This is one well-traveled creature - in August 2006 alone, we received the photographs displayed above with messages claiming they depicted a mermaid (or a sea monster, or an extraterrestrial) found in Campeche (Mexico), Venda (South Africa), Cebu (the Philippines), and Swaziland. I just received these pics in an e-mail doing its rounds saying: “Mermaid found in Venda.” Just wondering if there’s any truth to it? The fact that this film is widely considered a shameless ET ripoff, attests to the Apartheid gov’s desperate attempt to improve their image globally and domestically.In this example collected from the Snopes inbox in 2006: The Apartheid gov still didn’t want to show Africans as equivalent to modern Whites, so most films at the time showed them either as ‘primitives’ or at least as subservient to Whites in some capacity.įurther, by allowing such films to be filmed in southern Africa by several overseas companies, the Apartheid gov was essentially trying to demonstrate that they are still open for business and welcoming of foreign (Western) interests, despite the international boycott. Part of that propaganda campaign involved producing films that not only portrayed southern Africa in a better light, but ‘primitive’ Africans in general - which is likely why these kids are cast as hunter-gatherer types. As a lover of bad films (and a South African) I’m surprised I haven’t heard of it, and I desperately want to see it now haha.Īlso, as a historian, I can tell that you if it was filmed in 1987 in SA/Namibia then it would have likely been subsidised by the Apartheid government who were trying to improve their image globally at the time as they were nearing the end of a costly, and highly unpopular, war in Angola.
