world .   The Sahel is the transitional zone between the Sahara and the tropical savanna ( the Sudan region ) and forest-savanna mosaic to the south .   Since probably 3500 BCE , the Saharan and Sub-Saharan regions of Africa have been separated by the extremely harsh climate of the sparsely populated Sahara , forming an effective barrier interrupted by only the Nile in Sudan , though the Nile was blocked by the river 's cataracts . The Sahara pump theory explains how flora and fauna ( including Homo sapiens ) left Africa to penetrate the Middle East and beyond . African pluvial periods are associated with a `` wet Sahara '' phase during which larger lakes and more rivers existed .   The use of the term has been criticized because it refers to the South only by cartography conventions and projects a connotation of inferiority ; a vestige of colonialism , which some say , divided Africa into European terms of homogeneity .

neg: Trade unions in Tanzania The trade unions of Tanzania have a total membership of approximately 370,000 . 350,000 of these belong to the Trade Union Congress of Tanzania , another 15,000 to the Zanzibar Trade Union Congress , and 2,400 are members of the Tanzania Fishing Crew and Allied Workers ' Union .

neg: Mozambique Mozambique ( -LSB- moʊzæmˈbiːk -RSB- or -LSB- mɔːzæmˈbiːk -RSB- ) , officially the Republic of Mozambique ( Moçambique or República de Moçambique , -LSB- rɛˈpublikɐ dɨ musɐ̃ˈbikɨ -RSB- ) is a country in Southeast Africa bordered by the Indian Ocean to the east , Tanzania to the north , Malawi and Zambia to the northwest , Zimbabwe to the west , and Swaziland and South Africa to the southwest . It is separated from Madagascar by the Mozambique Channel to the east . The capital and largest city is Maputo ( known as `` Lourenço Marques '' before independence ) .   Between the 1st and 5th centuries AD , Bantu-speaking peoples migrated from farther north and west . Swahili ( and later Arab ) commercial ports existed along the coasts until the arrival of Europeans . The area was explored by Vasco da Gama in 1498 and colonised by Portugal from 1505 . The country was an important place where Somali merchants enslaved the local population , starting what is now known as the Somali slave trade . After over four centuries of Portuguese rule , Mozambique gained independence in 1975 , becoming the People 's Republic of Mozambique shortly thereafter . After only two years of independence , the country descended into an intense and protracted civil war lasting from 1977 to 1992 . In 1994 , Mozambique held its first multiparty elections and has remained a relatively stable presidential republic . However , since 2013 , following more than 20 years of peace , a renewed insurgency by RENAMO has been occurring .   Mozambique is one of the poorest and most underdeveloped countries in the world . Mozambique is endowed with rich and extensive natural resources . The country 's economy is based largely on agriculture , but industry is growing , mainly food and beverages , chemical manufacturing , and aluminium and petroleum production . The country 's tourism sector is also growing . South Africa is Mozambique 's main trading partner and source of foreign direct investment . Belgium , Brazil , Portugal , and Spain are also among the country 's most important economic partners . Since 2001 , Mozambique 's annual average GDP growth has been among the world 's highest . However , the country ranks among the lowest in GDP per capita , human development , measures of inequality , and average life expectancy .   The only official language of Mozambique is Portuguese , which is spoken mostly as a second language by about half of the population . Common native languages include Makhuwa , Sena , and Swahili . The country 's population of around 24 million is composed overwhelmingly of Bantu people . The largest religion in Mozambique is Christianity , with significant minorities following Islam and African traditional religions . Mozambique is a member of the African Union , the Commonwealth of Nations , the Community of Portuguese Language Countries , the Latin Union , the Non-Aligned Movement , and the Southern African Development Community , and is an observer at La Francophonie .

neg: Kwavi dialect Kwavi is the dialect of Maasai spoken by the Kwavi people ( a.k.a. Parakuyo or Baraguyu ) of Tanzania . According to Hurskainen ( 1994 ) , `` The Parakuyo ( earlier also called Ilparakuyo , Baraguyu , Kwavi , Lumbwa , and Iloikop ) are a Maa-speaking ethnic group scattered over a large area in the northeastern and central parts of Tanzania '' , while Beidelman ( 1960 ) confirms that `` Kwavi '' and `` Baraguyu '' are synonymous .

