@penuelist_ We will only progress from negative racial bias towards ourselves when we mature spiritually and learn to accept our own black prophets (iimboni). Decolonisation must start in spirit, then in the mind.

[Bhele @_Bhele_]

@penuelist_ Agreed.

[Bhele @_Bhele_]

@Lemonysqueezy @NathiRadebe_25 @Lungah___ It's not indigenous to Africa, it contradicts the African spiritual way of life. It has no indigenous authority to inform African law, but a colonial authority.

@penuelist_ What a waste of influence.

@MbuyiseniNdlozi Do you see how a common and indigenous religion is able to unite its people? Back home, yours can't even deal with tribalism.

[Bhele @_Bhele_]

@NathiRadebe_25 @Lungah___ Decolonised countries build their constitutions and laws based on the principles of their indigenous religions. Sadly, African countries maintain and defend laws of their former colonisers. My point is that you are fighting Arabic Islamic law in defense of European Christian law.

[Bhele @_Bhele_]

@NathiRadebe_25 @Lungah___ I understand why you don't understand.

[Bhele @_Bhele_]

@NathiRadebe_25 @Lungah___ Prior to colonisation, people followed spiritualities revealed to them by their prophets. Rightfully, Arabs should follow Islam, Indians Hinduism, Africans AIS (African Indigenous Spirituality), etc. You should not be offended by a Muslim who submits to Shari'ah (Islamic) law.

[Bhele @_Bhele_]

@MphoentleMahla1 @Lungah___ Why should they? When they are finding opportunities in this divided continent that dinies its own indigenous spiritual identity? That supports others before their own.

[Bhele @_Bhele_]

@feziledhlamini_ All these compliance systems (Shari'ah law, halaal, kosher) exist within societies that strictly follow one religion. Sadly, native southern Africans are stuck with a devisive religion, plagued by many conflicting denominations. Worse, the word "ubuntu" is not found in the bible.

Many Africans are proud of Ethiopia for being the only African nation that was never colonised.

However, they rarely say anything about how when Ethiopia defeated European colonial invaders at the Battle of Adwa in 1896, the Ethiopian army was actually marching under the banner of the Christian Orthodox Church.

This was not even a result of modern European colonisation either, as Ethiopia converted to Christianity 1200 years before transatlantic slavery and 1500 years before Africa’s colonisation, around the same time the Roman Empire was only just beginning to tolerate the faith.
In fact, Coptic Christianity in Ethiopia and ancient Egypt developed entirely independently of European colonial influence.

The Nubian kingdoms of Sudan converted to Christianity in the 6th century AD, influenced by Egyptian Coptic and Ethiopian Christian missionaries. The resulting Nubian Christianity persisted for nearly 1000 years, only gradually giving way to Islam after the 13th-14th centuries.

It was actually Islam that prevented Ethiopia and Egypt from spreading Christianity across the Sahel and into West Africa.

It’s true that Western/Protestant Christianity spread through colonial missionary activity in Sub-Saharan Africa. In places like Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa, the modern religious landscape was shaped by European missionaries and colonial institutions. But that doesn’t take away from 1500 years of indigenous African Christianity.

So, while Christianity is not originally African, it’s also not originally European, having originated in the Levant in West Asia. In fact, large parts of Africa were Christian before many parts of northern and eastern Europe were.

So, when we focus on just one screenshot of Christianity’s spread by European colonisers as the whole story, it erases a rich chapter of African history while attempting to defend it.

The bigger picture is that there was a continuous tradition of African Christianity that existed for centuries as an African phenomenon, completely independent of Europe.

@jackson_rem @AzaniaParker SAn government policies should differentiate religion and spirituality.

[Bhele @_Bhele_]

@SizweLo How can there be an "indigenous African Christianity" when you stated that "Christianity is not originally African"?

The biggest threat to SA is SARB and the Treasury refusing to use their power to turn SA around.

Today Parliament was supposed to vote on the draft resolution that mandates the Portfolio Committee on Cooperative Governance and Traditional Leadership to engage with institutions that deal with traditional leadership, representatives of AmaHlubi and other similarly aggrieved communities on the implications of the non-restoration of their kingships.

The vote could not happen as we did not have a quorum in Parliament. We expect to know next week when it will be brought before the House for a vote, which will most likely take place in June.

We encourage everyone to continue taking pride in ubuHlubi and to continue sharing and speaking about the Hlubi nationhood, as well as the importance of preserving the identity, language, and heritage of AmaHlubi, ensuring that it is never erased or forgotten.

As 10(a) of the draft resolution, it is not only about AmaHlubi but other traditional communities that were destroyed during the colonial era and have not been restored during the democratic era.

We thank you for your continued support and advocacy in restoring the dignity of isizwe esimnyama.

Aythabe 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

@KhandaniM Spirituality > Religion

Religions are different human records and interpretations of Spirituality, making holy books highly similar to history books. Spirituality, however, lives in the present; expressed through active revelations that bridge the physical and spiritual worlds.

@MainlandAfrica Southern Africa has not known peace ever since the arrival of the first significant bible in 1652 with a thief named Jan Van Riebeeck.
