AFRICAN TIME is a phrase used to describe the relaxed attitude that many Africans exhibit towards time. It seems to have become a part of African culture in that most African events tend to begin a few hours after the specified start time. This becomes frustrating to those Africans that like to be punctual. Ironically, many Africans that are late to various social events are seldom late to work and to other engagements of interest. This fact questions whether AFRICAN TIME is really a culture or a Choice. This story humorously uses different events to explore the habit of tardiness in many Africans. It also confronts a similar issue known as COLORED PEOPLES TIME (CPT) among African-Americans. While exposing the dangers of this epidemic, the story suggests what can be done to combat the infamous AFRICAN TIME