neg: Tanzanian sign languages Seven or so Tanzanian sign languages were developed independently among deaf students in separate Tanzanian schools for the Deaf starting in 1963 , though use of several is forbidden by their schools . In 1984 , a standardized Tanzanian Sign Language was proposed by the Tanzania Association for the Deaf , using common or similar signs where these exist in the schools which allowed research , but it has not been officially implemented , and there remains little influence between the languages . A dictionary has been produced .   The common Swahili name in Tanzania for these languages is Lugha ya Alama . ( The name Lugha ya Bubu is also used , but is reported by Ethnologue to be pejorative . )

neg: Sangu people The Sangu , at times called Rori ( People of the Steppes ) , are an ethnic and linguistic group based in Mbeya Region , Tanzania . By 1907 the Sangu numbers were thought to be about 30,000 . In 1987 the Sangu population was estimated to number 75,000 .   Before the coming of the Ngoni , an African group along the coast , the southern highlands had no political unit larger than clan chiefdom . The clans who became known as the Sangu were probably organized into a military force in the 1830s after being attacked by outside forces . The Sangu sent slaves and ivory to representatives of the coast and were the first to adopt the weapons , tactics , and organization of the Ngoni and began to dominate the highlands until a civil war broke out with the death of Merere I.

neg: Kwahu Kwahu is an Akan group and area , dubbed Asaase Aban or the natural fortress , in view of its national position as the highest habitable elevation . Kwahu lies in the Eastern Region of Ghana , on the west shore of Lake Volta . They share the region with their fellow Akans the Akyems , the Adangbe-Krobos and a small sect of migrant Ewes in the Afram Plains area who double as fishing experts and caretakers in the waterfront zone . There are two common spellings of the name , Kwawu and Kwahu . The `` w '' spelling is the official spelling from the African Studies Centre , University of Ghana , and more resembles the pronunciation . The `` h '' was put in by Swiss missionaries from Basel , who added the `` h '' to ensure that Kwa , the first syllable , was not pronounced as `` eh . '' The `` h '' is not separately pronounced in the name . For Anglo-Germanic speakers , Ku-A-U may be an easier pronunciation help whilst Franco-Roman natives would say KoU-AoU with ease .   The term Kwahu also refers to the variant of Akan language spoken in this region and to the Kwahu people who come from the region , there are about 65.000 Kwahus . Except for a few variations in stress , pronunciation and syntax , there are no markers in the dialect spoken by the Kwahus , who are originally of Ashanti stock , having separated and then migrated from the Sekyere-Efiduase-Mampong area to their present settlement , joining a few others from Akyem and other ancestral Ashanti heartland The Mamponghene , who is next to the Ashanti King in hierarchy , and the Kwahumanhene , are historically cousins , hence both occupy Silver Stools with the salutation of Daasebre .   The name derives from its myths of origin , `` The slave ( awa ) died ( wu ) , '' which was based on an ancient prophecy that a slave would die so the wandering tribe of Akan would know where to settle . The myth was part of the historical stories of the Agona matriclan , the first paramount lineage of Kwawu , and was later adopted by the Bretuao-Tena matriclan ( Twidan ) who later replaced them .   The paramount chief and the royal matrilineage of the Kwawu reside at Abene , north of Abetifi on the banks of the highlands . The strategic location of Atibie and a dreaded militia that guarded the route was led by Akwamu warriors who fiercely repelled attempts by colonial forces to capture the Omanhene . Even today , the road from Abetifi to the small enclave housing the king is plied with some unease , given the stories recounted . Until their leaders seized upon the opportunities presented with the Bond of 1844 , Kwahu was thus an integral part of Ashanti Kingdom and attested by available maps of the period . It is also worthy of note : Ashanti waged punitive and protracted wars against fellow Akans including Denkyira , Akwamu , Akyem , Fanti , Assin but never fought Kwahu .  Abetifi ( Tena matriclan ) is the head of the Adonten ( vanguard ) .  Obo ( Aduana , Ada , Amoakade ) is the head of the Nifa ( Right Division )  Aduamoa ( Dwumena , Asona ) is the head of the Benkum ( Left Division ) .   As part of the Asante Empire , Kwawu had an Asante emissary , governor or ambassador at Atibie , next to Mpraeso , of the Ekuona matriclan ) . To indicate its independence from Asante in 1888 the Kwawu assassinated the Asante emissary in Atibe , about the time of the arrival of the Basel missionaries from Switzerland . Fritz Ramseyer , enroute to Kumasi with his captors , had been granted a few days of rest during a stop at Kwahu and recovered quickly from a bout of fever in the mountains . Upon gaining his freedom later from the Asantehene , he sought permission to build a Christian Mission in Abetifi , thereby placing the town on the world map and opening the area to vocational and evangelical opportunities . Obo , traditionally pro-Ashanti , led the opposition to the Swiss . It is orally told that the Kwahus chose Obo as their financial center .   In recent years , Kwahu has become the best place to celebrate Easter . Many from far away places within the borders of the country and even beyond go there to enjoy themselves . The Kwahu mountains offer an ideal spot for Paragliders to showcase their skills to the public and to share the thrills of gliding . Such events also serve as Tourist Attractions sites and generates income for the Ghanaian Economy . Characteristics of Kwahu natives are centred on economics , self-sufficiency and an incredible ability to forego short-term or immediate wants in planning for longer-term goals ; they are natural-born entrepreneurs .   Trivia : Experts in thrift , the Kwahus surprise with relative success where others fail in any manner of business , from cocoa farming to house front trading and modern service sector or manufacturing industries .  As a result , they are often thought to be wealth-creating magicians .   Until recently , they shunned political activism and are arguably under-represented in government appointments , compared with other Akan groups such as Ashanti , Fanti , Brong or Akyem .   Kwahus often wish to spend the retirement years in their mountainous home region and are more likely to marry from their tribal group and invest in a magnificent home . Choice of spouse outside the group often will depend on strategic business calculations and a willingness of the partner to relocate at old age .   Kwahus get along relatively well with others but may have special relations with the Ga of Accra who initially welcomed and supported their businesses in the post independence era . A considerable population of Northern migrants and Ewes permanently reside in Kwahu , exercising caretaker functions on lands and farms as their hosts move into the metropolitan areas to engage in micro Start-ups .

