Biography 01: Introduction

I was born in Zululand on the 21st July 1921 according to my father. When my father met

my mother, he had just lost his wife and a number of children in a terrible influenza

eidemic, which had sread through !outhern "frica, #illing thousands of eole in the

years 191$ and 1919. %hus my father was a widower with three sur&i&ing children.When

my arents met it was in the year 192', and my father was a builder and a(hristian, and

my mother was a young Zulu girl who racticed the ancient religion of the Zulu eole. I

am told that my arents were deely in lo&e with each other and wanted to get married,

but the white missionaries forbade my father from marrying my mother until she

became a (hristian.)y mothers father was a crusty old warrior who had ta#en art in the bitter wars that

the Zulus had fought against the *nglish, and he coldly refused to allow his daughter to

come under the yo#e of what he called the +religion of our enemies. + I cannot allow my

child to become a Christian, my grandfather was said to ha&e said, These Christians

are a race of thieves, of liars, and murderers, who stole our country from us at sword

point and at gunpoint. I would rather die than see a Christ worshipping Christian

within the stocade of my village. !ever"

(aught between (atholic missionaries on one hand, and a stubborn old Zulu warrior on

the other, my mother and father had no choice but to searate. "lthough my father

already susected that my mother was regnant. " great scandal bro#e out in my

grandfathers &illage when my mothers regnancy was disco&ered. )y grandfather

chased my mother out of his homestead and she was ta#en by one of her aunts to her

own &illage and there she ga&e birth to me, an illegitimate child, a child of shame. In

those days there was no greater shame among the Zulus than for a girl to gi&e birth out

of wedloc#. " great stigma was attached to this thing. "fter a time howe&er, my

grandfather allowed my mother -whom he lo&ed dearly to return, bac# to his &illage and

he insisted that she was not to see my father again.

It so haened that when I was about a year old, a younger brother of my fathers, who

had heard about my birth come u from the atal !outh (oast to my mothers &illage andas#ed my grandfathers ermission to ta#e me away, ermission that my grandfather

angrily granted. + #emove this disgrace from my home, Christian fellow" he said to my

fathers brother, + And tell your brother that if I ever set eyes on him, I will mae him

suffer bitterly for what he did to my daughter. I will sei$e him and ill him very slowly

indeed. Tell him that. I was ta#en to my fathers home in the !outh of atal, on the

northern ban# of the /m#umazi 0i&er, and there I grew u. And it was while

growing up that it was discovered that I was something of a visionary and a

prophet. " talent, which together with an artistic inclination, to draw and to scult, the

woman who now brought me u, my fathers new wife, did her uttermost to suress.

I did not attend school until I was well within my 1th year of life. "nd because my

family now #et on tra&elling, as a result of my fathers building rofession, which too#

him from town to town, we became a family of tra&ellers, who ne&er stayed long in one

lace.

In 193, my father found a job, a major building job, in the %rans&aal and he brought us

all from atal to join him where he was building. I attended school on and off in

different schools, and then, in 1937 I went through great shock and trauma, when I was seized and sodomized y a gang of mineworkers outside a mine

comound. %his caused me to be ill for a long time.

"nd although I was ta#en to white doctors, I could find no hel until my fathers brother,

the same one who had ta#en me away from my maternal grandfather decided to ta#e me

bac# to my mothers &illage in the hoe that I would find hel there. "nd I did. )y

grandfather, a man whom my father desised as a heathen and a demon worshier

heled me and brought me bac# to health, where (hristian doctors had failed. I, still a

(hristian and a confessing catholic, had not belie&ed at all that my grandfather would be

able to hel me. "nd I was greatly surrised when he did, and I began to wonder were

not the missionaries wrong when they called eole such as my grandfather ungodly

heathens. If my grandfather had been a stuid heathen sa&age, as white missionaries

lo&ed to call eole li#e him, how is it that he had been able to hel me4

It was here that I began to 5uestion many things that I ne&er 5uestioned before. Where

our ancestors really the sa&ages that 5uiet missionaries would ha&e us belie&e they were4

Were we "fricans really a race of rimiti&es who ossessed no #nowledge at all before

the white man came to "frica4 %hese and many, many other 5uestions began to haunt

my mind. "nd then one day when he was sure that I was fully returned to health,mygrandfather told me that the illness that had een trouling me for so long,

had actually een a sacred illness which re!uired that I had to ecome a

shaman, a healer. "nd when the old man said this to me, I readily agreed to undergo

initiation at the hands of one of my grandfathers daughters, a youngsangoma named

)yrna.

