Yes, this is probably one of the funniest things to see in Africa… Snap your favorite signs, billboard and poster failings in Africa, send them this way. This definitely needs its own category!
What?
Snapped in Newtown. Newtown, which is ironically one of the oldest parts of Joburg

Oh, the irony!
No suggestion on what I’d do better, other than maybe, errrr… actually write an “About” page? LOL.

A (hi)story of bad signage:
“In an effort by the ministry of education to illustrate the concept of redundance to it’s students, the Ghanaian government had signs placed along the roadside. The funny thing is, there really aren’t very many bumps, just holes.”
A couple more.
Too often we sit by and say nothing as failed programs, projects and ideas are launched into and inside Africa. Here’s a chance for you to air your gripes and show us all just how cynically intelligent you are. To anonymously state why you think “project x” is a complete waste of resources, time or is a danger to society.
In most cases, there reasons why groups are doing something is for a good purpose, they are just tragically mislead, ignorant or both. Which is why we apply the “ONE RULE” at AfriFAIL, and that is that you must give one suggestion of how this failure might not have been. A way it could have been a success.
You’re also free to post your funny African fail pictures:
An electric pole planted in the middle of the road, why?