neg: Damara people The Damara , plural Damaran ( Khoekhoegowab : ǂNūkhoen , literally Black people , Berg Damara , referring to their extended stay in hilly and mountainous sites , also called at various times the Daman or the Damaqua ) are an ethnic group who make up 8.5 % of Namibia 's population . They speak the Khoekhoe language ( like the Nama people ) and the majority live in the northwestern regions of Namibia , however they are also found widely across the rest of the country . They have no known cultural relationship with any of the other ethnicities anywhere else in Africa , and very little is known of their origin . It has been proposed that the Damara are a remnant population of south-western Africa hunter-gatherers , otherwise only represented by the Cimba , Kwisi , and Kwadi , who adopted the Khoekhoe language of the immigrant Nama people .   Their name in their own language is the `` Daman '' ( where the '' - n '' is just the Khoekhoe plural ending ) . The name `` Damaqua '' stems from the addition of the Khoekhoe suffix '' - qua/khwa '' meaning `` people '' ( found in the names of other Southern African peoples like the Namaqua and the Griqua ) .   Prior to 1870 the hunter-gatherer Damaran occupied most of central Namibia they used to practice pastoralism with sheep and cattle , but were also agriculturalist planting pumpkins , corn , tobacco . The Damaran were also copper-smiths known for their ability to melt copper and used to make ornaments , jewelry , knives and spear heads out of iron . The Damaran just like the Sān believed in communal ownership of land meaning that no individual owned land as God had given land to everyone . Not to for one to own good grazing land and the other to scavenge for land but that everyone live in harmony . It was for this reason that many were displaced when the Nama and Herero began to occupy this area in search of better grazing . Thereafter the Damara were dominated by the Namaqua and the Herero , most living as servants in their households .   In 1960 , the South African government forced the Damara into the bantustan of Damaraland , an area of poor soil and irregular rainfall . About half of their numbers still occupy Damaraland .

neg: BAMUTA Baraza la Muziki la Taifa ( BAMUTA ; Swahili for `` National Music Council '' ) was a national council created in 1974 by the government of the newly independent Tanzania . Its purpose was to regulate the music business in the country , in the context of a wider programme intended to create a solidified national identity . This , in turn , was a crucial element in Ujamaa , President Julius Nyerere 's version of african socialism . Similar institutions were founded to rule over other aspects of the nation 's culture , including the nationwide adoption of Swahili language ( promoted by Baraza la Kiswahili la Taifa ) and the development of Tanzanian art ( Baraza la Sanaa la Taifa ) ( BASATA ) . The overall idea was to build a new popular culture for the workers and peasants of the country , free from the heritage of colonialism and bourgeoisie culture .   BAMUTA was responsible for the establishment of national music policies , which sought to control musical imports and issued disco and club licenses . BAMUTA called for strict government planning as well as control over the popular music in Tanzania . For example , import of foreign music was generally banned with the exception of music from Zaire .