When they heard that I had become a sangoma, both my father and my stemother, told

my maternal uncle that I was ne&er to set foot in their home again. "nd so I found myself

on my own, a youth without a home, without family and so I began tra&elling. 6irst I

went to !waziland and then the land of the 7asotho, and I de&eloed a wanderlust that

was to be with me until today.I was not travelling for en"oyment, however I was

travelling for knowledge, in search of clarity of mind and in search of the truth about

my eole.

!ometimes I would find jobs for a few months and then mo&e on. !ometimes I found

myself tra&elling with missionaries, the &ery eole in whom I no longer belie&ed.

!ometimes I found myself tra&elling with miners, returning home from the

Johannesburg gold mines. I came into contact with men and women of countries that I

had not #nown about before. I learned things that I had not #nown about before. Ie#perienced things, which only those that walk the path of the healer in

Africa e#perience.

If a strange thing was haening in the lace that I haened to be, I became one of

those who were summoned to that lace to hel using "frica8s ancient wisdom and

#nowledge in that situation. I found myself amongst amazing and strange eole. I

found myself amongst men and women, ossessing #nowledge that was already ancient

when the man Jesus (hrist was born. I heard stories from the lis of storytellers that

went bac# to the remotest of the remote times. !tories that &ery few had e&er heard

before.

"s the years ast, I became filled with a fanatical obsession I realized how raidly "frica

was changing. I realized to my shoc# and sorrow that the culture of my eole, a culture

that I had thought immortal, was actually dying. :ery, &ery soon the "frica that I #new

would become a forgotten thing. " thing of the ast and I decided to try and reser&e

somehow, what I could of my eoles culture. ;ow was I to do that4 6riends ad&ised me

to write boo#s. ears of careful in&estigation had taught me the *uroean owers that had colonized

"frica had done more than just beat our eole into submission with artillery and rifles.

%hey had done more than simly confusion amongst our eole by introducing many

conflicting &ersions of the (hristian religion amongst the eole. %hey had deliberately

so brain washed our eole, that "fricans had lost all self-#nowledge, self-lo&e, self-

resect, self-ride and self-deendency. If you rob a eole of all these things you turn

them into a race of robots, fore&er deendent uon you. "nd e&en if you stood u and

wal#ed away from these eole, and said torob them that you were gi&ing them bac#

their freedom, they would stand u and follow you where&er you are going for their

minds were still your sla&es e&en though their bodies were now free of your chains.

I belie&ed then as I belie&e now, that the "frican has ne&er really gained freedom and

indeendence. $hich is why our people have not een ale to achieve what

nations such as India and the tiger %ations of &outh 'ast Asia, which were

once also colonized y the white people as we were, have today achieved. 6or

e?amle today India is a nuclear ower feared and resected by all nations on earth.

India is admired for its great culture and its ancient religious hilosohies as well as its

other hilosohies. While "frica is a downtrodden casualty of history fore&er deendentli#e a whied sla&e uon her former oressors.

%his brea#s my heart as a blac# man, I who, o&er many years of tra&elling through my

motherland, have discovered that there was a time when we, the lack people

now held in contempt y many races were once masters of the world. When

we, now derided as a nation of sa&ages incaable of ruling itself were once the tutors of

the early world, I feel great bitterness, when I see how far we ha&e been made to fall. $e

whose sons and daughters once walked tall in the Americas, not as slaves

ut rather as civilizes and rulers. I wept when I found out that we were once

the founders of some of the worlds oldest civilizations. $e were there in

&umeria, we were there in India, we founded great kingdoms in (amodia,

and the first man to e saluted as emperor of (hina was one of us, a son of

Africa, a lack man. )uddha was a lack man from Africa, his earliest

statues confirm this. *rishna was a lack warrior. +he goddess *ali , is

depicted as an African woman. *&en the 7ible states that imrod was a great man

in the eyes of the @ord and he was the father of (ush, who founded the great cushite

nation. I wee e&en now when I see "fricans slaughter each other in the streets of!outh "frica, now suosedly a free nation. I wee e&en now when my eole hunger and

suffer in the &eld in !outh "frica. I wee e&en now when *uro centric education is being

fed to our children. 6ed in order to ma#e them "frofobes, creatures that hate and desise

their motherland, which loo# down in contemt uon their own eole, because this is

what all *uroean educated blac# eole do. %hey desise "frica and all she stands for.

