Manitoba Poison is a 50/50 hybrid with heavy indica properties that vastly outweigh its sativa counterpart. Its effects arrive instantaneously, delivering deep relaxation that easily converts to a good night&rsquo;s sleep. The rounded, purple-fringed buds are wreathed in dark jade leaves and have a fresh, woody aroma that carries through until the exhale. Bred by Great White North from unnamed African varieties, Manitoba Poison thrives outdoors in temperate northern climates and grows about 4 feet tall.

Review for Zamaldelica [Zamal x Golden Tiger (Malawi x Meao Thai)]:
This 100% sativa strain is pure adventure fuel! By a long shot, this is the clearest, most uplifting weed I've ever smoked - far more than Durban Poison, Hazes, Kali Mist or any other sativa strains I've tried. It imparts a happy, clear, truly get up and go feel that is perfect for activity and alleviating depression. The buds are thin, wispy, and airy with a piney, pungent, and almost minty aroma and flavor. Coated in the tiniest, clearest trichs, quite sticky to handle. The smoke is so smooth, inducing very little coughing. 
This strain has been available at a couple different dispensaries in the Portland area. I picked up my sample from GreenSky Collective, tested at about 20% thc. 
This strain is fun. It's the only strain I've ever tried that leaves me with no hesitation in undertaking any physical, intellectual, and social tasks - it almost leaves me feeling mentally sharper than before imbibing. It is inspiring and invigorating. Seek out this strain for all your  day time, work, or social applications - it is pure fun!

I am a second generation and grew up smoking "Bhangi" as we call it in Swahili and you are spot on! I love my Kenyan bush weed it is everything you said a totally different state of mind and can be a bit overwhelming at times. I am a California Resident now and have been a would love to see more landrace strains. As you said hybrid genetics are making there way to fields across the world everyday and altering natural genetics forever. Smoke them while you can!! Jah Bless

Like other reviews...African Strain is a blanket term here.  I am born and raised in South Africa and at 33y/o i have smoked some of my countries best.
Swazi Gold like someone else mentioned was actually used to refer to the Hash we used to get, and there used to be a gold or red stamp burned into the hash brick to indicate red = medium and gold = premium.   Swazi Gold or Swazi Red.
I actually still have original Swazi Seeds from the early 90's(1990 - 1993), and grew 2 trees outdoor this past season.  One tree gave me about 1300g.  Some of the best crystals you have ever seen on marijuana.  Today, the best Swazi weed is grown near Piggs Peak Casino.  It is the highest point in Swaziland and a match box full of heads cost about R 35/ $ 2.50. 

But i have smoked, Durban Poison from intensive African farms in KZN (Tongaat, right next to the river).  Not a lot of people know this but Northern Lights Strain is also from KZN/Durban, a vivid upper high.  That was years ago....

Then there is Malawi Cob which was "Malwai Sativa" and the farmers in Malawi used to grow the whole plant under ground wrapped up in a Mellie/Corn husk and leaves (Google it, its hard to explain if you don't know what i mean).  The weed is very very compact and very dark, almost black and tastes a lot like dirt....Obviously.

Then we have Congo Black, which comes from the DRC(Congo), also very dark...actually black and smokes very harsh on the throat, but a very enjoyable long lasting high.
The Kilimanjaro strain that you know of was refereed to as Tanzanian.  Not from Kenya, but just next door.  Very chilled normal all day smoke. (2100miles from South Africa Boarders)

Then there is a strain that only a true South African will know and understand and that is Rooibaard.  who remembers Rooibaard?  Anyone who has NEVER heard of this strain, which is almost impossible to find now days, go and google Bottle Brush trees and look what the flowers of THAT tree look like. The buds have the same colour intensity and hairs just as long as those red hairs.  A strain that will make you laugh at literally everything and anything, i cant stress this enough, super relaxed and very very very funny.  No matter how long you have been smoking for.

And one lost note before i sign off... I have my suspicions that Original Skunk #1 was cross breed with Swazi to stabilize the strain.  And still today Skunk is used to harden a plants resistance and stabilize any cross pollinated strain, today.

We are in mid winter right now, and i am waiting for our grow season which starts end August begin of September, and then budding starts end March Beginning of April.  And i will be planting some Rooibaard of which i have kept the best seeds for 15 years.  Come back and have a look at my posted pics next year to see.

Here is Sunny South Africa we hardly ever grow under artificial light, I normally extend my grow season by starting my seeds in a cupboard or tent at the end of July.  So by September they go straight into the ground at about knee height, but knee high at the very beginning of the grow season  - (6 - 7 month Veg Growth) - 8-10 Hr Direct Sun Light daily :)   Lucky Luck me.

As mentioned large differance between various African strains, especialy in South Africa. Very very good strains from Swaziland & South Eastern parts. Indica like is also to be had, like some reviews state some of herb to be found is real rubish mostly sativa crap. But some beats the shit out of best strains in US!! Have had in lots o places around the world but still stick to naturl wild 420 from Swaziland area. Havn been smokn and plantn in South Africa 20 yers+ there good plants to be had some can even handle temp. well past 40 deg C. Unfortuntly still not legal in SA. But some wild seed if wanted mighty be able 2 to b shared if need be, not forsale but to SHARE to those developn new strains in US. If ya have way of gettn it to ya I would gladly share. So there ya hav it some super good stuff to b had if one nows where to get. B good and enjoy

🔥 • this review is for an 85.3%-THC Sour African/South African Skunk wax, which apparently is a cross of African Haze & AJ's Sour Diesel.  
 [CT MMJ Sat Z, from Advanced Grow Labs] • 🔥

• almost-immediate cessation + relief from nausea & anxiety, while pain has decreased from 7 to a 4, so i can't complain; high terp-profile on (AJ's) Sour Diesel ensures a MOST-delicious flavor; and the cerebral high|euphoria makes this strain a very special treat! • 👌🏻🌌

Very heavy high. Cheap weed that comes by the truckload at a time. Over here we call it Swazi, having two main strains Swazi red and swaz gold

I'm smoking Kwazulu now which is from South Africa. my first pure sativa. Decent strength, long lasting and careless high that's good for giggles and dumb jokes. M-m-munchie-e-es... Flowers really fast but can grow very tall if you let it. Little to no couch lock. need to try this at the party or a walk by foot. I guess it's energetic...
