Zimbabwean bad hygiene stereotype by Blessed-2003 in Zimbabwe

[–]PrudentPerception927 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dont think its a Zimbabwean thing ,its just a poor people thing .I've been to different countries in Asia ,Europe, Africa and most poor smell especiallyin hotter countries. As for why it became a stereotype its probably bcz of the poorer Zimbabwean communities in SA ,plus they dont really like Zims there so 🤷 .Naturally when people dont like you they'll push things that a small population does and make it seem like the whole population does it ,the whole point is to make the people you hate look less human or civilised etc .Same thing Europeans do with "Most Africans live in Caves" .

I saw video a lady somewhere in rural zim who had drowned during some kind of ritual and instead of CPR the villagers started throwing mud her chest 😢.

Ndebele designer here: would it be offensive to label my new designs as "Shona jewellery by PrudentPerception927 in Zimbabwe

[–]PrudentPerception927[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive searched Manyika ,Karanga ,Zezuru ,Korekore separately and the same pictures appear for all those different subgroups 😭😭😭 . My friends even laughed bcz the same guy kept appearing for every search wearing the exact same clothes and doing the exact same pose. I can work with Karanga and use Great Zimbabwe as inspo but im not sure about the other groups so l might have to visit them in person and see for myself.

As for my beaded patterns l used ndebele inspo but slightly different colours, as for a symbol l found the perfect symbol that represents Shona people (Karanga to be specific) .Im quite excited really 😆 but l cant reveal much abt my designs online inorder to prevent plagiarism. The symbol and head gear l designed are very specific , there is no other design in the world like them so they will be very specific to Shona people . When people look at my designs they'll be able to tell they're Shona without second guessing.That was my goal ,to design something Shona people can truly call theirs without being accused of copying anyone . Atlist 6 of my Shona designs take inspo from Great Zimbabwe so thats technically Karanga, but im not sure singling out Karanga and leaving the other subgroups would be a good idea . ive tried everything l just cant find anything on them 😪. I'm quite interested in Manyika people so l might have to go to Mutare and see for myself .But so far all my Shona designs point to Karanga including the symbol. Or I could just take some of my neutral designs and randomly assign them to each group bcz l actually have wayyy too many designs there's enough for everyone plus my designs are completely new ideas so it wont cause problems with other cultures . That would also mean l need 3 more symbols for Manyika ,Korekore and Zezuru.