"nd they are in contemt of the culture of her eole. %hey are still e&en now doing the

colonialists dirty wor# for them, because if you want to destroy the culture of a nation,

you must brainwash the youth of that nation and ma#e them do your dirty wor# for you.

+here is not a single university in Africa, even now which teaches our people

the truth aout themselves. %here is not a single school in !outh "frica e&en now

which teaches our eole about what it means to be an "frican.

suffered, and am still suffering. *&en now there are white men that ha&e set my own

children, my sons against me. " born again (hristian reacher of lies brain washed my

daughters mind and stole her away from me, saying, you must not tal# to your father , he

is a de&il worshier.

I am not see#ing anybodies symathy when I am telling you this I just want you all to

#now who and what (redo )utwa is. I am one of the scums of this earth, a creature

dejected and ridiculed by uni&ersity rofessors. Erofessors who later came snea#ing into

my home see#ing the &ery information that they ridiculed me for re&ealing. I am a blac#

man who has e&ery reason to be bitter and angry. 7ut somehow I cannot get myself to be

angry. >ou cannot be angry at the ignorant. >ou cannot but ity the self-destructi&e.

)any years ago I was fortunate enough to find a woman who lo&ed me, a woman who

became my wife and the mother of my se&en children. %his woman was a strong and

godly woman whose 5uietness, hid a erson of steel, this woman ga&e u drin#ing, ga&e

u deendence on alcohol out of the lo&e of her children, and of lo&e of fool and the

cretin that she married. %oday I stand alone, a man rejected by the world. " widower

who lost his wife a few months ago under e?tremely sinister circumstances. )y wife

went to hosital suosedly suffering from cancer of the uterus, while I was away, and ?-

rays showed a strange metal de&ice inside her womb. obody #nows what this de&ice

was. obody #nows how it had got into my wife8s uterus, but before my wife assed

away, I recei&ed a threatening letter warning me not to tal# to a man named Aa&idIc#e or else my wife would die. I did not ta#e that warning seriously, and my wife died

within two wee#s after I had recei&ed it. I ha&e e&ery reason to be angry with the frot that

is called western ci&ilization. I ha&e e&ery reason to be angry with the &arious foreign

religions that ensla&e our eoles minds and blin#er their &ision. I ha&e e&ery reason to

be angry with education systems that rob our eole of their true worth, of the truth

about themsel&es. %his is my friends is (redo )utwa.

I am a scultor, who has created large scultures in &arious arts of !outh "frica. I am a

ainter who has ainted ictures that were afterwards stolen from him, by e?loiters. I

am the writer of boo#s, whose boo#s fill the oc#ets of others with money, and nit his

own. %hat is (redo )utwa. I have used the knowledge that I ac!uired over

many years of investigation and travel, I ha&e used that #nowledge to create job

oortunities for my star&ing eole. %he &illages that I built in !oweto, and which were

fellow !outh "fricans. I made jobs where there are none. I made li&ings for my eole

where there had been none. I belie&e that a truly democratic country, is a country that

uses the siritual talents and the heritage of its eole to feed the hungry and clothe the

na#ed. 7ut what has been my reward4 I ha&e been scorned demonise lied about by

consirators, who delight in setting blac# against blac#, by gullible blac#s that swallowany garbage white newsaers feed them. If you sea# about the international consires,

that is the go&ernment behind many countries go&ernments, eole laugh at you for a

fourteen carrot lunatic, but there is such a thing and it is ruining my eole e&en now.

%he "ids eidemic which will soon wie out great tribes, such as the Zulus, my eole, is

no accident, neither is the flood of drugs that is sweeing o&er this once beautiful

country. %he soaring crime wa&e is no accident. %he eidemic of olitical #illings which

are almost a daily occurrence in some arts of !outh "frica is no accident either. "ll

these things are lanned by someone and carried out by someone on behalf of that

someone.

%hey tell us that the high incidence of rae in !outh "frica is a macho thing. 0ubbishD It

is deliberate, it is lanned, and most of the woman that is raed in !outh "frica is raed

for blac# magical uroses. (hildren who disaear where do they disaear to4

In !outh "frica today, criminals ha&e got more rights than law-abiding citizens. "

criminal will #ill your father, in the morning, be arrested in the afternoon and be

released on bail on the following morning to come bac# and #ill you who heled the

olice to ut him behind bars. %oday in !outh "frica, as in Erohibition era, "merica, the

distinction between the olice and the criminals is getting dimmer and dimmer by theday. "nd all this is no accident.