neg: Zimbabwe Zimbabwe ( -LSB- zɪmˈbɑːbweɪ -RSB- ) , officially the Republic of Zimbabwe , is a landlocked country located in southern Africa , between the Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers . It is bordered by South Africa to the south , Botswana to the west and southwest , Zambia to the northwest , and Mozambique to the east and northeast . Although it does not border Namibia , less than 200 metres of the Zambezi River separates it from that country . The capital and largest city is Harare . A country of roughly 13 million people , Zimbabwe has 16 official languages , with English , Shona , and Ndebele the most commonly used .   Since the 11th century , present-day Zimbabwe has been the site of several organised states and kingdoms as well as a major route for migration and trade . The British South Africa Company of Cecil Rhodes first demarcated the present territory during the 1890s ; it became the self-governing British colony of Southern Rhodesia in 1923 . In 1965 , the conservative white minority government unilaterally declared independence as Rhodesia . The state endured international isolation and a 15-year guerrilla war with black nationalist forces ; this culminated in a peace agreement that established universal enfranchisement and de jure sovereignty in April 1980 . Zimbabwe then rejoined the Commonwealth of Nations -- which it withdrew from in 2003 . It is a member of the United Nations , the Southern African Development Community ( SADC ) , the African Union ( AU ) , and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa ( COMESA ) .   Robert Mugabe became Prime Minister of Zimbabwe in 1980 , when his ZANU-PF party won the elections following the end of white minority rule ; he has been the president of Zimbabwe since 1987 . Under Mugabe 's authoritarian regime , the state security apparatus has dominated the country and been responsible for widespread human rights violations . Mugabe has maintained the revolutionary socialist rhetoric from the Cold War era , blaming Zimbabwe 's economic woes on conspiring Western capitalist countries , while still executing conservative policies . Burnished by his anti-imperialist credentials , contemporary African political leaders have been reluctant to criticise Mugabe , though Archbishop Desmond Tutu has called him `` a cartoon figure of an archetypal African dictator '' .

neg: Golden Throats Golden Throats is Rhino Records ' series of humorous compilations of critically lambasted cover versions of songs , performed mostly either by celebrities known for something other than musical talent or musicians not known for the genre from which the song they are covering comes . For example , William Shatner sings ( or , more precisely , does a dramatic reading of the lyrics to ) `` Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds , '' Leonard Nimoy sings `` If I Had a Hammer , '' and Muhammad Ali sings `` Stand by Me . '' Other examples include the Bing Crosby cover of the Beatles ' `` Hey Jude '' and the Mel Tormé cover of Donovan 's `` Sunshine Superman , '' as both were rock songs being covered by musicians of an older generation . In most cases , the songs appear to be performed sincerely , rather than in a spirit of irony or intentional goofiness . In many respects , these albums were among the first to anthologize lounge music , with their focus on `` light '' versions of contemporary hits . The series ( of four albums ) was created and produced by long-time Rhino staffer Gary Peterson and pop culture historian Pat Sierchio . Each release contained liner notes penned by acclaimed music historian Irwin Chusid , and most featured original art by Drew Friedman . The cover art parodied well-known albums ( Sgt. Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band , Their Satanic Majesties Request , Sweetheart Of The Rodeo , and the Beatles ' infamous `` butcher '' cover for Yesterday And Today ) . The notoriety of the series no doubt contributed to William Shatner 's decision to relaunch his musical career .   There were a total of four albums in the series : They are :  Golden Throats : The Great Celebrity Sing Off ( LP : 1988 ; CD : 1992 )  Golden Throats 2 : More Celebrity Rock Oddities ! ( 1991 )  Golden Throats 3 : Sweethearts of Rodeo Drive ( 1995 )  Golden Throats 4 : Celebrities Butcher the Beatles ( 1997 )

