Xhosa Traditions Examined (Part 2)

We examine Xhosa Traditions from a Historical and Biblical Perspective. Pastor Vuyo Mkonwana is vastly experienced in Xhosa traditions. He lives and works in the Xhosa heartland, in East London (South Africa). He is currently finishing his doctorate on aspects of Xhosa traditions and culture. In Part 2 he gives the background of Imbeleko and Ukukhatshwa. He also gives context for meaningful dreams and divine calling. In Part 1 we asked him about the origin of traditional practices including initiation school. In Part 3 he addresses the worship of ancestors and people (apostles) in churches. He gives context for polygamy and gives an introduction of the Bible to Xhosa people.
