Religion, Money & Power – Joshua Maponga Marara on How Faith Controls Africa

🌍 Is Africa losing its soul to Western religion? In this powerful lecture, Joshua Maponga Marara unpacks the deep clash between African spirituality and colonial religion, showing how faith has been used to control politics, money, and morality. 🔥 Highlights from this episode: The Ambira instrument 🎶 – science, spirituality & African sacredness in one. Why African justice systems worked better than prisons – and how modern jails waste taxpayer money. Colonial religion vs African spirituality – how Christianity & Zionism shifted African morality. Religion, money & politics: from Israel-Palestine to African governments. The destruction of African ethics & culture through missionary schools. The family tree, rites of passage, morality & community preservation. Why Africans must stop seeking a “middle ground” with Western culture and reclaim their own. 💡 Maponga asks: Can Africa find balance, or must it return fully to its roots? 👉 Watch until the end and join the discussion in the comments! https://forms.gle/3KVxRTMkqPkreHE88 Collaborate with Thee Alfa House 👆🏾👆🏾 We’re open to exciting collaborations!
