Every year, we celebrate African Day at my school. This year we celebrate this day tomorrow.

My friends and I have prepared to showcase African male attire.

1

I took my friends to the number one tailor in town.

We call him Malume, which means uncle.

2

Malume knows all the styles of African men's attire.

We are all happy that he satisfied our needs.

3

He has made me a Malawian Khalidwe wear.

It is a cream white shirt with patterns and a matching pair of shorts.

4

My friend Sekani, will wear the popular African Dashiki.

It is blue with multicoloured embroidery.

5

Yamikani will go simple in the East African Kitenge.

It has orange and green checkered patterns.

6

Mayeso will showcase the West African Agbada.

His is yellow with green square patterns in the front.

7

Pilirani will be looking taller in Senegalese Kaftan.

It is an orange suit with blue patterns.

8

Siyeni has settled for a light blue Kenyan Safari suit.

He will look very official.

9

Majoni will wear the Eswatini Lihiya.

It is a mix of bright colours.

We are all proud of our different African attires.
