    A video of South African schoolgirls doing a seminude traditional performance has spread widely on social media. Their choirmaster said it was a show of Xhosa pride. The education minister calls it exploitation.https://nyti.ms/2Li0iOC

        I think it should not have been videoed but I do see both sides of this issue. Shame on the Minister of Education for videoing it but proud of the Minister for going traditional on the performance.

        @casper8814, that is your opinion and I respect that. But you are looking at it from your perspective. Think about it from theirs. This IS apart of their tradition. Far be it for me to think it;s wrong. But, there are too many people out there who would/could take adv of it.

        This was how National Geogohic made money for years. At least they had the decency to admit it.

        You’re in a foreign country, you better obey their laws and rules. No nudity means no nudity, doesn’t matter that it’s a tradition or a ritual in your country. Why can’t people get it?!
