At the end of 2021, after traveling through some countries in southern Africa such as Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa, and Mozambique, I decided to leave my job and my life in Spain, driven by the excitement of starting this project. In 2024, two years after that decision, I have returned to share what I have seen and learned.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cTsikane\u201d<\/strong> is a word that comes from Xitsua, one of the mother tongues of Mozambique, specifically from the province of Inhambane. The friends I made there during my trip, now siblings from different mothers and fathers, gave me an alias when I told them that I had left behind a stable job in Spain with the desire to change my life. \u201cTsikane\u201d is an adjective to define those people who make difficult but necessary decisions to inspire a great change.

These combined factors have contributed to South Africa becoming a diverse and multicultural country.
