AfriCan

AfriCan # # # # For too long we have been feeling weighed down by our past. Namely the colonisation of African countries and the enslavement of our people.

Some feel like they have less of a chance to succeed because of their past. Time has since separated us further by creating different social and economic classes. We want to abolish the crab mentality of "if I can't have it, neither can you" (The analogy in human behavior is claimed to be that members of a group will attempt to negate or diminish the importance of any member who achieves success beyond the others, out of envy, spite, conspiracy, or competitive feelings, to halt their progress.) AfriCan aims to adapt an ant-like mentality. One that everyone is working towards a better society, no matter the role that you are given. By doing so we will gather collective intelligence which will assist in bettering Africa as a whole. The AfriCan Project seeks ideas that can change people from all nations. Our goal is to bring youngsters from all African countries regardless of their culture, social group and profession. When people talk about Africa what comes to mind is; Civil War, lack of infrastructures, poverty, spread of chronical diseases, dictatorship, lack of vision and identity crisis. Africa is often looked at as the underdog, AfriCan aims to change that mentality by empowering our people. Contestants must motivate youngsters to respect every culture, society and social groups. They must believe in good ideals and must serve as a face of Africa; they are symbols of change that Africa deserves and that Africa has been dreaming of. In order to win the Contest, the contestants will have to come up with proposals and solutions that can solve social, cultural and economic issues that have been challenging Africa. We will help the winner to create an NGO that will help better Africa. This NGO will be supervised by AfriCan and we will provide sponsors to help the winner achieve the goal of changing Africa. The contestants can be voted through WWW.VIDEO-SPACE.NET, AFRICAN.VIDEO-SPACE.NET or by SMS on Yookoo. Contestants with most votes win the Contest and will be awarded R200,000.00.

The first black Africans to compete in the Olympics were Tswana tribesmen from South Africa

August 30 1904, two Tswana tribesmen, Len Tau (Len Taunyane) and Yasmani ( Jan Mashiani), they were referred to as LenTau and Yasmani because officials could not pronounce their surnames, became the first black Africans to compete in the modern Olympics when they ran in the Summer Olympics men's marathon held in St Louis. They had been in St Louis on a Boer Ear Exbibit in Louisiana Purchase Exposition held alongside games when they decided to enter the marathon at the last minute.

Tau ran barefoot on an insuitable course and over dusty roads, so dusty that it caused many of the athletes to collapse. Tau finished ninth and Mashiani came twelfth. This was a disappointing to Tau as many observers were sure he could have done better if he had not been chased nearly a mile off course by aggressive dogs.
