As one of the poorest countries in the world, the average monthly wage in Africa is only $220 per person, or even less. However, there is such a group of people in Africa, who wear luxury brand clothes, and the number of people is as high as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, what kind of people are these? Why are the living conditions so good?
The Sapp culture is very popular in Africa, Africa is rich in mineral resources, among which Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo are also rich in resources, but Congo cloth has not made full use of it, coupled with the invasion of colonizers, the development of Congo cloth has become more difficult.
During the colonial period, the mineral and forestry resources of Congo Brazzaville were robbed by France, and even in the new era of globalization, Congo Brazzaville's development was extremely backward and bad, and it also became dependent on France.
Today's Congo Brazzaville not only has a large number of people lost to France, but also a large number of rich mineral resources have poured into France, which seems not to be a colony, but in fact it has not completely gotten rid of colonization, and France still has a great say in Congo Brazzaville.
At the same time, the development of the Democratic Republic of the Congo was also very backward, and it became the private property of the Belgian king, under the rule of the Belgian king, the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo lived in extreme hardship, and those who disobeyed the Belgian king's orders were punished particularly severely.
The Belgian king also implemented a policy of ethnic division in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which was divided into three, six, nine and so on according to human skin, and the Congolese people had no right to speak at all.
During World War II, de Gaulle called for a "Free France", and a large number of Africans chose to join the French army.
After the end of World War II, African soldiers used the money they received during the war to buy a lot of luxury goods in France, and then returned to their home country of Africa, although some chose to stay in France.
These African soldiers, who returned home after buying heavily in France, were the prototype of the Sapp culture. In the twenties of the last century, the Sap culture began to become popular, but because it was still in the colonial period at the time, it quickly disappeared.
After the liberation of Africa, the meaning of luxury goods changed dramatically, and only white men could wear them, so the African people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Congo Brazzaville felt that this concept was very unreasonable, so they wore the clothes of luxury brands, which represented anti-colonialism.
In the context of Mobutu's rule, Africans were forbidden to wear European dress, and this meaning changed to become a symbol of resistance to power.
Nowadays, Sapp culture is still very popular in Africa, and its status in Africa is also quite high, and it has become a symbol of African culture, which will attract the attention of many Africans when you go out, and even give you a discount when you buy something, which is enough to show that the influence of Sapp culture in Africa should not be underestimated.
There is also a special organization of Sapp culture called the Sapp Association, which is dedicated to explaining this culture, and is an association of people of style and elegance.
They can walk down the street with catwalks or other models, and although there are no lights or photographers, the onlookers are their best viewers, and this phenomenon creates a great contrast, with people in fancy clothes on one side and poor people on the other.
At the same time, the Sapp Association also has rules that do not allow illegal things, such as stealing. However, there are still some people who ignore the rules and do some illegal things, stealing in order to be able to wear luxury brand clothes.
Sap culture has a high status in Africa, and at the same time, it is also very popular, and it is the spiritual sustenance of the locals.
