They always said Africa was a wild place.
In the late 19th century, stories of Africa’s
extreme landscapes, its hidden wealth
and mysterious people made it an almost
mythical world. But most of all: it’s iconic
animals – great migrations of wildebeest,
prides of lion marauding the
savannahs, elephant herds moving like
boulders across the horizons – captured
the imagination.
Even African football teams, a pastime
that has never failed to ignite excitement
and fervour among the inhabitants of the
continent, took on the names of iconic
wild animals to represent a symbol of
national pride, such as: the Elephants of
Cote d’Ivoire, Cameroon’s Indomitable
Lions, the DRC’s Leopards and the
Angolan Black Antelopes.