neg: Louis Elliman Louis Elliman ( 1906 -- 1965 ) , was an Irish impresario and theatre manager .   Elliman was born in Dublin , a son of Maurice Elliman , who had fled from Tsarist persecution in Russia . He was educated at Synge Street CBS .   His father became involved in cinema by establishing the Theatre De Luxe in Camden St. in 1912 . After university Louis started work at a pharmacy but after a few years gave that up to become a film agent in London . In the meantime Maurice acquired Dublin 's Gaiety Theatre , which was passed on to Louis .   In the early 1930s , Louis Elliman sold a 50 % share in the Gaiety to entrepreneur Patrick Wall , a Clare man . The pair also owned the Metropole and the Savoy cinemas . Along with Patrick Wall , Elliman acquired the Theatre Royal , Dublin in 1936 . With the outbreak of the Second World War , Wall and Elliman were forced to keep the two theatres going with native talent only . This led to the emergence of a raft of Irish acts who were to provide the mainstay of the Royal 's output for the remainder of its existence . These included such Irish household names as Jimmy O'Dea , Harry O'Donovan , Maureen Potter , Danny Cummins , Mike Nolan , Alice Dalgarno , Noel Purcell , Micheál MacLiammoir , Cecil Sheridan , Jack Cruise , Paddy Crosbie and Patricia Cahill . In July 1951 Judy Garland appeared for a series of sold out performances at the Royal and was received with tremendous ovations . The legendary singer sang from her dressing room window to hundreds of people who were unable to get tickets and critics dubbed her `` America 's Colleen '' Popular Irish American entertainer Carmel Quinn also made her singing debut in the Theatre Royal during the early 1950s .   After a spell acquiring cinemas around the country , which were taken over by the Rank Organization , Louis went into film production . In 1957 he opened Ardmore Studios . With managing director Emmet Dalton he travelled to the US to promote the studios and to acquire foreign investment . The studios accordingly landed its first major foreign booking with 1959 's Shake Hands with the Devil , starring Oscar winner James Cagney and Dana Wynter . A year later progress was consolidated when Robert Mitchum appeared in Tay Garnett 's `` A Terrible Beauty '' . In 1961 , Ardmore Studios hosted the controversial `` The Mark '' , directed by Guy Green , which was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and earned its star , Stuart Whitman , an Oscar nomination . Other films produced at this time include Don Chaffey 's The Webster Boys and `` Johnny Nobody '' with Cyril Cusack . Hammer Films also utilised the studios as a base for their production , The Viking Queen . The studios went into receivership in 1963 but re-opened later .   Under pressure from rising overheads and the increasing popularity of the cinema and the introduction of television , the Theatre Royal closed its doors on 30 June 1962 .   By this time Louis was dogged by bad health and died in 1965 .

neg: Cool Hand Luke Cool Hand Luke is a 1967 American prison drama film directed by Stuart Rosenberg , starring Paul Newman and featuring George Kennedy in an Oscar-winning performance . Newman stars in the title role as Luke , a prisoner in a Florida prison camp who refuses to submit to the system .   The film , set in the early 1950s , is based on Donn Pearce 's 1965 novel of the same name . Pearce sold the story to Warner Bros. , who then hired him to write the script . Due to Pearce 's lack of film experience , the studio added Frank Pierson to rework the screenplay . Newman 's biographer Marie Edelman Borden states that the `` tough , honest '' script drew together threads from earlier movies , especially Hombre , Newman 's earlier film of 1967 . The film has been cited by Roger Ebert as an anti-establishment film which was shot during the time of the Vietnam War , in which Newman 's character endures `` physical punishment , psychological cruelty , hopelessness and equal parts of sadism and masochism . '' His influence on his prison mates and the torture that he endures is compared to that of Jesus , and Christian symbolism is used throughout the film , culminating in a photograph superimposed over crossroads at the end of the film in comparison to the crucifixion . Filming took place on the San Joaquin River Delta , and the set , imitating a southern prison farm , was built in Stockton , California . The filmmakers sent a crew to Tavares Road Prison in Tavares , Florida , to take photographs and measurements .   Upon its release , Cool Hand Luke received favorable reviews and became a box-office success . The film cemented Newman 's status as one of the era 's top box-office actors , while the film was described as the `` touchstone of an era . '' Newman was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor , George Kennedy won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor , Pearce and Pierson were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay , and the score by Lalo Schifrin was also nominated for the Best Original Score . In 2005 , the United States Library of Congress selected it for the National Film Registry , considering it to be `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant . '' It has a 100 % rating on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes . The quotation used by the prison warden ( Strother Martin ) in the film , which begins with `` What we 've got here is failure to communicate , '' was listed at No. 11 on the American Film Institute 's list of the 100 most memorable movie lines .
